Is it robbery or extortion to pretend to be a joint defense officer to catch gambling and whoring? What should be the crime of impersonating the people's police to catch gambling and whoring?

Because the defense team members are not state employees, posing as defense team members for gambling, whoring and extortion should constitute the crime of extortion. In the process of gambling and whoring, for the purpose of illegal possession, using violence, coercion or other methods to forcibly take away public and private property on the spot constitutes robbery.

The people's police belong to the national civil servants, posing as the people's police to catch gambling and whoring, which constitutes the crime of swindling and cheating. If in this process, for the purpose of illegal possession, public and private property is forcibly taken away by violence, coercion or other means on the spot, it constitutes robbery.

Crime of swindling and cheating: refers to the act of cheating by pretending to be the identity or professional title of the staff of state organs in order to seek illegal interests, which damages the prestige of state organs and their normal activities.
