I am not going to argue about some silly no call list, however, I was trained by State Troopers over what I could and could not do. My understanding, from the officers were, that if one party *actually* believes you are an officer and you are not, you are possibly committing a crime. By phone or in person. By doing so over the phone, you are possibly breaking federal laws as well...

I dont even think the call is real, but impersonating an officer, and "detaining them" by "forcing them to stay on the phone" after they wish to get their supervisor, I promise you is treading into impersonation grounds. a No call list has zero to do with the discussion.
