Re: Misrepresentation
You mean is it legal to perpetrate a fraud by misrepresenting yourself as a federal agent, for the sole purpose of getting access to property, equipment or information which you are not entitled to or a presently barred from getting? Gee, let me think about that. My guess is that taking this type of action has a few problems associated with it.
