Serial Cop Impersonator Strikes Again

[00:01] Not turning the desk light on for this one. I really have found a big fascination with all of these fake cop videos. I thought this rabbit hole would only be like a night, maybe two nights of fixation and then I'd forget about

[00:14] it. You know, I'm done playing with that toy Toy Story type [ __ ] But no, man. I am captivated by all the body cams of these cop lararpers trying to convince

[00:26] pretending to be an officer impersonating authority or that they actually are the authority and they have the grounds to like make arrests and stuff. It has been so interesting just

[00:41] stuff. It has been so interesting just like the highest risk laring. I have no badge and I must lar. They can't help themselves. And one thing I've noticed is throughout all this, it's never just one time. It's like a laz potato chip

[00:53] where you can't just have one. They don't just do it once. These fake cops make like a pseudo career out of pretending to be police officers. They treat it like a full-time job, but they get no pay, no respect, and risk going

[01:07] to jail for it. It's incomprehensible, yet unbelievably entertaining. So, I just watched one the other night on stream about a guy named Jonathan. And

[01:19] stream about a guy named Jonathan. And let me tell you, Big Jay, this guy, he let me tell you, Big Jay, this guy, he is an unstoppable force of cop lararing. is an unstoppable force of cop lararing. Like, he has an entire fleet of police

[01:32] vehicles and such. >> 23-year-old Jonathan Becker green uniform shirt with patches similar to Indiana law enforcement attire. Wait, really? They k it out like that in the in the green. The neon?

[02:00] activated his white and amber emergency lights, signaling what appeared to be a traffic stop. In response, the sergeant pulled over, [music] but Jonathan continued driving, turned off the lights, and was later seen in another

[02:13] construction area with workers dressed in similar attire. in similar attire. >> What the Wait, damn. Jonathan's in deep. force, though. Have we Have we thought of this? Have we cross referenced?

[02:55] >> Yeah, cuz you flew past me going 80 miles hour in a post. >> Okay. So, he's the hall monitor, which means he is two steps above the simple police officers.

[03:08] officers. And you've just been busted, buster. let's get the seals in. >> How do I know you're not on your way to >> Yep. You put it on to come talk to me. Correct.

[03:21] >> You knew this before I just started talking to you. What was going on? >> Okay. Lights that are right in the front that are strobing. Oops. So now now you >> Uhoh. Uhoh. >> Understand the accent. So you check

[03:36] >> Which one? >> I'm asking you. I'm asking you what you Okay. >> I'll talk to somebody else. >> Have you ever been arrested? >> I'll I'll I'll talk to somebody else.

[03:48] >> I I I have plenty of guys that work cops guys. >> This guy owns this business. He looks like he's like 20. Damn, bro. That's pretty impressive. And then you flushed it down the [ __ ] to

[04:02] then you flushed it down the [ __ ] to LAR as an officer. What a shame. >> They already said he's 23. Oh, 23. >> That's all it is. It's not like I'm It's not like >> I must have missed him saying that.

[04:15] >> He saw me on. >> It was also discovered John was on probation for unlawful display of emergency lights on a vehicle. have those. >> Oh, somebody else on probation. Yep.

[04:28] >> Hancock County. >> You already know the answer. question. >> Sir, who happens to be working? >> Okay. So, don't give me a hard time when you're on probation for something

[04:43] >> Okay. >> Yeah. You just went too far knocking on on. >> You're lucky I don't tow it, which is gatling guns out. He's got that [ __ ] decked out like it's the Batmobile. What

[05:12] But you said you're in CO investigation. >> Co investigation. >> We do. I'll tell you what I do for a living. America. >> I'm [laughter] investigating CO. It's [ __ ] like Need for Speed.

[05:27] We've got a We got a CO tip. I'm I'm moving in. We're going loud. >> Get the Lysol. >> I don't go after CO violators. Okay.

[05:45] playing cop. Did it again a year later. >> I wasn't even here. We go after. >> Are they together? >> All right. I kind of want to see the sequel now. It seems like this is already kaput here. Jonathan's kind of

[05:57] just getting [ __ ] steamed. >> Using resembled a fake Indiana State Police vehicle. The investigation happened as the sergeant reviewed footage from August 2022 recorded during the funeral procession of an Lwood

[06:12] police officer killed in the line of duty. Amid the procession of police vehicles flashing emergency lights, one vehicle stood out. A car operated by John, equipped with red and white emergency lights bearing a license plate

[06:26] that read Indiana traffic operation. >> All right, this guy's actually insane. This guy's like legitimately a lunatic. Bro thinks he's part of the team. This is like a This is a step beyond that. So now he's just forcing himself into like

[06:38] the funeral procession for a a slain officer in part of like the motorcade. officer in part of like the motorcade. Holy [ __ ] He's turbo lararping.

[06:50] now. He's just did he's getting involved. learn that Jon made his day-to-day activities well known to the world.

[07:02] Police discovered numerous photos on his public [music] Facebook profile, showing him dressed in attire similar to law enforcement uniforms. His bio listed him as the owner of Indiana Traffic Operations LLC since September 2022.

[07:17] >> He later removed this information. Among the posts on his [music] page was a photo of John changing a flat tire. But what drew attention was his utility belt, which >> was his hairline. What the [ __ ] did he

[07:29] get on Minoxidil or something? cuz it looked like he had significantly more hair in the interaction we saw. Man hit a regiment. Got that [ __ ] Roane lights. >> How does he afford all this?

[07:44] >> IMPD police badge was visible. While these badges were never publicly available, they could be acquired by retiring officers. Following the Jon appeared to change his Tik Tok [music] username where Jon was standing

[07:58] in a public roadway directing or possibly obstructing traffic despite there being no apparent reason for his presence there. In addition, police just helping. He's a good Samaritan. >> Bio stated he was the owner of a page

[08:11] called Law Enforcements. The account featured over 2,000 posts displaying law >> This has to be like a fetish. It has to be a fetish. Well, like what? 2,000 posts just

[08:26] showing law enforcement vehicles. Look at the Heiney on this one. Holy Look at the Heiney on this one. Holy [ __ ] dude. [ __ ] bust.

[08:38] caught again. However, he had participated in the IMPD's Explorer program as a high school student in 2016, a detail confirmed by old YouTube videos on his channel along with other law enforcement related.

[08:53] >> That's when he got the itch that his interactions with real police officers with state police style decals, carried a firearm on the passenger seat and [laughter] tools associated with emergency responders. When officers ask

[09:05] >> and now let's look at the stats. How much safer were the areas that Jon was working? Like, let's look at the the crime statistics. They plummeted to zero once Jon started laring. They couldn't take the chance of [ __ ] with a beast

[09:20] take the chance of [ __ ] with a beast like him. This man is the law. >> From another agency, showing Jon arriving at an accident scene before first responders. [laughter] He blocked the lane of traffic and walked freely

[09:32] among injured parties, police officers, and firefighters. [music] At one gation also revealed Jon had owned 22 vehicle titles, most of which were police models, only four were active at the time of the inquiry. Based on several of

[09:46] these factors, the investigating sergeant who was initially held over by John concluded that John had falsely portrayed himself as a law enforcement >> Bro, just why does he why doesn't he just like try and become a cop? Just

[10:00] apply. Like he he probably like he'd probably make it, right? or did he already try and fail? You what's the point in the LAR at this point? He's made it his entire [ __ ]

[10:13] life. Just just try and get the job, I guess. >> 2023, the state of Indiana. >> He has a criminal record now. >> Well, I guess now. Yeah. I just mean like before doing was established and a

[10:25] warrant for John's arrest was issued. The following [music] day, records show The following [music] day, records show that Jon had been taken. Holy Toledo. cam. >> A level six felony offense.

[10:39] >> Received a class C infraction for operating a motor vehicle with And he was released a few days later on a $250 cash bond, but proudly showcased on his cash bond, but proudly showcased on his Tik Tok page shortly before the arrest.

[10:53] I think the ship has sailed, but why didn't he just apply to be a police >> Bro, that's what I said. >> Code blue. That's crazy. That's what I >> Code blue. That's crazy. That's what I said. It makes no sense. What is it? I'm

[11:05] from. He has to just come from wealthy parents cuz he does have like a [ __ ] fleet of vehicles and all of them are equipped with like pretty like pretty

[11:17] expensive accutraants. Like there is like and he's 23. Like there's no way especially when his business is like directing traffic. Well, what he claims is directing traffic or what he claims is his

[11:32] his parents. Like his parents are like, "Oh, John. Yeah, here you can go get [ __ ] 25 more police cars. Just leave me alone."

[11:47] no way. No way is he wearing a toupe in the sequel. Like just like honestly, I always feel for people with hairline like that. That's That sucks. Out of your control. But you have to know when it's just time

[12:01] to to let let it go and just shave it. Toupe is not the move. Toupe is not the sequel. He got caught playing cop then did it again one year later. Holy [ __ ] He's not wearing a toupe.

[12:16] not wearing a toupe. He He used deaging technology. Yeah. No, he Uhuh. He he just he hopped in the uh in the like a time vortex,

[12:28] reset his age. He was following Brian Johnson's protocol, so he regrrew all his hair. A white Ford pickup was spotted parked in the middle of a construction zone in downtown Indianapolis. The truck had amber and

[12:41] white lights activated along with a spotlight displaying red and white flashing lights resembling those used by police. A man was seen entering and exiting the truck several times to stop traffic. He wore a reflected [music]

[12:54] guns task force who had been surveilling the vehicle using prior records and photographs. [laughter] After comparing the man's appearance the images on file, he confirmed the individual's identity and relayed the information to uniform

[13:07] >> The man allegedly posing as an officer was 24y old Becker. >> Wow. The hair's looking good though. I would The hair's looking good though. I would like had I not seen John at 23, I

[13:21] wouldn't I would not have known that's a toupe. The toupe tech has been like really evolved. They've elevated it over the >> Already under indictment for

[13:34] >> maybe hair transplant. Uh, I don't think a hair transplant would give you results from this to this in a year. Unless he like scalped someone and just I don't know grafted their like head

[13:51] like the top of their head to his. Like I feel like it takes a lot more time than that. because that's like a very like slow because that's like a very like slow overtime process.

[14:08] Got his hair from a retired [laughter] cop. >> You're not the police. So guess what? Not prequel. This was just episode one.

[14:20] Not prequel. This was just episode one. >> I will not be lectured. Okay. >> We don't want a strong gust coming through and blowing that puppy off the

[14:33] >> Hey, can we get out of the road? >> Yeah. >> Detectives removed his Glock 17 and discovered it loaded with a full magazine and one round in the chamber. >> Yeah, of course, man. That's in case

[14:45] [ __ ] gets hairy out there while directing traffic in front of the Dollar >> One in the >> take your radio stuff off you. All >> Don't take his radio off. You're disconnecting him from the main frame.

[14:58] >> Just hold on, dude. We'll get all >> for for imperson >> No, I haven't. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Okay. If you're on bond, you can't have

[15:10] >> We'll see. He looks a little He looks a little animated right now talking. So, I can't wait to meet him. Have fun. >> Yep. I'll see you. Bye. have a little meet and greet with John. He's a legend.

[15:28] if you're under indictment, you can't have a firearm on you. >> Well, your attorney doesn't make the laws, though. It's a problem, right? >> I wonder if he actually has something from his attorney saying like, "Yeah,

[15:41] still laring as a police officer directing traffic if you'd like." I that. He's like, "Oh my god, I can't stand you, Jonathan. Yeah, you can have a gun, man. Just [ __ ] leave me alone." like a police notebook that says

[15:54] [laughter] in there. The state police. >> Okay. So, what's the process? >> Go to Manning County. And then >> you've probably never heard of him. >> I'm pretty sure it's I'm pretty sure it's hand.

[16:07] arrest for a level six felony right now. >> I don't have any cases. that felony, you cannot carry a firearm. >> Uh there's a few things. >> Magazine in there. There's like >> Who's going to keep the street safe

[16:20] that. >> What's he supposed to use? A baton. >> Soccer boppers. Like what's he Come on. >> Okay. So, can I will I have to bond out >> you're going have to wait till you get the Where is it? Hancock or Hamilton?

[16:33] >> Oh, look how flexible he is. >> You want to sit down so you can do it >> No, my other guy. >> Hey, send me your tape, man. Let's see your resume? >> Let me see some of your athletic moves.

[16:47] So all the guys know me up in Lawrence and they were like they you know he brought he radioed it in and I was like I was like hey man I'm I'm going to I was like hey man I'm I'm going to leave cuz I don't

[16:59] >> Yeah cuz I did funeral sports >> every now and then. But >> was that Jeremy? They just flash up a little Jeremy. Uh oh. So, I thought that was a one-time thing

[17:14] with the funeral escort. He's he's making it sound like he actively does that. Wow. [laughter] The Chiefs. It's like he was It's like he wasn't even inspired by cops. He was

[17:26] inspired by Jeremy Dit. Like he was just pound-forpound play for Like he was just pound-forpound play for play doing Jeremy Dit again. Like I don't even know if he likes cops or anything like laring as cops. I think he

[17:39] is laring as Jeremy Dit. What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] That's so interesting. That's so interesting. That's his mentor. Yeah, I guess so.

[17:52] Third vid coming soon. I wouldn't be surprised if there's one thing I've learned about this is that it is like a habitual thing. Like they just like habitual thing. Like they just like almost can't help but do it.

[18:05] matter of time. I don't know if he's like in jail for any like significant amount of time, but I think it's very clear that there is just something here they can't shake. They have to go out there and LAR.

[18:19] All of these fake cop larars have made it like their entire life playing pretend officer. Why not just RP as a cop on like a GTA online server? Uh, you probably don't get the same thrill.

[18:35] feeling of authority over others and power would be my guess. What do you think motivates all the cop larpers? I think someone in chat kind of summed it up best that it is that feeling of authority like having that position of

[18:50] power. I I think that's got to be the root cause of it. Like what's make what makes it so enticing? So then why not apply to be an why not apply to be a cop?

[19:05] See, I haven't figured that part out. Yeah, that one's still the missing link. I I haven't figured that out. So like the last guy we watched, he said that he applied to be an officer and that he passed, which I imagine was again a lie.

[19:17] But like this guy, I don't know why he wouldn't have just applied. And I'm sure had a record of him doing so and they would have said so by now across the numerous times he's been caught doing this. So, I truly don't know. He has

[19:31] that YouTube video of him at like a cop academy like a like a little like I don't know it was like a high school field trip or some [ __ ] which is clearly obsession. But I don't know why he wouldn't have just applied cuz then he

[19:45] might get shot at. Yeah, but that would happen during the LAR too. In fact, I would argue it's far more likely to have happened during the laring because the second someone gets a whiff that you're not a real officer, shit's going to pop

[19:57] you're pulling me over and you're not even an officer and then he's going to get real nasty. So, I think the risk is probably elevated for cop larping. Probably thinks he can do a better job than them. That's an interesting theory.

[20:13] I kind of like that notion. I can't I can't debase myself being an official officer. Too much red tape. I got to get this [ __ ] done off book effectively.

[20:25] this [ __ ] done off book effectively. Then the little whistle with the amber lights. Maybe it's I think the main reason why is because he cop, not the boring parts like the paperwork and reports. I guess that's

[20:39] possible. It's like Batman wanting to fix Gotham and then just directing traffic. Okay, don't don't sell Jonathan short. not only directs traffic, he also does funeral possession. Funeral possessions

[20:53] as well for fallen officers where he just kind of includes himself in it. He does that, too. Maybe he thinks he can just suddenly be a cop if he fakes it enough. No, I don't think any of them actually think that. I

[21:08] don't think there's anyone out there that thinks cops work like being a cop would work that way. They just scout you. Oh, look at this guy. He's doing such a good job pretending to be a cop. Holy [ __ ] Is that Is that the John

[21:20] Becker five-star police academy recruit? Look at the way he effortly directs traffic with a Teimu gear. Bro, we got to get him on the force. Holy [ __ ] to get him on the force. Holy [ __ ] dude. Give him a max contract.
