  1. It's a POLICE (reflector) jacket. Too bad it's all black...but it'd be
    fun to wear in traffic and watch the reactions.

    What would happen if a real cop sees you wearing that?

    She'll arrest you and charge you with impersonating a police officer.

    I have one and so far on a bike I have gotten a few waves accompanied by
    strange looks but nothing more. It is a real CHP jacket since my friends
    father gave it to me before he died of lung failure. (Macho cop + cigs).

    As I said I have one, the real deal, from a now deceased CHP officer and
    have never been called on it. I took the little badge thingies off.

    I'm surprised if it still says "police" on it. In Chicago you can buy used
    leather cop jackets which are great for motorbikes, but if you leave the
    insignia on you WILL get hassled or ticketed.

    A warning would be fair enough in my book.

    :P

    It doesn't say 'Police' on it. I don't think the CHP bike patrol units
    ever did. I don't know and don't care since it is one hell of a good
    jacket, thick, but warm and eats bristle bushes for lunch. I have
    never even managed a tear in it after 15 years. I think the fact that
    they are being worn by California Highway Patrol with bikes and bike
    riding books kind of makes it obvious they are cops.
