"I considered calling the cops on a DM for impersonating a state officer in a F&G matter. He had no authority and could have none since he wasn't deputized. He can report me to the F&G, but he was putting himself at risk, cuz peace officers are jealous and protective of their powers."
Don't forget about the rights for private citizens to make a "Citizens Arrest" but the law probably changes once you are at sea.
