This could be the ultimate Florida Man...

If anyone personifies "Florida Man," it's this ditwit.
Fake cop, fake Marine, fake private investigator, been busted over a dozen times for impersonating a cop, and he's a registered sex offender.

Florida man tailed by cops for playing policeman arrested when he pulls over to play cop once again

Florida man with a long criminal history of impersonating law enforcement officers is back in jail this week after he impersonated a law enforcement officer again, WFLA reports.

Thomas Manning Hook, a 48-year-old from central Florida, was arrested Thursday evening after pulling up on the scene of a car accident in a Ford Crown Victoria — a car model often used by police, activating blue, white and red emergency lights and offering to help officers who were already on scene.

The officers declined his offer, and he drove away with lights still flashing. Shortly after, deputies from a different agency rolled up and said they had been pursuing Hook because he was wanted for impersonating a police officer in their county.

But they didn’t need to follow him, because Hook turned back, emergency lights still flashing, and again offered his help at the car accident scene. He showed officers a gold-colored “private investigator badge” and identified himself as a “fugitive recovery agent,” WFLA reports.

He also had a number of cards that identified him as a retired Marine Corps major, clergy member and NRA member. Hook later admitted he was not a Marine or a licensed private investigator.

2. One should NEVER use the word "Ultimate"

when talking about Florida Man. We keep violating the boundaries of sanity, reason, and good taste every day.

3. We may have someone impersonating a cop in my community.

There's a small compact that does drive-thrus in my community. (I won't say the model in case it's valid). It threw on the interior blue lights on me when I was heading out when I came across it on another street. It was stopped on the street that I was about to turn into. I didn't see any valid reason to deviate my path, so I turned in preparing to stop behind it. But, as I approached it, it shut its blue lights off and just proceeded at normal speed.

At the end of the road, I turned on my blinker lights to go right, and then it turned its blinker lights to go left.

If it was a valid police vehicle, this was the second time that a police car threw its lights on in my vicinity, just to shut them off seconds later.

Worse, if it's not a valid police vehicle, then there may be someone in the community who is helping our Association cabal in an improper manner.
