Best Answer

Whether or not a person who impersonates a police officer will serve time in jail, depends on the state and the circumstances of the impersonation. For example, a person who dresses up like a police officer for whatever reason, probably won't get much if any jail time. However, if that person not only dresses like a police officer, but attempts to act like one by stopping cars, making arrests, etc., that person will undoubtedly be dealt with harshly.

Well, you can't... unless you commited fraud. If you stole their identity {fraud}, then you can go to jail for 5+ years. But last time I looked, there were HUNDREDS of Britany Spears and other celebrity pages online.
