Would this be illegal to wear?

Just curious.

Probably, try putting a tiny 'the' above each 'Police' and just claim you are a massive Sting fan if they try doing you for impersonation

 

[ASC1951]

It is illegal to impersonate a police officer, including wearing a similar uniform. I've never seen Plod in anything like those, so, no.

As above

But why would you go around with the word police on your lycra if you were not in the force?

Drivers would be more careful, I think?

 

[Milo]

Hmm dodgy grounds there I suspect.

Not if you unwittingly cycle into a 'situation'.

Well I wouldn't be going around pulling people over and I don't have any red or blue lights on my bike...

yet.

What kind of situation would that be?

Didn't I see you buying some the other day on Ebay?

Shhh

One where you could get your pretend bacon fried well and truly if certain people thought you were real.

I certainly would not wear it for the reasons stated frankly but do as you wish. It's probably not explicitly illegal but I can imagine some members of the police force may question your reasons for wearing it.

 

[Vapin' Joe]

It would certainly be illegal, just the same as if you put a sign on your car.
