They can’t come through the phone, so I’m gonna go with probably not. But I tend to stop saying dumb s@@@ before I say something the real police are interested in.
The biggest thing to remember here is the IRS knows the public doesn’t like them and being the police doesn’t inoculate from that. The guard doesn’t know the officer isn’t pissed about having his bank accounts levied. My point is to avoid any issues handling this off duty out of uniform is the smart thing to do.
The security guard didn't know. And that's part of the problem. The security guard put the sheriff in danger of receiving great bodily harm or death just in case the sheriff was going to have a verbal altercation with the employee in the future. Or because the sheriff was verbally non-compliant while complying with the security guard.
