I don't think that impersonating a policeman, and producing a forged search warrant, in order to steal a car from someone is logically all that different from the Cape Town trick of shoving a Kalashnikov up his wife's nostril as they wait at a red traffic light. Once upon a time I personally had to think about how to tell a real cop from a bogus one - when as a member of the University's governing body I was a declared target of the Animal Liberation Front. There are ways to do this but puiblishing them is hard. Suppose the advice from your local chief constable is 'if alleged policeman responds to stimulus X with response Y then it's OK to citizens-arrest him and dial 999': publishing this would quickly make the test ineffective. On balance I think that current policy (I you pretend to be a cop you go to jail for a long time) may be optimal. I would rather not live in Iraq, where death squads so often dress up as cops that your rational response to a man in a cop uniform trying to stop you is to shoot him. Any interesting security-economics issues here? Ross I watched the first program and was disappointed.

(And BBC3 is oft-repeated!). Sometimes they miss out a few details just to play safe, though :-( This series is very good. (And BBC3 is oft-repeated!).
