#nypd-impersonation

There is a pretty strong argument, I think, that it is impersonating a police officer, when a federal agent implies that they are NYPD. Federal personnel are allowed to represent themselves generally as police or law enforcement, and have been doing so for many years. What could set this incident apart are two factors: First, if the agents described themselves as NYPD in particular, that moves from vague insinuation to direct impersonation.
