So this morning, on my way to work I went and stopped at the convenience store, after I pulled out of the store, I have about 4 miles until I reach my office. After parking my car, there was a truck pulled up almost behind my car, not in a spot, but basically in the through way of the parking lot. A man gets out of his truck, says he is a Fire Marshal (of the town I work in) and as a courtesy he was telling me that I was speeding down the road I just got off of. I said okay, thank you. I was totally taken off guard and so when he asked if I had my license, I said of course and then he asked if he could see it. Not thinking because 1. I am trying to get into work, 2. Off guard because this is a fire marshal not a police officer, I did give him my license. He went into his truck for a minute, then comes back and say "please slow down," gives me my license and gets back into his truck and leaves.

Afterwards, I was angry at myself for not asking the man what he needs my license for and for not paying attention to his truck to figure out what fire house he is from. He was wearing a blue uniform with a patch on the shoulder with the symbol relating to fire departments. Anyway, anyone know if this is something they legally can do? I do know, he asked to see my license and I did give it to him, so that is totally on me. But I feel like since he went into his truck he took a picture of it or something and I also feel like he abused his power because I have no idea what he can and cannot do as a fire marshal, didn't give me his name or show me anything, and took advantage of me not knowing my rights. Maybe I am just naive about the subject? 

**Update: I called the non emergency number and spoke to the operator, they then informed me if this ever happens again about I have the right to ask for their badge number, their name, call the police to ensure they are in fact someone, etc. and not so much lectured me more of informed me and next time to make sure I do x,y, and z. Then they directed me to the town's fire marshal's office. 

I talked to first the operator then someone in the office, who now is calling the chief of the battalion to see if they know anyone matching my description, see if anyone ran my plates, see if anyone was in the area during that time. So either the chief or this woman will get back to me about it. 

Apparently some fire marshals do have police power, but until the identify the individual they won't know. Then from there if they do, did they follow procedure because they never identified themselves past being a fire marshal, did not have a badge or name identification on their shirt. So lots of up in the air on this. The woman also gave me similiar information on my rights and such, which I appreciate.

They probably all think I am an idiot because I did not ask these questions, did not observe everything they asked me, etc. Best case scenario, this guy has police powers, but fucked up the procedure and now I know. Then worst case scenario he is impersonating a fire marshal and now he has a lot of my info :x. Didn't even have my coffee yet at this point so was so not on my A game.
