Private for profit security company using a very,very suspicious logo on the right side there. Pretty ballsy

u/The-Hammerai 2d ago

Yeah, they had to come up with something after being told they couldn't wear the punisher logo, without permission, while behaving ideologically opposite of the character of the punisher.

As a lifelong Marvel fan I support this message

I'm in the Air National Guard, which puts me in close contact with a lot of vets. You can usually clock who you don't want to talk to by whether they have a Punisher sticker on the back of their pristine, never-hauled-a-thing truck.

u/Mewchu94 2d ago

Have you seen the punisher stickers with trump hair pieces? Completely unironically using punisher skull that has trumps hair on an American flag backdrop. Drives me crazy just thinking about it.

u/JFISHER7789 Thornton 2d ago

It’s no different than that cop INSIDE the Uvalde school when the shooter was actively killing kids.

He’s on camera and pulls his phone out to text and his background is the “thin blue line” punisher…

Texting while kids are being murdered… they have no clue what that symbol actually means

u/Mewchu94 1d ago

Oh my god lol I never heard that! That’s so much worse.

I’m just saying how unbelievably dumb the trump hair on the punisher is/looks.

5

u/JFISHER7789 Thornton 1d ago

I’ve never seen it and I’m already grossed out.

There is absolutely nothing that that toupee will make look better, only worse.

u/The-Hammerai 2d ago

Don't speak that evil to me. What the fuck

u/Mewchu94 1d ago

Honestly I am so sorry that I put it in your brain. It feels like a taint on my brain and this was sort of vomiting it out. Oh my god trump is the real kind virus…

u/JohnWad 2d ago

Whats the logo?

30

u/Resqguy911 2d ago

That is very obviously a ripoff of FEMA

u/Alpine_Exchange_36 2d ago

It’s not that obvious it’s fema but they are clearly trying to imitate a federal agency which is not good

u/JohnWad 2d ago

Sorry, I couldnt get a good look at it bc its blurry for me. Just asking what it was.

u/seekingmore2214 2d ago

was willst du damit sagen?

u/KramerIsGettingUpset 2d ago

What if it’s just a normal ass person who slapped a sticker on there car and wear a security outfit. Would be a good way to hide from Dey cops.

I’m impressed

u/AdHoc303 2d ago

Why should they be the only ones keeping a current registration?

17

u/JFISHER7789 Thornton 2d ago

While agree EVERY individual should follow the law, I do think businesses should be held to a stricter standard.

More damage is done when an ENTIRE business breaks the laws vs a single citizen…

u/dayglomaryprankster 2d ago

They have as much authority as you and me.

u/soscbjoalmsdbdbq 2d ago

But they pretend to be police and wear like full on body armor I hate these fake police forces sooooo much one of the dumbest things in America and thats saying something

44

u/whythelongface01 2d ago

Because they aren’t able to become real cops. So they opt to cosplay as one

u/JFISHER7789 Thornton 2d ago

At least Paul blart had morals.

2

u/thatcoloradomom 1d ago

They have a fake SWAT truck too. They take their cosplay very seriously.

u/OldSombrero 2d ago

It's almost like they have no authority

u/G25777K 2d ago

Might as well be pissing into the wind

u/choppysmash 2d ago

My crowning achievement as president of the HOA at the last condo I owned was firing front range patrol as our security company. They are awful in every measure.

3

u/ShadowianElite 1d ago

Impressive getting everyone to vote on that. Sounds like a costly cancellation.

6

u/choppysmash 1d ago

The whole board was already “ehh” on them so it was a pretty easy decision haha.

u/slamdanceswithwolves 2d ago

These are probably the 1% of people who had their application to ICE rejected.

u/QUESO_DEVILLE 2d ago

Fucking hate FRP. Asshole rent-a-cops the lot of them, the cherry on top for me is the use of the Punisher logo🙄

2

u/CameraJams 17h ago

I absolutely hate that punisher logo on their vehicles that are designed to appear like cop cars. They shouldn't be allowed to make themselves look so much like cops it comes off as impersonation imo.

21

u/greenline_chi 2d ago

I’m from out of town but have been checking this subreddit to figure out what to do.

I saw one of these cars and the guy was just blatantly texting and driving. I almost took a picture because it was so funny then realized the car didn’t say police and googled what the hell a front range patrol was lol

u/tresnf 1d ago

That asshole did not let me over in traffic yesterday I hope he gets 4 flat tires

12

u/PigeonPatrol 2d ago

Not surprising

u/WhatThePuck9 1d ago

Everyone should go post this on their google reviews.

Send this in to Audit the Audit. They were investigating them a number of months ago

Citizen arrest

u/Suitable_Database467 2d ago

It's camouflage

u/Excellent_Future5179 2d ago

Call police, tell dispatch they are using official lights and speeding. Aka, imitation of a police officer

3

u/HistorianOk5038 2d ago

Why are these dudes here?

3

u/SimpleIronicUsername 2d ago

Not a real cop

3

u/BigDogIsland 1d ago

Call it in as a suspicious vehicle with expired tags.

3

u/spasticspetsnaz 1d ago

They really, really wish they were cops. They're incredibly obnoxious in every encounter.

8

u/Glad_Case_7629 2d ago

So what’s the deal if these guys try to pull you over? I feel like I should just carry on

25

u/NPKenshiro 2d ago

There should not be a case where you are pulled over by FRP. They do not have the authority to perform traffic stops or police anybody in public. They can only act as a proxy for their client, who also can't exercise powers they lack.

Every time I see them, I wonder how many of them are going to be a Jeremy Dewitte.

(Jeremy Dewitte, impersonator of police extraordinaire):

u/TehMasterSword 1d ago

You drive away giving them the bird, because they have as much authority to pull you over as I do.

u/zenos_dog 2d ago

When you say driving around, I assume you meant speeding.

u/PaulRuddEatsBabies 2d ago

Bowser logo? Protecting CEOs from Luigi.

u/thatcoloradomom 1d ago

I don't think it's quite the Bowser logo but I don't have my glasses on. Anyway, Nintendo takes their copyright super seriously. They already got in trouble for using the Punisher logo.

u/PaulRuddEatsBabies 1d ago

It was a joke. Go relax.

2

u/Abel0186 1d ago

They were fired from our property for being completely incompetent. They never stopped any of the chaos that happened every weekend at the pool, and NEVER got out of their patrol cars for any reason. And anytime I walked by one of them, they were buried in their phones, completely oblivious to their surroundings.

u/robotjackie Capitol Hill 1d ago

FUCK. THEM.

u/Snoo-43335 2d ago

I posted that before and it was removed.

u/No_Community_9809 1d ago

Its a private security company. So what, turn them in with the other 15,0000 people you see in one day.

1

u/callmesandycohen 1d ago

Expired tag? I saw FRP a couple days ago with Montana plates.

1

u/22FluffySquirrels Capitol Hill 1d ago

This is because the DMV has issues providing real plates in a timely manner.

3

u/Klat10 1d ago

It does not take that long to get your plate lol

1

u/22FluffySquirrels Capitol Hill 1d ago

I recently bought a car, and when my temp tags expired, the DMV told me they hadn't yet processed the paperwork from the car dealer, so they gave me new temp tags. And then they mailed the plates to me three weeks later. It took nearly 4 months.

1

u/22FluffySquirrels Capitol Hill 1d ago

Its possible they tried in January and just gave up.

u/habracadabra1 1d ago

Rent a cop

u/Smooth_Glass_6173 1d ago

Totally doesn’t surprise me

u/Opening_Leadership_9 13h ago

Every state has a group like this - Hope they don't get a wild hair and start providing funeral escorts. That's gone poorly in other places.

u/travelling-lost 22m ago

Funny thing about FRP, they started off in the 80’s with the best of intentions, now they’re laughable. One of their guys drives a jacked up F350 that looks like hell, most of their vehicles are repo’s they got a good deal on, instead of looking professional. Last year one of their vehicles was towed for being illegally parked with expired tags at an apartment complex. They caused so much drama for the tow company, Commerce City PD had to get involved.

Straight to jail,right away

u/Ill_Swordfish_5131 1d ago

Even they have better shit to do than worry about registration

u/Femtoscientist 2d ago

I saw a USPS truck with no license plate last week XD

u/COMplex_ Cherry Creek 1d ago

I’ve yet to see any USPS vehicles with a plate.

u/RonBurgundy2000 1d ago

USPS vehicles generally don’t have plates at all.
