He looked to be about 15 years younger than me and 50-60 pounds heavier. I told him and he pulled out his wallet and flipped it open (for about 1.5 second) so I could see some sort of badge. Between the short time it was open and the fuzzy writing (I didn't have my glasses on) I couldn't tell if it was real or if he was just a security guard trying to impress me or if it was an "official" Mickey Mouse deputy sheriff badge or what. We exchanged words, including discussion of riding on the sidewalk, to which I replied was illegal in Georgia, etc. He finally got in his car and drove off.
The strange thing about the situation was we both just passed a "Share the Road" yard sign about 1/2 block back.
Needless to say I was pissed for the next couple of hours.
