Uniform Fetish in Peril?
I’m on holiday this week, munchkins, and you were going to get an away notice and not much else today, but the BBC interferred. The following item on the news is an epitome of “what the fuck”:
A male stripogram facing court over wearing a police uniform and equipment has been charged for a second time.
Hang on. They charged a male stripper for performing in a police uniform? And then they did it again?
I don’t need to explain why this made me boggle. Police uniforms are not uncommon in spanking videos. They’re pretty common in your old vanilla porn as well, actually, and people have been wearing them for sexual kicks for ages. If the police make a habit of dragging people off to jail for a spot of uniform fetish, the courts are going to be extremely busy over the next two hundred years.
Obviously, commenting on a case without knowing full facts is futile. A little click-around on the BBC website has revealed that, although the lad was originally arrested for wearing the uniform, the charge was not pursued; he is, in fact, being taken to court for carrying dangerous weapons in public (i.e. having a baton).
And still they arrest him again? For impersonating a police officer? Even though the first time he was arrested for it, there was no charge?
If a Scottish lawyer happens to be reading this, please explain to us plain perverts what’s going on. There has to be more to this case, if only because otherwise it looks bloody scary.

Yes, I want to know what this is about. I suppose it hangs on the meaning of “impersonate”. But I’ve always understood that they can’t prosecute me for wearing a police uniform, as fancy dress, unless I use it to claim the powers of a police officer. And I think the, er, “victim” needs to have reasonable cause to believe me before it counts as an offence. Otherwise there will be many stage actors locked up before we know it…

Surely, what the guy needs to do is persuade all his mates and their girlfriends to turn up outside the court wearing police uniforms, and take over the public gallery. The real police won’t be able to arrest them all, and if the case then gets sufficient news coverage they won’t arrest the guy again either. Few people in authority like to see their stupidity aired in public.
Not sure of the exact law, but some years back I played a police officer in a TV drama. Because the uniforms were 100% realistic we were made to remove the hat/jackets etc when the cameras weren’t rolling. There was also a ‘police car’ being used that had to be covered in case it was mistaken for a real one. So there’s obviously some law or other. To arrest a stripper seems a bit ott though.
