Brandon Freeman impersonates cop
The Visalia Sun Gazette recounts the story of 29-year-old Brandon Freeman who thought that it’s easier to pretend to be a police officer than to actually train as one;
Brandon Freeman, 29, was driving a 2008 Buick sedan in the area of Mooney Boulevard and Cartmill Avenue just north of Tulare when he activated a red light attached to his vehicle and attempted a traffic stop. The car, being driven by an off duty sergeant with the Visalia Police Department, didn’t pull over immediately and continued driving toward Visalia where he coordinated a [stop] on the vehicle with VPD patrol units.
Freeman was interviewed and arrested for impersonating an officer and other charges. A passenger in this vehicle was also arrested and booked into jail for outstanding felony warrants.
I don’t know why he didn’t get away with it. Don’t all police drive ten-year-old Buicks? I’m sure that his passenger was happy, too.

Poster child for the term “Fucking Dumbass.” Had one of these type of incidents on an average of every three weeks in Central Florida while I worked Intell.
More like “Sooper Stupid Fucking Dumbass”…
Lord love a duck, is there no end to Da Stoopid here?
well, it is FloriDUH…
Actually, Viaslia is in California.
Duh!
😉
You mean Califoni-*DUHHH*?
As is Visalia?
Isn’t that fistula?
Thank God it’s not the Gunshine State of Florida.
Another “wart on the ass of humanity”!!
Note to self. When you have outstanding felony warrants don’t get in a car when your friend is going to commit a felony….
We had one in Tucson recently, he even had a dashcam which came in handy when they popped him.

Yes, good ol’ Tucson….”Capital of the weird” Jody Foster – Alice Doesn’t Live Here Any More
Just how is it that these phony fuckers are magnetically drawn to find off duty law enforcement and attempt to conduct a traffic stop?
I mean how many *other* vehicles are out there on the road at the same time?
I guess it’s just one of the mysteries of the universe.
Oh and once the offenders are caught by *REAL* LEO, I say the rule book goes out the window and the the new rules of engagement can include anything the real LEO chooses, such as “Boot to the head”, “Pavement licking 101”, “tazering until the battery runs down”, Pepper Spray really *IS* a food item and the always popular “I’m gonna give you a 10 second head start and then we can see how far you can bounce off the front bumper of my vehicle, foot race”.
😀 😀 😀
Karma, she’s a beotch.
Why can’t some SEAL posers get caught up in a shore patrol sweep and pressed into service?
This might not be the first time he did this. Can one of these LEO impersonators stop a law-abiding citizen and take his money, without the victim reporting the crime?
Or, this guy might have been targeting someone in specific and got the wrong car…
I’m certain he’s dumbshit enough that he didn’t even think about the consequences of what he was doing.
The article that Eggs linked alluded that the dude may have been targeting drug users to steal their stash. That guy had nice dash cam footage for the cops to look at.
My experience as a beat cop taught me to NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the criminal class.
I remember a LEO friend of mine telling me they don’t have time to go after the smart criminals because the stupid ones keep them busy 24/7.
I like that “Tazering until the battery runs down” thought. That would work, in 99.97% of the cases.
All “learning” experiences ha ha
My question would be; What are the off-duty LEOs doing that makes them stand out to the phonies wanting to perform traffic stops? Do they speed regularly? Run red lights more often than the general public? Drive like A-holes who think they own the road? There has to be some reason the off-duty cops are getting pulled over by the fake cops so often!
This one has a terminal case of the dumb ass!
He’s more fucked up than a spotted Zebra!
Geeee …. I like that. Is it on the “Great Wall O’ Insults”™???
If not, it ought to be.
Annnnnnd I just ran across this. Yep, it’s going on there.
If brains were dynamite he wouldn’t even have enough to blow his nose. He strikes me as the type who would ride the #5 bus twice to make up for missing the #10!
We all have a purpose in life. His purpose is to serve as a warning to others on what not to do.
Good job, buddy.
One of our Sgt’s was on his way to work when a guy in a 20 year old Corolla with a flashing red light on the dash ran him off the road. The Sgt followed him to the Methadone clinic which was apparently closing soon. Dweeb had taken a red flashing light from the rear of a bicycle and taped it to his dash.
He didn’t get his methadone that day.
This loser looks like he might have a case of the “Otchies”.
“Don’t all police drive ten-year-old Buicks?”
Broderick Crawford did. “2150 to headquarters”

Maybe your should ask one Dennis “Denny” Chevalier, aka Heavy Chevy. He likes cruising around in an old police Oldsmolbuick playing Phony POPO…
That whole series is on you tube. I remember watching those shows when I was a teenager. Silent Service is also on there and commercial free. I love those old shows.
I wonder what this jackass was hoping to accomplish by his charade. You wouldn’t suppose that this was his first exhibition as a poser, would you?
It might be fun to hear the actual police officer’s recantation of the story. At what point did the real cop let the poser know that he had flamed out, big time.
He’s in the stickiest situation since Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun
(Blackadder)
Having been to Visalia (described to me by one local resident as “Satan’s taint”), I find this completely unsurprising. That place is just depressing.
“Satan’s taint”… that’s fucking hysterical…
Must be a different Visalia, I’m retired VPD and think the resident must have been describing the northside around the oval wich would fit that description to a T. I will say it was a lot better in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I got the hell out of Ca. After retirement and never looked back as have most of the guys I worked with at both the PD and SD. As for assclown there pretty sure he’s probably a Poplarite from the south end of the county also known as Tweakerville.
Those chin pubes just scream “legit.”
I think he has been hitting the crack pipe a little too often. If he had a few at birth, something has been killing off his little gray cells.
If “Brandon” were the sort of fellow who sought job openings which require a resume, he would likely try to work in this “experience” along the lines of, “I recently interviewed with the Visalia Police Department, where one of my associates was recently on-boarded…”
Brandon Freeman, phony cop, must be an embarrassment to his family for failing to live up to his last name. 🙄
So, when arraigned, did he cop to the charges?
…..cause every plain clothes cop looks like a methed up cousin kisser. Total Legit
