Thank you for making this point. The very last thing we need is to have police disguise themselves as regular folks. It creates a number of dangerous conditions for both the police and the public.
"Who is this random person yelling and waving a gun?" Should I pull over for this random person with flashing lights in their grille?"
It's already bad enough having some traffic enforcement types in unmarked cars or in cars with "ghost" decals.
OTOH, her uniform is very "Aladeen" and while fussing about her uniform is a mostly trivial distraction, having a uniform that is a bit less "Aladeen" would probably short-circuit such criticism. If there weren't more important problems with this person, I would fully support mocking her ridiculous uniform.
