This really is not my style but ......

Far as I know, tis NOT illeagal to wear something that says "POLICE".
Having the blue lights and attempting to affect a motorist stop will get you a visit in the cross-bar hotel.

I wouldn't want the lights to stop anybody, just to get them to move out of my way.

Good to see you be back. Come see my new little "going to ride Moab" toy that moved in just today.

In the US I do not know - but here and (in my day) it was in the UK. It is "Impersonating a Police Officer". The place I bought my Halvarrsons Jacket had a "Police" over jacket in the shop. But he showed me the label riveted on the inside. Basically it said SHOW ONLY : ILLEGAL FOR SALE IN "----------------------------------------". Halvarssons were making a big deal then of supplying various police forces with full CE2 grade riding gear.

That looks like @EasTexRIII 's next cycling gear outfit.
Is that a performance aid or a sign of Zeus's wrath that he has thrown a lightning bolt up his ass?

I reckon they'll shoot you. Nintendo Go users be aware - extra points available.

Tis GOOD to live in the land of the free . . . for awhile longer at least.

Not to sure about wearing the police word but in Florida if you have a moving bike with red or blue lights on you are going to jail, does not include brake lights.

Here too - and the law regarding flashing WHITE lights is a bit of a grey area. A mate was stopped for having flashing white running lights - he convinced them he has an agile thumb. He may do! - but there may also be a hidden switch

YEP!
The lights be the last straw.
A citation unless they are flashers - then book city!
Perhaps an actual unifirm is a no-no, but I know of many that wear shirts that say police or even have the crest of a specific agency.
Will say that most are t-shirts, polos or short sleve sport shirts.
