I've got an EMT sticker on the back of my truck that takes care of that 
My friend explained it like this:
EMT: "Remember that time you gave me that speeding ticket?"
Officer who needs help: "yeah"
EMT: "Well I remembered that, so I went 5mph slower than the limit on the way here"
Not that I'd ever do that. Police and EMS have a great working relationship because we know we need each other.

Yes, they will sell them to anyone. But if a cop pulls you over and you cant produce an EMT license, he will probably give you every infraction he can.
However, to my knowledge, there is no actual offense for impersonating an EMT. Unless you wear a badge. That can get you in trouble.

You can catch the next Bout (thats what a roller derby game is called) September 10th at 5:30pm at Freedom Park.
There are other matches with a different league in Ventura, but currently I am with the Ventura County Derby Darlins, who are based out of Camarillo.
