[OOC: It will be difficult to play while at work today due to moving to a new office down the hall and therefore not being at the computer. Or even, perhaps, having my computer set up for a portion of the day. Therefore, I have help today! Class Info Post.]

"Hello, class!" Tick said from behind his desk. Lockheed was on his normal shelf. "Today we have a special guest: Constable Benton Fraser, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Fandom High Security. He will be speaking of his experiences and views on Justice. So please, have some coffee," Tick motioned to the cups on his desk, "and give Constable Fraser your full attention."

"Impersonating an officer of the law is punishable by both jail time and fines," Fraser says. "It's quite a serious offense considering, most likely, the officer was being impersonated for the wrong reasons."

"Could you define what exactly you mean by wrong reasons?" Callisto asked. "And are there any mitigating circumstances, like, say, temporary insanity?"

"Wrong reasons usually tend to lean towards the person impersonating the officer attempting to gain something from a victim by using the uniform and badge in an intimidating fashion," Fraser explains. "The only mitigating circumstances I can think of that would be excused would be Halloween and possibly temporary insanity."

"Like arresting them for spurious made-up crimes? Altough I suppose that might tie in to the insanity defense."
