Every place I go people automatically assume I am a detective for the police department. I go to a place for lunch they give me the LEO discount, then I have to go back and get them to fix the ticket and charge me the correct price. I go shopping, little gangsters in training give me the stink eye and ask if I am a cop. I just walked into the DMV, got the same look again. It was 10 times worse when I had my impala. GD, how can I not look like a detective??

Get rid of the aviator sunglasses, porn 'stache, CCW badge on your belt, and the dusty Glock open carried in a Fobus holster.  They actually do make those you know. http://www.popguns.com/badge/badge%20images/heavybadge.jpg That's why I mentioned it.

Stop being polite and courteous. For example, don't hold doors, and stop addressing people as "sir", and "ma'am". Don't dress in clean clothes with creases. These types of behaviors, once commonplace, are only expected from LEOs these days.
Oh wait, this is GD... Quit shooting dags and put your EoTech on correctly. No one will think you're a cop anymore.

Hell, I've got the same damn problem, and the last thing I dress like is a law enforcement officer. I think it's the body language, or something else I can't identify. I shaved off my mustache when I retired from the Army because of this, and it still happens regularly.
Latest incident? I'm at Home Depot, in work clothes just having come off a job site, and one of the girls working there comes up and asks me if I'm a cop. I'm looking at her like she's insane, and ask why she'd ask something like that, and her reply was that I "...looked like one...". I want to know just what the hell it is people are looking at to make this determination, and what to do about it. I don't want to be the first person shot just because some idiot criminal takes me for an officer of the law when I'm not... |

Random wings are cool, too, as are tears, names of your dead homies, some random numbers, pretty much anything followed by "FOR LYFE"... you get the idea. |
