Bike Decals
If my mountain bike has police decals on it, am I impersonating an officer?
I purchased everything I need, and built a mountain bike. I had the frame powder coated white and with “POLICE” decals purchased on ebay, decorated it accordingly. At first glance it might appear I stole it from an officer of the law. A closer look would make it obvious I didn’t. Just wondering if this is not legal, even if I keep it away from air shows and other places the bicycle cops patrol.
Contrary to what some have said it IS illegal in many places simply to have the word “police” (or othere LE terms) on your vehilce, bike, person, etc in a manner that decieves the public. Having “Elect ______ for sherriff” would generaly not be a problem. Those who say “free speech” are incorrect- by having such wording on something those persons are saying “I am a LEO.” People often fail to realise that you do not have to say anything- simply wearing a “police” like uniform and acting like a LEO is enough. As long as the general public is led believe that a person is a real LEO, when they are in fact not, the burden of proof for impersonation is often met.
JoelKatz is over simplifing the Florida State courts ruling. The ruling related to the wording of the statute being “overly broad & vague”, not that the acts were “legal” per se. An example of the overly broad aspect is that the Florida statute, as writen, would have included the election shirt noted above. They did not rule that the purpose/intent of the law was wrong, only that the way the specific statute was worded was incorrect. Check out this info-

“After watching a television show last night where a male stripper, dressed up as a cop, was shot at when he knocked on a hotel room door that he thought belonged to a paying client, but actually belonged to drug dealers, I was wondering if states can outlaw civilians wearing police insignia. Little did I know that the Florida Supreme Court had just decided the issue.” Even if “legal”, is it smart?

“In Sult v. State, 906 So.2d 1013 (Fla.2005), the Florida
Supreme Court held that s. 843.085, F.S. (2001) is
unconstitutional as overbroad and vague, and also
violates the right to substantive due process.
…The Court’s analysis appears to suggest that the
adoption of a specific intent requirement may address
the constitutional problems.”
Legal or not, it’s a good way to get yourself hurt or worse.
