Gas Mask Costume
Impersonating a police officer?
I have a cool idea for a halloween costume, but I am afraid that it might be semi-illegal. I want to dress up as a SWAT team member decked out in all black, with the kevlar helmet, ballistic shield, and gas mask, etc. I will NOT have a weapon (real or fake, as I want to be able to wear this @ my college). Now if my vest says “police” on it is this considered impersonating a police officer?
Well aren’t you thinking ahead! It depends. I knew a guy who was accosted by a police officer (he may even have been arrested, I don’t recall) for just wearing a pair of used sheriff’s deputy pants. However, this was an extreme incident, and as long as you don’t try to make people think you’re actually a police officer, you should be fine. Especially on halloween, there would probably be considerably more leeway. I might leave off the gas mask though, it would make it pretty difficult to explain the situation if somebody asked.
