The Honest Police Impersonator | Investigation of Daniel Gomez

From the report of Officer Lee Sahs, lightly edited for clarity and brevity:
On February 23, 2018, at approximately 10:09 a.m., I responded to Vedder Lane in reference to a suspicious incident. Upon arrival contact was made with complainant Sila Battaggia Lopez who provided the following in a sworn written statement:
Battaggia Lopez stated that at approximately 9:00 a.m., his golden retriever had gotten out of his garage and ran off toward DeHaven Street and Randal Park Blvd. Battaggia Lopez stated that he got into his vehicle and drove off to bring the dog home when a gray GMC pickup truck did a U-turn and pulled up next to him. The driver of the vehicle - an unknown white male possibly in his thirties - then identified himself as a police officer and showed him a police badge in an aggressive manner, stating that his dog is always running free and threatening to kill his dog. The truck then sped off and parked behind a nearby residence.
Battaggia Lopez followed the truck and was able to take a picture of its license plate. He then called the police, because he wasn't sure if the male was a real police officer.
A check of the vehicle tag that Battaggia Lopez provided came back to a Daniel Gomez, just a few residences down the street. Contact was made with Gomez, as seen in this video.
The Office of the State Attorney ultimately charged Daniel Gomez with one count misdemeanor unlawful use of police badge or indicia of authority, Florida Statutes 843.085. Lopez pleaded no contest to the charge, and adjudication was withheld, with fines and fees due in the amount of $436.82.

I dont think he said hed kill the dog. Obviously its clearly speculation.

The officer did his job, exactly what he was paid to do just like EVERY SINGLE OTHER OFFICER. THATS THEIR JOB. So your congratulating and officer because he did his job? Well then why don’t you do the same for EVERY SINGLE PERSON that does their job? Police officers CHOOSE to do their job, no one forces them. But people need to congratulate them ? That makes zero sense specially officers that whine and complain they have a hard job, then quit. YOU SIGNED UP for what you do and can easily leave, so it’s obviously not as hard as the babies that whine try and act like it is because if it really was they would quit just like they did when they used to work at McDonald’s was too hard, they quit and now got a job where they ride around all day and get to be nosey and be in ALL THE ACTION.

Now I understand that if everytime a citizen calls the police pissed and says someone else did this, but life is not like that. The Officer that gave him the badge, what the hell just to carry, why? For what purpose other than to say he is an Officer when and if he choses. I don't care if he says he was going to turn himself in, BS. He was honest because he appears to be a smart guy and knows that with probable cause they can search his vehicle and home for the badge and if they also find the firearm they will have to run it as well. And what really irritates me more than anything is if you are not trying to act like and officer why does he keep saying 10-4. No normal citizen does that. He has so called friends or aquaintances and he thinks that that badge in certain situations might boost his ego and he got busted. If he had not got busted he would have done it again.
