      As I understand it to be, these guys are off duty and have no guns in their holsters and they’re getting paid by tesla. That’s how it usually works but I bet these cheques are signed by the feds.

        Then they are all impersonation police officers and should be charged with federal crimes.

          Can you impersonate a police officer if you work as one?

            If Pepycito is right, they might be employed as police officers, but they’re not currently working as officers. I’m no expert on US law, so I don’t know if that actually counts as impersonation, but knowing the US it proposal doesn’t matter since it wouldn’t be enforced anyway.

              In the US, they are always cops, on duty or off. That’s why lots of places like hiring them for security. They can instantly arrest people, justified or not, and can often carry a gun where other people are not allowed to.

              We have nothing resembling actual enforcement of law here.

          Where I am, you can hire off duty officers as security. They’re just security guards in a police uniform. Maybe these guys are the new Stasi idk
