Ban the online sale of police uniform and equipment to non-police

Petition Details

The Government should introduce legislation to ban the sale of official and replica police uniform and equipment online to anyone other than trained police officers and staff.

Additional Information

Official police items and replicas are sold on many online platforms. This allows anyone to purchase and acquire real or official-looking items, which could be used to commit crime.

Impersonating a police officer has been an issue for a long time, destroying the public's confidence in the police. Many incidents are circulated on news and social media of robberies, thefts, and other forms of crime committed with the unauthorised use of police uniforms and equipment. The current legislation allows these items to be sold online without much consequence, enabling crime. The Government should ban the sale of these items.
