Fake Cop Gets Busted By Real Cop

Craig Tavares had a great idea. He pulled together a Taser gun, flashing lights and a police badge he purchased online to become the ultimate fake cop. (Not like a Jean Claude Van Dam movie good, but good none the less.) But he took playing dress up to a whole new level when he started pulling over unsuspecting drivers. (See mugshot at right.) He is accused of of impersonating an Osceola County, Florida sheriff's deputy. This convicted felon showed up on the idiot radar when he started showing off his goods to co-workers at Gold Leaf Security. One co-worker even saw him pull someone over! He finally got nailed when he pulled over a REAL sheriff's deputy. No reason was given for why he was impersonating a cop...other than, you know, it's fun.
