Here in the UK u can wear a US police uniform and its legal as its classed as Fancy dress... BUT if u say you are a police officer then you may well be breaking the law then.
I wear LAPD to shows and the odd Fetish club and the police have no problem with it. BUT if in public and not at a show then the Gun and Baton stay at home !!
Hope this clears up some of the confusion..
I also have been told that its not an offence to wear say NYPD uniform in LA as its not a legal police uniform if you wearing it in another State ?

He can own all of this stuff, but the moment he walks outside of his house with it on it is a crime, at here in the US, I'm sure it is in the UK as well.
