The law you'd potentially fall foul of, is impersonating a police officer. Mostly it's about intent, ie, did you do whatever you're doing, to make others believe you're a police officer. In the case of the vest, why would you choose that vest over another?
Not something I think is very common, but then I wouldn't want to be a test case either.

You can wear whatever you want on the internets, no one is going to see you( unless you turn your web cam on) You should see the pretty dress I have on.
For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

In all seriousnessnessness years ago there was that gerkin company that painted/labelled one of their rep's cars to look similar to a police car. Think it was a commodore from memory??
Either way, it Copped heaps of attention but at the end of the day was deemed legal. The police said they shouldna donut cos it was in bad taste.............................what they expect, they were gerkins ffs.
Can't see an issue with a flouro wrapper causing an issue, after all the thin blue line is far too busy busting speedsters at the end of overtaking lanes errrr I meant black spot areas

I have seen them being used by horse riders in the UK and I get it. You see them sooner and when you see the word 'Polite' you might even slow down further. Clearly it is meant to look like the word 'Police' whatever anyone says. Horses get spooked so you need to slow down, although too many twats on two and four wheels don't so I understand their use in this situation. Having never seen mounted Police in NZ I am not sure how well it would work here, should soon find out though as one has been ordered for my daughter.
For motorbikes however I cannot see the point unless you do actually want to be a pretend cop. By the time someone is close enough to read the words they have already seen the yellow jacket. I doubt there are any legal issues with wearing it, but I cannot see what it will achieve that a normal hi-viz wouldn't.
Of an enviable height
Without the 'Polite' word it'd be fine. Adding that just makes it cop bait really. If the cop concerned already has a dislike for motorcyclists this would run the risk of turning that into a seething hatred.
