In most countries it is illegal to impersonate law officers, police or not. It's very strange that it is not so in Germany.

- type0 10y agoI mean, why otherwise would they call it 'sharia law'.
- germanier 10y agoSame in Germany. It was just clear to absolutely anyone around that those weren't actual police officers thus they were failing to impersonate anyone. It's the same reasoning that allows people to wear shirts with "fashion police" written on it.
- type0 10y agoIt's not about what it says on the clothing, it's about how they act and what their intentions are.
- germanier 10y agoYes. Absolutely everyone who interacted with them or even just watched from the distance would know that they weren't police officers. It was absolutely clear that they were private citizens sharing their opinion. This can't be called "impersonation".
