Talented but over here he could be arrested for impersonator a
police
officer.

You mean your laws are even worse than ours?


Impersonating an officer is a bad law? Sure, whatever you say.
Frankly,
that's one of the smart ones. Otherwise, many would play cop more
often
and lure a victim.

Playing the piano is not impersonating. If he tried to arrest
someone,
THAT'S impersonating. Are you telling me you don't have stripograms
dressed as cops over there?


I'm making the assumption he was wearing the exact same uniform as your
police with the word "police" on the back. That can not fly here
regardless of playing piano or simply walking down the street. People
can wear similar police like uniforms as costumes and your favorite
stripograms. An official looking uniform emulating any city or state
police uniform is not allowed.

Why not? If he doesn't actually try to arrest anyone, no harm done.

Don't talk silly, if it was legal to impersonate a copper there'd be
thousands of scrotes impersonating policemen and you then couldn't tell
who was the real cop. The fake police would also carry a forged ID card
so you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Chaos would ensue.


Looking like one and pretending to be one are not the same thing. If I
dress up as one then someone asks me for something and I say "Sorry I'm
just in fancy dress" - no harm done. But if I pretend to stop motorists
or arrest people, that's wrong.

THAT is exactly what would happen...jeez!


So that guy you linked to was wrongfully impersonating a cop in your opinion? You didn't understand my post at all did you?
