There is a man who has been harrassing the employees at my job, and he has even gone as far as to call and come in impersonating a city fire chief to ask questions and to give advice on "laws" that he thinks we are not following. I am aware of trespassing laws, but is this guy breaking the law by impersonating a city fire chief?? I have tried to research state law but am only able to find laws on "impersonating a peace officer". Does anyone know???
Not sure about MN, but in many states a fire chief is a peace officer.
I would suggest calling or writing to the REAL fire chief in your city and telling him about this nut. Also, contact the police. Even if impersonating a fire chief isn’t a crime where you live, they can probably get this guy to stop harassing you.

a: depends on what type of job you have, you obviously don’t work for the DOJ or Homeland Security, so if it’s Mickey D’s the man isn’t breaking any laws. If he’s trespassing then yes he is.
b: harass him back, if he’s driving to your work get his license plate# and run a search on it for his property address, follow him to his job and return the favor.

No, it isn’t legal anywhere…it is the same as impersonating any peace officer, a nurse, etc. Contact the office of your local Fire Chief and inform them of the goings on and ask their advice.
