You keep denying it as if no one watches the video themselves

  Anyone can buy a patch that says "POLICE" on it and sew it to some fatigues. That's not a legitimate form of identification. There is no law enforcement organization or bureau named "POLICE" which one could petition, interview or sue. Stop being purposely obtuse.

    That's a stupid argument. Anyone can buy any easily visible publicly recognizable sign. I fail to see how this badge is insufficient in a potentially aggressive situation.

      It's insufficient because it doesn't identify someone as a member of law enforcement in a way that can actually be verified. Someone in fatigues with a "POLICE" patch driving up in an unmarked van could be the police, or they could be Federal agents, FBI, ATF, ICE, or the like, or they could be some random militia acting like vigilantes. They could be protestors false-flagging. They could be anyone.

      So let's change the situation then. If someone was trying to kick in your door wearing generic fatigues and a patch that says 'POLICE' while refusing to identify themselves, would you let them in? I'm assuming that would be sufficient identity for you to agree that they are in fact police and they have a sufficient reason to kick in your door.

        Yes, absolutely, and so should you if you're smart.
