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.


Er, no. It falls under the 'impersonation of a police officer' and
you can be arrested for that.

Only if the arresting officer is a pedantic ******.
