Generally (because the question is somewhat vague), it means pretending to be someone else during the commission of or with the intent to commit a crime. For example, pretending to be a police officer and stopping someone (unlawful restraint); however, pretending to be a police officer while delivering a stripper-gram would not be criminal as there is no crime committed or intended. It doesn't have to be a police officer, though, it could be a normal person. For example, pretending to be someone else so you can take money out of their bank account, even something as simple as using someone else's ID to buy alcohol.

Does impersonation have the element of a crime if you are NOT trying to be someone by assuming a false identity to unlawfully gain a benefit such as money goods or to avoid being charged for a crime?

If an ordinary person who performs as a comedian-singer-actress and bills herself as a "Madonna impersonator" and gets paid for doing a performance while mimicking Madonna's voice, dress, and mannerisms, this is not a crime. However, if any person takes another identity and tries to bilk people into donating for a cause, or get donated goods from people, it can be criminal impersonation. If you impersonate under the criminal statutes in your State to avoid being arrested for a crime you committed, you would likely be charged with criminal impersonation. *NOTE: Every situation is unique. Consult an attorney for guidance about your own situation, if you need legal help.
