Wotcha Gonna Do? (When The RIAA Comes For You)

Slashdot points to a juicy article describing how the RIAA is hiring ex-cops dressed up like real cops to bust street vendors who may or may not be selling copyright-infringing CDs and DVDs. If it looks like a cop, sounds like a cop, and threatens to cuff you like a cop, then it's probably (impersonating) a cop. I wonder what real law enforcement officials think of this.

I thought impersonating an officer is a crime?

Unless you're paying off your local congresscritter.
