Fake Cops

Despite its ownership woes, the Chicago Sun-Times continues to produce excellent investigative work. Frank Main's and Steve Warmbir's "Bogus Badges: Crooks' New Weapon of Choice" in Sunday's paper is a great example. Their story shows how an increasing number of crooks in the Chicago region are posing as cops to terrorize innocent people. The story is full of vivid examples and offers advice on what to do if you are suspicious about the true identity of someone in uniform.
Full Disclosure: Steve and Frank are two of my favorite people to have lunch with.
