If Jake was trying to impersonate a police officer, he wasn't doing a very good job as he clearly did not appear to be a cunt.

funny how the cops werent wearing police uniforms

ironic really

[pigsrings]

that's a bit odd. i wonder what the real story here is. i would have thought that their 'boss' wouldn't agree with the arrest, considering the high risk of the fans becoming angry and possibly causing a riot. doesn't make sense to me.

@sxstratno1elses That's cause he took their uniform! ;)

Fucking pigs.

Oh come on how pathetic, you'd think Australian police officers would have better things to do than arrest someone for wearing a police shirt! It was absolutely harmless and they arrest him for it?! Love the expression on Jake's face when they take him away.

... yes, but subsection (5) says that he needs the approval of the Commissioner of Police before doing so. That's what 'without limiting' means. He can do it for public entertainment, as long as he has approval, or as 203(5)(c) says, a 'reasonable excuse'.

Why didn't you mention this?

Really what the fuck?

Bluejuce are fucking awesome and Jake gets fucking arrested for wearing a NSW cop shirt. I'm glad someone in the crowd, yayforbluejuice it seems filmed this. The cops are placed in concert crowds to deter any violence but instead they arrest the lead singer of the band. Although I do feel sorry for the cops as well, they were probably just following orders, and the first cop didn't look like he wanted to be doing it, but really WTF???
