This should be decided by department’s high command.
no no
That’s a felony
I mean spooky hats would be one thing, but entirely dressing up is endangers officers and the public. Here’s what will happen: fully decked out LEO exits car and goes off on foot to deal with something, LEO opens fire legally, civilian sees it, thinks officer is a criminal, civilian shoots at officer. Now, if the civ kills the officer in that scenario it would be perfectly lawful, and any arrest resulting from that would be illegal. However, it’s quite arguable the officer firing back at that person and killing them would be negligent homicide or manslaughter. Boom felony conviction lose POST cert.
yes. hats like a witch had should be allowed as citizens will still be able to notice them.
