Did anyone see the report that 7 did last night? I missed it but I did read the article that they posted on it. Just curious if you could tell what store they went into.

Wasnt Bens in Amesbury!!!! When ever I have needed to buy cuffs or duty gear there, they wanted ID. Simons in Lynn is pretty tight on that too.

I think it was Doughboy's in Revere. The exterior shot of them walking in looked like the facade of the building they are in and the inside shot looks like them too.

Excellent expose.

I've always told my wife that if she's stopped by an unmarked vehicle, to roll the window down an inch, and request a marked cruiser. If the "cop" tries to open the door, drive away and call 911 on the cell phone. I don't know of any cop that wouldn't find that reasonable.

My department prohibits unmarked vehicles from making traffic stops, unless it involves a public safety emergency (OUI all over the road, etc.).

We need more of these type stories!!!!!!!! Get the Legislature thinking!! We have had an increase of incidents out here by wanna-be's or those who are in security/similar jobs playing police. It isn't getting better, its getting worse.

It's scary that some of the idiots in the Legislature are surprised how easy it is to buy a full uniform.Even the ones on Public Safety Committee's.Then again this is Massachusetts, where Represenatives on the ways and mean committtee are nothing but a bunch of tax cheats.

Yesterday I tried to order a CMPSA sweatshirt from MHQ (just to collect, not impersonate) and they wouldnt give it to me without a CMPSA special agent ID.

What a screwed up state. I walked into Lynn City Hall approximately 7 years ago and requested a certified copy of my Birth certificate. I asked the clerk if he wanted to see my ID. Clerks quote “No you look like an honest guy”. YEAH RIGHT. I go to by some equipment at Neptune Uniform in Haverhill. Apparently I didn’t look that honest. I had to show ID. The reporter said the uniform was about $200 dollars. Were that. Neptune gets approximately $50 for pants.

Well in good ole Assachusetts any one can request a copy of any one's birth certificate. Give me 25 dollars and some basic information on said person and I can go to any city or town hall and get any Massachusetts born residents birth certificate forthwith no legal questions asked. Fox 25 also had a segment on this a few years ago!!!

It was M+S in Somerville.

The salesperson was Steve. The S part of the equation

00:43 Seconds into the video you can see some vests on a display rack. The top one says Somerville

Drove by there sometime last week...my girlfriend looks at the place and says, "That's a police supply store? Looks sketchy. So hmm, go figure. Anyone ever shopped there? Definately looks like a dump from the outside.

I live in the city and drive by it often it is well known as "Mug & Steal" if you catch my drift.

Hmm, all these years I thought that M & S stood for "Medford & Somerville" because it was near the line of the 2 cities on Main Street.

Our legislators are too busy trying to ban the FN 5.7 handgun that's already banned and trying to put GPS tracking in guns, there is no time for such silly issues as non-LEO's getting full Police uniforms and gear.

I am always surprised that I am asked for ID when buying equipment. Everything gets billed to my PD too.

Posted by: thelastsamurai

I was at Neptune in Haverhil and HEROS in Lowell last week and both places I had to produce ID to get my gear.

I saw the report. The woman who reported being stopped by the "fake Police" is a nut case! When I saw the report, I thought, "I've arrested her before!" Sure enough, I looked in the in house computer, and there she was. She is a real nutcase, and I don't know where she was supposed to have been stopped by the "fake police", but I wouldn't doubt it one bit if she made it up.
