I would part with it, but it belonged to a lifelong mate of mine who is now a Sergeant and will be interested in talking to you regarding "Impersonation of a Police Officer".

Why did you start a thread on a serious subject if you just want to piss around?

Let's face it, the US has changed dramatically in the past 5 years. It scares me, where they seem to be heading.
