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 establish that a person who impersonates a law enforcement officer or employee and, during that impersonation, commits a crime of the fourth degree or higher, is guilty of a crime of the third degree. A third-degree crime carries a penalty of up to $15,000 in fines, three to five years of imprisonment, or both. This change to the law aims to impose harsher penalties on those who impersonate law enforcement and then go on to commit additional criminal acts.
