!Tropes:
* BadgeGag: The badge is real, it's just that Phoebe isn't a cop. She uses it to cow people into doing what she says (like getting a woman to apologize to a tree for putting out her cigarette on its trunk).
* DrunkWithPower: Phoebe invokes the trope by name when discussing her usage of the badge with the friends and how she's able to get people to do what she wants.
* MeetCute: Phoebe ends up meeting the policeman that the badge belongs to. Instead of getting arrested, she starts dating him.
* ShoutOut: Phoebe tries to claim that she knows another cop called Sipowicz, a character from ''Series/NYPDBlue''.
