I notice there is a group, MassCops Brass...so we pretty much know what that means...
Would it be a good idea to have other groups like:
Police, State Police, Feds, Sheriff, Civil service, Retired, sparky, mall ninja,
etc and so on...
Then people could get added to the groups based on their employment status so we sort of "know" who's who...
No real checking as to employment status...it would just be on your honor...but if it's found out someone is playing cop on the Internet but not in real life...you can just add them to the sparky category or ban them...
or moderate them into a reality check.
Or even simpler:
On the Job, Not on the Job, Retired From the Job,
