There are certain insignia that provide you with benefits associated with membership or that provide you with advantages because the insignia signifies you accomplished certain acts.
It is imperative that when insignia have a specific meaning or confer benefits, only those with authority wear or display this insignia. As a result, the state of Nevada has actually made the improper use of certain types of insignia a crime.
If you violate laws on the use of insignia, you could face prosecution, be convicted of an offense, be penalized with consequences including potential jail time, and be left with a criminal record that affects your reputation and future opportunities.

Nevada laws on improper use of insignia are found in Nevada Revised Statutes section 205.410. The improper use of insignia is considered a fraud crime, so this statute is found within a subsection of Chapter 205 of Nevada’s penal code that deals specifically with fraud and false personification offenses. Chapter 205, which contains this subsection on fraud offenses, is part of the state’s penal code that criminalizes misconduct involving property.

Nevada Revised Statutes section 205.410 not only details the elements of the offense that a prosecutor would need to prove to secure a conviction for improper use of insignia, but it also establishes the penalties that a defendant will face if convicted of this offense.
According to the relevant statute, a defendant can be convicted of improper use of insignia for willfully wearing the badge, buttons, insigne or rosette of any military order; of any secret order of society; or any similar organization. However, to be convicted, a defendant must have used the badge, button, insignia, or rosette in order to obtain assistance, aid, or any other benefit or advantage. The defendant must also not have been authorized or entitled to wear the insignia, button, logo, or rosette under the U.S. Constitution, bylaws, or rules of the order or society in order for a defendant to be convicted.
If a defendant is found guilty of the offense of improper use of insignia under N.R.S. 205.410, the defendant could face a penalty of a maximum fine of $500.
