Oi! Pigs over 'ere!

[Swoop]

Like in the UK

Also, New Zealand.

Wearing of motorcycle helmets.
However, you're not required to wear a helmet if:

you're on an all-terrain vehicle, a motorcycle, or a moped and
you can prove you're a member of the Sikh religion, and
you're travelling up to 50 km/h.

To perplex the unknowing types & drongos on KB maybe???

ahh nice of you to join us mr scummy, I was expecting you sooner but better late than never.

So to confirm, if you would be so kind, is the hat (like firefighter said) just to make you all look "pretty"?
& (presuming you have done it at-least once in your career) is it a hindrance when giving chase?

[BoristheBiter]

Thats a point really, they're whole uniform should provide a practical use & isn't really suited for their job,

Like this??

maybee not that extreme & definitely without the guns. But something with more movement & more practical so a cut down version of that maybee

I only wear it for media photographs.

Because the boss said I had to.

why not? its all got a practical reason to be worn.
Wasn't this the point of your thread, Oh sorry anti cop that was the point.

And if you must know, and i am sure you do, the hat has the police badge on it.

How is this tread anti-police? I said at the very beginning it wasn't & while I'm sure that whole outfit is "practical" in its design it is best suited for the armed defenders the police should be protected & have movement but while remaining "open & friendly" to the public so balaclavas, goggles, knee pads etc are overkill & give the wrong message to the public.

And I'm sure the badge can be put elsewhere but that does help with why they have to wear the hat

Sounds like my father, wears the hat on the way to work while walking through public areas. But as soon as he's in the cockpit I think the hat and jacket come off.

You are anti cop in the way you write your posts. all you posts in regards to the police are framed that way.
the rest of the post is just a smoke screen to start a cop bashing thread.

As for the AOS uniform IMHO every cop should wear one, i think it would show the right message. "we have had enough of this PC shit".

I think you are one confused little man.

[BoristheBiter]

Why?
you write up about pigs this, pigs that then try to say you are not anti police.

I think you are the confused one.

because I asked why they wear a pointless hat & if its a hindrance? while suggesting they should be in something a bit more "moveable" while not going full AOS gear, yep sure sounds anti-police to me .

Where?
it takes 3/8th of fuck all to complain about something but a shitload more to fix it.

Stop taking easy street. If you were to remove a policeman hat, how would you know in a crowd of people who was a policeman?

1stly I wasn't complaining about it I was asking about it

but that does bring another reason for they're hats

Do they still use the old wooden top when walking the beat. Its so long since I've seen a cop on foot I no longer know I presume they went for the cloth peak jobs for getting into and out of cars, rather than for the gay biker look
