I have serious doubts that his badge number is 4567. It also seemed like he had to check what his name was (looked down at his vest and paused), so who knows if he was honest about that, too.
When I worked at a commercial alarm company as a monitor, we were told to only give out an operator number and not a name when we dealt with any form of law enforcement on the phone. The reason was that if they subpoenaed “operator 29,” one of our designated people would go in and read off our notes. Remember: this was just for an alarm company. The government’s own stormtrooper division has a lot more incentive to provide bullshit credentials.
At least this dude had his badge out and gave his name and number.
