WOULD YOU LIKE FRIES WITH THAT?

I don't know about you, but this kind of thing happens to me all the time.  From the Albany Times Union:

Woman who mistook cop for Sonic car hop faces DUI

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. -- A woman who mistook a police officer for a car hop at a Sonic drive-in was charged with DUI and possession of drug paraphernalia. A caller to 911 Saturday reported the woman nearly struck several vehicles before pulling into the drive-in.
     
The Johnson City Press reported Elizabethton Police Officer Sarah Ellison found the woman slumped over the steering wheel. When Ellison tried to get the woman's attention, the woman handed her a $20 bill, continuing to offer it even after she identified herself as an officer.

The woman was arrested and the officer found a syringe, a spoon with white powdery residue and numerous bottles of prescription medicine in the car.

What I want to know is this:  Are they going to arrest that cop for impersonating a Sonic car hop?  If that's not a crime, it ought to be.
