There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

  3. someone who was never a sheriff and never in law enforcement in any capacity whatsoever who found a sheriff knit cap and wears it around everywhere he goes

None of the above.

  1. A person who attempts to deceive others into believing that they are a police officer.

If you want to walk around wearing an Sheriff hat because you like detective movies you're perfectly fine to do that. But if you're not actually in the Sheriff's Dept. don't go around dressed up as them banging on doors yelling "Sheriff open up!" And if people ask you if you're law enforcement tell the truth.
