Although not the "usual suspects":
BBC News: California trio accused of running rogue police force
"Three people have been charged in California with impersonating law enforcement officers after claiming to operate a police department with jurisdiction in 33 states.
They said they belonged to a group called the Masonic Fraternal Police Department, which they claimed dated back to the Knights Templar.
One of the trio is a junior aide to California's attorney general.
Uniforms, weapons and vehicles were found in premises linked to the group."
I guess with so many areas of overlapping jursdiction with "real" forces, it's surprising this sort of thing doesn't happen more often, although this example seems pretty "wimble" from the information reported.
