Real Cop Stops Fake Cops Responding To a Call

Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio -- An officer was patrolling when they noticed a vehicle run two red lights while traveling at a high rate of speed. A traffic stop was conducted and one of the men admitted to be carrying a firearm on their person. They eventually identified themself as "armed private security" who were responding to a call for an "officer" in "distress". Officers saw "Peace Officer" badges as well as handcuffs. One of the guns was returned as stolen from Birmingham, Alabama. *Officers contemplated charging them with impersonation however never did so.* Further investigation also found that they were using red and white lights while they were responding to the "call". The driver, later identified as Shawn Whitacre, was indicted with the following: Receiving stolen property The passenger, later identified as Dwayne Jordan, was indicted with the following: Improper handling of firearms in a motor vehicle The passenger was determined to not be apart of the security company. They have plead not guilty. Please note: the title of this video should not be taken as fact, is is my interpretation and opinion of the incident. If you think they weren't acting like cops, let me know in the comments. However, based upon my own opinion I believe they were acting like cops (due to the "peace officer" badge, red/white lights, and them stating that they were responding to a call) ⚠️ Footage from this video was obtained via the Ohio Public Records Act (R.C. 149.43) All suspects featured on the channel are to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law ⚠️
