once you'd get away with no probs.
if they stopped you again, could assume you are impersonating a police officer.
worst case....but possible :'(

Heh, I can't see the pics at work, but guessing it's some sort of Plod dressup.
Doesn't apply to you - obviously your little one left that there, but....
The amount of people who drive around on the motorway, with a hi-viz, either folded up on the parcel shelf, hanging on their seat, or similar, never ceases to amaze me.
Who would go to the trouble to neatly fold it up, put it on the shelf, in the most visible place..... they are nearly always clearly trying to trick people into thinking they're something they're not...
I personally never drive my own cars with any uniform on display, even directly after a shift - People see you, and drive at about 10mph, you never get anywhere! :(

Are you a policeman James ??

Remember it's holiday season. Hi-Vis jacket display is probably a ploy to stop the Eurotards from pulling them over when travelling on the continent, especially when accompanied by spare bulbs, fuses, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc...

wrong policeman, on the wrong day, maybe looking for an excuse....It wouldnt surprise me.
-
Ok,
But under what grounds ....
My friend said to me once , " are you a coppa "
I really fancy the idea of a undercover look, with out braking any rules .
I think that is the problem with the british police force ... lots and lots of good ones but theres always a bad one too !!!
-
Suspicion of impersonating a police officer....
could argue that on the back is meant to look like a real helmet, and designed to alter other peoples driving style....
very tenuous, and you could obviously explain it easily, but could be enough for them to want to check you out.
fine and on your way......but if they had recorded the fact they asked you not to do it, and you got stopped a 2nd time, I guess you could be in trouble.

ok ... drop the helmet out of the eqasion ... Just thought it as funny when my lad put it there so it didnt get crushed .
What could i do to my omega to make people think " break ..its a policeman"

Put red stripes on it. And a blue light on top. And fit a two tone siren. :y
Oh, and big letters that say 'Police'.

......can't imagine why however if you were to attempt it then you might be breaking some rules - the two sections highlighted may apply......
Police Act 1996.
90.
Impersonation, etc.— (1) Any person who with intent to deceive impersonates a member of a police force or special constable, or makes any statement or does any act calculated falsely to suggest that he is such a member or constable, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, or to both.
(2) Any person who, not being a constable, wears any article of police uniform in circumstances where it gives him an appearance so nearly resembling that of a member of a police force as to be calculated to deceive shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
(3) Any person who, not being a member of a police force or special constable, has in his possession any article of police uniform shall, unless he proves that he obtained possession of that article lawfully and has possession of it for a lawful purpose, be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale.
(4) In this section—
(a)
“article of police uniform” means any article of uniform or any distinctive badge or mark or document of identification usually issued to members of police forces or special constables, or anything having the appearance of such an article, badge, mark or document, [F1 (aa)
“member of a police force” includes a member of the British Transport Police Force,] and
(b)
“special constable” means a special constable appointed for a police area.
Under such circumstances it would warrant a 'pull' :y

James , excellent work you do there mate !
Zulu77 , Im just saying that if i drive an omega , wear a police cap , have my handcuffs in my bum bag and have an extra interior mirror ( like some police cars do ) Would that mean im impersonating a policeman!
STMO123 I no its only 4 pot ! ... Ive learnt from my mistake , I wont buy another ..lol ;D

Anyone can drive an Omega, and anyone can fit an Extra mirror. (Driving instructor....)
Carrying cuffs in your bag wouldn't in itself be impersonation - you may have legitimate reason, such as UK Border officer, security guard... (and even if you don't have a reason, if you're not overtly carrying them, you can't be impersonating anyone) :P
Only the highlighted bit, might amount to impersonating a constable AFAIK :P
-
Some years ago I drove a White Rover P6, I was also a Cub leader in a group that had Sea Scouts, so I could wear the Sea Scout uniform if I wanted. White peaked cap often sat on the front dash or rear parcel shelf :y :y :-X

you left that on my kids estate the kids will have it torched knowing its a coppers car.

I personally wouldn't chance it, people that are in the know would spot it's not a police car easily. I.e. no headlight washers and xenon's, too old, your custom exhaust, lack of extra aerials. I think if you wore a police hat you'd be asking for trouble. I think adding adding extra aerials extra mirror's etc could be done and no problems from that. But a hat? Bad idea. Imagine if one of the people who don't know much about cars, or police cars saw you in a line of traffic wearing your hat flagged you down, or you drove past an accident. What would you say? I'm sure the police wouldn't be too happy. I'd say yes to extra mirrors and aerials if you want, but a big no to clothing etc.

i no mate ... was just a bit of fun .
I drove up to my local tesco sunday night where shropshire modified and performance club hang out ... It was funny when I stopped and chatted , and they commented that they thought it was a copper ( from about half a mile away ) lol
Just a laugh !
I have a cap upstairs with "police Academy" on it ... worn it for years at work , they just thought i was some geek who liked the films !
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I sport an extra mirror --- angled to keep an eye on the youngster in the back seat. Also have a hi-vis jacket in the car ( but in the boot) for work purposes (the odd times that I am prancing around some dim and dismal country lane it comes in useful -- nice and warm too -- hate it cos I look like a christmas tree!). Have a couple of chequered fleeces too -- but wouldn't risk taking them in the car (one day will remove the reflective bands cos they are good fleeces).
Cuffs have long been confined to the bedroom drawer ::)
