Doesn't work that way in the US. The cop bikers get fucked over. They wear shitty nonprotective boots, shitty non protective cloth pants, and a shitty t-shirt length crappy cloth shirt. Around here they don't even wear full face lids, which is common in the US.

Very true. I know in WA they actually wear 'stich suits though... down here, it's no different than if they were driving save the "stripper" knee high boots, and "wight lifting" gloves.

They get the same up here; crappy HD motorcycle (though there are some big BMW units under test), stovepipe boots, short sleeve shirts, half helmets, and uniform pants.

My mesh gear looks enough like the stuff that the BMW guys have on test. Then there's the fact that we have a huge immigrant population here, who have been train by experience to recognize Hi Viz as being used by police, in their countries of origin.
