It's Cop Boy

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Pastor: Boy who impersonated cop crying for help

... skip ...

A prosecutor listed police paraphernalia that the boy allegedly owned — including a fictitious Chicago Police Department badge, a CPD hat, handcuff keys and a case, an official sweater with patches and a black vest with a name tag. The boy allegedly had filled his vest with magazines so it would appear he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

Watkins, with whom Richardson lived for much of last year before returning to his mother, said the impersonation is “a cry for help.’’ He noted the 2002 Leonardo DiCaprio film about a young con artist and disguise master Frank Abagnale Jr., “Catch Me If You Can.’’ In the boy’s situation, “It’s ‘Help Me If You Can,’ ’’ said Watkins.

Police acknowledged it was a serious security breach and said they are investigating how the boy managed to check out a radio and ticket book and how he managed to spend five hours on patrol while escaping suspicion.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Kid Cop: 14-year-old boy dupes force and goes on patrol for the day

A 14-year-old boy who wants to become a policeman fooled Chicago officers into believing he was one of them and was sent out in a patrol car.

When challenged, the boy was unable to produce a police badge. A search found that his holster was empty and that a newspaper was stuffed into the bag where he was meant to carry his bulletproof vest.

If a 14-year-old boy can fool an officer for five hours what else slips by cops?
