Some legal experts say Jason Watson’s confinement for 24 hours a day could amount to illegal pretrial punishment.

    I don’t think every interaction between military personelle involves checking one anothers paperwork. As I said it basically like currency. Why would somone want to make a duplicate of a police badge. Well that would be to pretend to be a policeman. why would someone duplicate some rank insignia. well to pretend to be someone in the particular thing at that particular rank.

      I think we may be talking past each other.

      People fake money, because then they can spend more money than they have.

      There really aren’t any benefits to faking being in the military of a certain rank.

      People WILL check you paperwork in the military, when you show up. I’m not going to just do whatever some random Lt Col tells me, unless I KNOW who they are.

      It’s like being in school. Your teacher expects certain students to be there. If they see someone they don’t know, they find out why.

      There is literally no reason to protect insignia from being produced by whomever. It holds no value by itself.

        yeah all the same on any particular day a substitute can show up and none of the students are going to check credentials. I get it but im sure there is some scenario where someone might try. I get it though. Its pretty far fetched and not worth it for them to bother. Still I don’t feel its to far fetched for them deciding to have an exclusize thing with it like with the camo.

          Totally, if someone really wants to, they can, but it would be hard to do anything useful with it. And the school example was meant to be something relatable to you, since most people have been to a school, but haven’t been in the military.

          It is more rigorous in the military. People DO ask if someone new shows up without a sponsor.

          Also, to even get on a military base, you have to have a military ID.

          Doing it in public though? Super easy.
