How on earth does it take that long for the police to realise that they are patrolling with a 14 year old in uniform?
A 14-year-old wannabe policeman duped cops in Chicago for hours when he donned a uniform, walked into a police station, then patrolled in a squad car.
The boy did not have a gun, never issued any tickets and did not drive the squad car, deputy superintendent Daniel Dugan said.
Assistant superintendent James Jackson said the ruse was discovered only after the boy's five-hour patrol with an actual officer ended on Saturday... officers noticed his uniform lacked a star that was part of the regulation uniform.
Red-faced senior officers said they were investigating how the deception went undetected for so long in what they described as a serious security breach.
They did not identify the boy, who has been charged as a juvenile with impersonating an officer.
Mr Dugan said the boy looked older than 14 and was motivated by a desire to be an officer, not malice or "ill intent".
The boy once took part in a Chicago programme for youth interested in policing, so he would have been familiar with some procedures, perhaps helping him blend in, police spokeswoman Monique Bond said.

Could never happen in this country ~ an ambitious person pretending to be something he wasn't. Has some knowledge of sums and thinking he can fool people into believing he was a Chancellor of the Exchequer ~ or even funnier a Prime Minister.

Don't be daft hound, the average 14 year old is probably better at maths than the current cabinet.

It their skill at economics that worries me not their maths ability.
BTW 14 year olds seem to be bred a lot larger today than when I was lad. So it probably not surprising he got away with the deception.

I know my 12 yr old is taller than me and could pass for way beyond her years which is very scary.
