[QUOTE]Originally posted by Rain Man:
[B] Here's the lowdown as far as nonmembers perping:

"It is ILLEGAL for nonmembers to wear copyrighted 'nalia (items with the crest or badge on it).". . ."Don't let idolatry get you a criminal record and time in jail or prison"

Please don't take this the wrong way; but, I do have a question regarding this statement. It is my understanding that copywrite violation is a federal offense, does this mean that if a non-member wears a badge or crest that the FBI is going to show up on the door. While it may be wrong, I really don't think that law enforcement or the criminal court system is going to pursue this-especially in the light that the court system is really backed up.

Please don't get me wrong, I don't like the idea of anyone wearing my GLO's badge...infact I take offense if they did..I just don't think it is a criminal offense punishable by prision time. Please correct me if I am wrong.
