I'll have my husband check it out... I talked to his friend tonight (the cycly training cop) and he said there is nothing restricted about a Smith and Wesson bike... nothing that would prevent some public person from buying it once the bike has been retired from the department... I asked him if he thought they would take the "badges" (the Smith and Wesson part) off and he said no, no reason to... at the point they strip any police equipment off it's just another bike... he said he'll look at the sight too... he's now a Primal Wear dealer as well so still has lots of contacts...

too bad about people impersonating officers... puts you into a bad position of being unsure who to trust. Really a bummer for the real officers on the dept... as to real officers selling their badges on eBay... I sure as heck hope there are HEAVY and SERIOUS penalties for that!!! That is exactly how someone is able to effectively impersonate a cop and then commit a crime like you mentioned... how disheartening... I'll keep you posted after the guys check it out!
