#1 So the slow-moving tow-truck driver suddenly finds the gas pedal? Maybe he needs to go to prison, too.

#3 Yup, they'll soak him for a bunch of money, which is what they want anyway, and give him probation.
Probably.

#4 when he saw he was being followed and called police from a gas station to report his vehicle stolen.

Not only was he impersonating a police officer, but he then made a false police report. Great way to double down, Justin!

#5 Under "Lacy's Law"--HB 1003, signed May 25, 2004, allegedly, Davis committed a Class 1 misdemeanor.

HB 1003 was prompted by the 2003 abduction and murder of Lacy Miller, a 20-year-old student at the University of Northern Colorado, by a man impersonating a police officer. The man used flashing red and blue lights to pull Miller over. A 2003 law passed after the murder made police impersonation a class 1 misdemeanor. The law signed today makes impersonating a police officer a class 6 felony, resulting in higher fines and increased jail time for habitual offenders. Also included in the bill is a ban on the possession and use of red or blue police lights by persons not involved in law enforcement. Illegal possession or use of blue or red lights is a class 1 misdemeanor. Source:

The penalty in Colorado for Class 1 Misdemeanor
is:
Minimum: 6 months / 500 dollar fine or both
Maximum: 18 months / 5,000 dollar fine or both

Davis' problem is that any jury hearing this case will remember Lacy's fate in the next county north of Boulder county and will probably
not view his idiotic act with kindness.
