The Space Hijackers pride themselves on creative and artistic forms of protest — often against police abuse. They were a bit surprised to learn that citizens can easily confuse a person in red high heels, frilly stockings, and a helmet for a police officer. It appears that English officers are far more adventuresome than our own police.
Members of the group of anarchists and street performers have been charged with impersonating officers.
In one performance, the group obtained a rundown personnel carrier and rode around with plastic machine guns while speakers blared the Ride of the Valkyries. Some were wearing bras while others wore jumpsuits. In this picture, the group asks viewers to find the real police officer, who appears to be writing them the citation.
What is astonishing is that the British police have spent considerable amounts of money investigating and prosecuting the group, including hundreds of hours of time for personnel.
The arrests include Leah Borromeo, 30, a freelance writer arrested wearing a black bra and boiler suit and insists that “[i[f I’m guilty of anything it’s of impersonating a stripper, not a police officer.”
It is not clear what the English prosecutors would do with these street performers who impersonate both the police and the protesters:

FIRST BEFORE I GET TO CARRIED AWAY LET ME PUT THIS OUT FOR EVERYO0NE TO UNDERSTAND. ( I AM NOT A POLICE OFFICER, GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, OR IN ANY WAY A PART OF OR RELATED TO ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OR COURT OF LAW. FURTHER MORE I AM NOT GIVING ANY LEGAL ADVISE PERIOD. I AM SIMPLY EXERCISING MY U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ).
I THINK IT IS REDICULOUS THE POWER THAT IS GIVEN TO THE LEGAL OFFICIALS ALLOWING THEM TO MAKE AN ARREST RATHER GOOD OR BAD WITHOUT RECOURSE. NOW UNDERSTAND THE LAW STATES IF A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SCREWS UP AND UNJUSTLY ARREST SOMEONE THEY WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COURTS. WHAT THEY DO NOT BROADCAST IS GOOD LUCK FINDING AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU WITHOUT CHARGING AN ARM AND A LEG UP FRONT.
NOW UNDERSTAND IN TODAYS MODERN TIME YOU ARE NO LONGER INNOCIENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY…. YOU ARE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCIENT…. IF YOU ARE ACCUSED BY A “REAL POLICE OFFICER” FOR IMPERSONATING A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE HE THINKS YOU ARE OR BECAUSE YOU MAY KNOW A LITTLE OF ALL THAT SPECIAL SECRET TRAINING THEY HAVE TO DO THERE JOBS…. NEW’S BREAK GUY’S IT’S OPEN RECORDS GOOGLE IT ALL OF THE LAWS ARE OPEN RECORDS. JUMP ON THE COMPUTER AND READ, YOU MAY FIND THAT READING THE LAW IS IN MY OPINION JUST AS INTREAGING AS A MYSTERY NOVEL. THE MORE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE THE MORE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND, BUT DON’T EXPECT ANYONE WITH A BADGE TO LISTEN TO YOU BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT PEACE OF PAPER HANGING ON YOUR WALL. FOR EVERY LAW WRITTEN THERE RULES AND PROCEDURES THAT HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED. THE POLICE ARE GIVEN CLASSES ON THIS AND EXPECTED TO KNOW IT. IN THE POLICE OFFICER’S DEFENSE IF A POLICE OFFICER WORKS A STANDARD 40 HOUR WEEK, YOU MAY WANT TO AUTOMATICALLY ADD 10 HOURS ON TOP OF THAT FOR HIS PAPERWORK HE HAS TO PROCESS FOR THE INVESTIGATOR TO REVIEW. SO NOW YOUR ON AVERAGE WORKING 50 HOURS A WEEK, THEN YOU ARE EXPECTED TO GO TO THESE CLASSES TO LEARN ALL THE UPDATES ON THE LAW AND ENFORCE THEM. THE POLICE OFFICER’S DO NOT HAVE AN EASY TASK.
NOW WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHERE THE OFFICER’S STUPIDITY COMES INTO PLAY (NOT ALL OFFICER’S DO THIS) IS WHEN THEY GO BACK OUT ON PATROL AFTER THERE NEW CLASS AND THINK THEY ARE READY TO MAKE AN ARREST BASED OFF OF THE CLASS THAT THEY JUST SLEPT THROUGH. OFTEN THE LAWS ARE MIS INTERPRETED AND ARREST ARE MADE BASED OFF OF OPINION AND NOT FACT. IF YOU READ THE LAW IT WILL TELL YOU THAT OPINION IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO MAKE AN ARREST. BUT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. WHAT THE OFFICER DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IS THEY JUST PUT SOMEONE IN THE UN EMPLOYMENT LINE TO BEG FOR A JOB AND BE TOLD NO BECAUSE OF THE NEW PENDING CHARGE AGAINST THEM. NOW IT CAN TAKE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE YOU SEE A JUDGE AND THEY CONSIDER THAT TO BE SPEEDY “NOT” YOU MAY LOSE YOUR HOME, WIFE AND CHILDREN AND FACE EMBARRASSMENT FROM EVERYONE YOU KNOW. YOU MAY BECOME DEPRESSED AND TAKE TO HIDING IN YOUR HOUSE UNTIL THE CONSTABLE COMES AND THROWS YOU OUT. YOU WILL PROBLY FEEL LIKE THE WORLD IS AGAINST YOU AND 90% OF THEM ARE BECAUSE THEY PUT FAITH IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM.
NOW IF YOU MAKE IT TO THE TRIAL OR YOUR FIRST HEARING AND THE CASE IS DISMISSED OR WHAT THE OFFICIALS LIKE TO HEAR IS NO BILLED WHICH IS THE LEGAL WAY TO SAY YOUR GUILTY BUT THE LEGAL SYSTEM CANNOT PROVE IT IN COURT. SO YES YOU WILL STILL SUFFER FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS. WHEN THIS IS OVER YOU WILL WANT TO SUE THE POLICE OFFICER AND THE CITY AGENCY THAT OFFICER REPRESENTS. WHICH YOU ARE ENTITLED TO DO ACCORDING TO THE LAW. BUT YOU WILL HAVE A VERY HARD TIME FINDING AN ATTORNEY WHO WANTS TO STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WILL TAKE AND THE EXPENSE TO PROVE THE WRONG DOING AGAINST YOU. JUST FOR YOU TO BE REMINDED THAT THE AGENCY IS PROTECTED FROM JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING WRONG DOING KNOWN TO MAN. THEY CLAIM THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE ACTIONS BEING WRONG AND ACTED IN GOOD FAITH. WHICH THAT EXCUSE ONLY WORKS FOR THEM NOT YOU AS A CITIZEN. THE AGENCY WILL ASK THE OFFICER TO RESIGN HIS POSITION TO SAVE THERE BUTTS SO THEY WONT HAVE TO PAY YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU BECAUSE OF THIS UNJUSTLY ACTION. YOU WILL SPEND EVERY PENNY YOU HAVE, GET BEAT DOWN AND IN THE END BEG THEM TO JUST COVER YOUR ATTORNIES FEES SO YOU CAN JUST GET AWAY FROM THE 24/7 HELL THEY ARE PUTTING YOU THROUGH. MORE THAN LIEKLY THEY WILL JUMP ON PAYING YOUR ATTORNEY OFF, BECAUSE IF YOU DO EVER MAKE IT TO A JURY TRIAL THEY STAND A GOOD CHANCE TO BE FORCED TO FACE UP AND PAY YOU FOR IT ALL AND THE AMOUNT IS LEFT UP TO THAT JURY OF YOUR PEARS WHO MIGHT ACTUALLY FEEL FOR YOU AND BEGIN TO SEE BEYOND ALL THE BS THEY HAVE HEARD AND READ FROM THE NEWS MEDIA. YOU JUST MIGHT WIN……..
BASICALLY AS A CITIZEN YOU ARE IN A CATCH 22. YOU CAN BE ARRESTED FOR ACTING WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS OF THE LAW AND YOU CAN BE ARREST FOR NOT ACTING OUT OF FEAR. EITHER WAY THEY WILL GET YOU… THERE IS A SAYING “YOU MAY BEAT THE RAP, BUT YOU WILL NOT BEAT THE RIDE”
WE THE CITIZIENS HAVE MAKE THE DICISIONS ON HOW THINGS ARE RAND IN OUT COUNTRY BY EXERCISING OUR REIGHTS TO VOTE. IF LAWS ARE BEING WRITTEN BIASTLY THEN VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE, WE CANT ALWAYS GET EVERYTHING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME BUT OUR POWER TO VOTE AND TAKE AWAYS THEY 6 FIGURE INCOME OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE MAKING AND PUTTING SOMEONE IN O0FFICE WHO WILL STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS. WILL COME SOONER THEN YOU WOULD EXPECT.
THE LAWS AS THEY ARE ONLY KEEP THE HONEST PEOPLE HONEST, ALLOWING THE CRIMINALS WIN…. ALL THE WAY AROUND….
ALWAYS REMEMBER, CHARACTER AND KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY TO EDUCATION.
IN CLOSING, PLEASE REFER TO THE TOP OF THIS STATMENT AND UNDERSTAND IT. I AM NOT A POLICE OFFICER AND I AM NOT GIVING ANY LEGAL ADVISE PERIOD. NO ASSUMPTIONS OR MIS UNDERSTANDINGS SHOULD COME OUT OF THIS STATMENT, BUT IF THEY DO I WILL POST THEM FOR THE WORLKD TO READ.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ALLOWING ME TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS.
In fact, I would in no way be offended if the Prof. pulled that. I just think it’s a funny song.

What’s the punishment for impersonating a stripper again, England?
They make you an MP?
Now that’s harsh.
Would a Chipp IN Dale dancer ever be confused with a Police Officer? How about that cop from the YMCA, the Village People? Humm, ??????
