    So, if you really are there illegally, would it be better to claim you’re a police office and have a fake badge, and see if that’s enough to get them to walk away?

    You’d be gambling that it was a random stop and not a properly targetted one, which seems like the odds are in your favor?

    You’d be impersonating a cop, which itself is a crime, but if they’re going to throw you out of the country anyway how much worse is that? Would they really imprison you vs throw you out if thats as far as you went?
