Moreoever, even hinting that you were a prosecutor for the purposes of, say, getting out of a speeding ticket was grounds for termination. Not to say that some didn't do it anyway, but the problem starts at the top. If the boss doesn't take a strong stand against the misuse of badges, the privilege is going to be abused.
