Good idea. Now I have to think of a suitable backronym...

I've seen a chap on a motorcycle commuting into Birmingham with a full hi-viz jacket on and the
word 'POLITE' on the back. He also rides a white BMW, and has a white helmet :-)

Someone I used to know who dressed a bit like that was asked politely by the local police to take
the "POLITE" off the flourescent stripe on his motorbike panniers. They did make it clear that if
it didn't come off they would ask again not-politely.

I think there is an offence of impersonating a Police officer which they'd probably use.

Is your man not in danger of "impersonating a police officer"?

Where do you draw the line on this one ?....

Well, there is no offence of impersonating the front of a police station, so it is easy to draw
the line.

To impersonate a police officer, do you not have to say "I am a police officer"? Otherwise, fancy
dress parties would be illegal.

About two weeks ago there was a gent here that was charged with impersonating a police officer. He'd
"borrowed" a uniform from a mate who was an officer, gone to a fancy dress party, got [censored], walked
half way home and passed out in the gutter/garden/park.

To any passers by it looked like a [censored] policeman, so the courts charged him.
