How come more cops here in the US don't wear more distinguishable uniforms?
I'm not retarded and can spot a cop in a uniform from a mile, but there's been many "I didn't know you were a cop" situations. Many of the times the perpetrator is lying, but if more US police would wear more distinguishable uniforms like in the UK/Europe, bright yellow vest/black and white, maybe it would be one less issue for them. Not only this, but it would increase their own safety to prevent friendly fire/giving tickets at the side of the road.
What's your opinion /pol/?
Also, post your country's police uniforms.

I dunno
I believe those are just ugly as fuck ceremony uniforms. Cops don't wear ties unless they are square badges or meter maids (including highway patrol).
The NYPD had dark caps and pants but comfortable baby blue shirts. Not sure if they have them now.
I'm willing to bet it's a cost issue in some way, shape, or form.

Light Blue upper with the light blue cars was the best. Those fuckers had yuge 8 cylinder engines and no speed limiter unlike the crown Victoria.
They were built like tanks too. They used to plow directly into the side of cars to jam the doors if a perp tried to escape. They pinned apartment doors and blocked off staircases when necessary.
The best part was the riot uniform. It was a helmet and a wood shampoo. No shields or armor. No pushing to disperse crowds, just beatings.

good old tit-heads. personally i think they should go back to wearing trenchcoats. might make it hard to catch criminals but looks cool.
i wish london still looked victorian just without any of the victorian problems and issues

>might make it hard to catch criminals
What's the problem there? Do they fall off easily or something?
Our uniforms are pretty cool but overall our police force is not actually a force.
The idea itself is pretty great. However, distinctive as they are, british police hats look pretty stupid. Russian cops may or may not wear distinctive hats, but they also have these huge ass "police" writing on their backs, so it's kinda hard to mistaken.

just seem like they would be cumbersome, probably couldnt stretch your legs as well as you could without the coat on.
maybe something like this would be better. i dont like the look of the white shirts they wear nowadays
>>80087019
American police should wear something more befitting their role. Hugo Boss should design it... or perhaps some older gents from Russia.

it's tradition mate i hope they never get rid of them
feels good to be british

I like the Brit hats. They make the police look like they are going to arrest me for being an Amerifat and throw out banter my way that I can't handle.
>tfw you will never get physically abused by a Britbong female officer that calls you a cheeky cunt

UK police need more diversity tbhfam

Implying three giddy women in skirts and high heels could tackle a group of American niggers.
They're hired to boost morale amongst actual cops.

don't mistake them for cops. Over where I live some of them look like cops but they're not cops they are people who dress like cops that work for "community violence prevention centers", similar to your pic.

I was sure glad when NYPD finally got their shit together with their uniforms and started making them wear belt keepers instead of slinging their Same Browne like they were fucking Wyatt Earp.
We used to laugh at those fuckers getting in a foot pursuit and by the time they got the suspect their damn gun was twisted around to the opposite side, amazing more of them weren't killed.
heres the police cruiser and uniform in my old city

You really wanna dress like our cops? It takes 8 officers to detain someone here. And if an offender has a weapon, they call the entire counties police force. Every cop wears very bright clothing and its fucking stupid. I have respect for police officers, but their uniform is shit.
>bright yellow vest/black and white
How will they conduct sneaking operations if they're reflective?
