A boggart, from my memory of Celtic myths and legends, is a quite mischievous household sprite, often accused of taking things that people lose. If you ask it nicely it may put them back. It also helps to protect your house from evil, and a house without a boggart is an empty house indeed. My wife tells me there is a similar being in Russian mythology. In Harry Potter a boggart is that thing that becomes what you most fear. Neither of these definitions identify with the sentence you are trying to use, so I can only assume it refers to Humphrey Bogart and how he might have pushed his way into somewhere, with a quick flash of his badge.

"Etymology: American English slang origin, from actor Humphrey Bogart. Senses of selfishness and excess evolved from the original 1960’s use meaning “keep a joint in the mouth instead of passing it on”, recalling the actor’s signature practice of constantly keeping a cigarette dangling out of his mouth, even while talking. Other senses of “bullying” or “tough guy” also originated in the 1960’s and recall the actor’s various movie roles. See also etymology of the surname Bogart (from Dutch, meaning “keeper of an orchard”)." "Noun bogart (plural bogarts) 1. (slang, also Bogart drag) A very long inhalation of smoke, particularly marijuana. He took a huge bogart from the joint before finally passing it on. 2. (slang) Excess. There are over two dozen related terms for station? What a bogart! 3. (slang) One given to excess, whether good or ill. Smith is the writer, director, star and producer. What a bogart! 4. (slang) An obnoxious, selfish and overbearing person; an attention hog. He walked in, swiped my beer off the table and chugged it. I said “Dude, don’t be a bogart”, but he didn’t care. 5. (slang) A disappointment. Then right in the middle of their best song, the power went out? That’s a bogart. 6. (slang) The first cup of brewed coffee collected from under the coffee filter. Also, a cup of very strong coffee… much the same as espresso. Would you like a cup of bogart now or would you rather wait for the coffee to finish brewing?" "Verb to bogart (third-person singular simple present bogarts, present participle bogarting, simple past and past participle bogarted) 1. (slang) To selfishly take or keep something; to hog; especially to hold a joint (marijuana) dangling between the lips instead of passing it on. Dude, don’t bogart the chocolate fudge!

"References An early, prominent use of the term in reference to hogging a joint (marijuana cigarette) appeared in the lyrics of the song “Don’t Bogart Me” by the American band Fraternity of Man. The song was released on LP in 1968, and subsequently used in the 1969 film Easy Rider. In 1978, Little Feat's widely celebrated live album Waiting For Columbus included a song entitled "Don't Bogart That Joint.""
