Bill Summary
Under current law, a person commits a crime of the fourth degree if he impersonates a law enforcement officer or an employee of a law enforcement agency with the intent to induce another to submit to or rely upon that pretense. Under the provisions of this bill, a person who impersonates a law enforcement officer or employee of a law enforcement agency and who, during the course of that impersonation, commits a crime of the fourth degree or higher is guilty of a crime of the third degree. A crime of third degree is punishable by a fine of up to $15,000, three to five years imprisonment, or both.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to state that a person who impersonates a law enforcement officer or employee and commits a crime of the fourth degree or higher during that impersonation is guilty of a crime of the third degree. A crime of the third degree carries a potential penalty of a fine of up to $15,000, three to five years imprisonment, or both. The existing law already makes it a crime of the fourth degree to falsely pretend to hold a position as a law enforcement officer or employee with the intent to induce someone to submit to or rely on that pretense.
