this is a common urban myth..it came about as a result of the introduction of the Breathalyzer law when a court ruled that an arrest made by an officer not wearing his helmet was not in uniform and therefore the arrest was illegal...the decision of the court was quickly overturned but the myth remained |

No!
But did you know that there is an unreppealed law on the statute books that says a pregnant woman may ask a policeman for his helmet if she needs to pee!! I would so love to try this one!! It would almost be worth having another baby for!! |

He only has to identify himself (verbally) as a cop |

sure, sure and if his tie isn't knotted to your liking you may be able to claim compensation through injury lawyers for you. |

No, it can't be true because they can arrest you when they are not in uniform at all. |

It sounds like one of the constitutional laws that some ignorant pothead made up. I'll bet you the same moron told you an undercover cop has to tell you he's a cop, if he's asked. |

No or there would be no point in going "undercover" |

you are correct. at your preliminary hearing make sure the press is there to make them look silly when you argue that point. |

Yeah that's the way it's always been. If the top portion of the arresting officers head is exposed during the arrest you walk, scot free, no questions asked, no ifs ands or buts even if you just murdered an entire family right in front of the officer or if you're just DUI or what ever. No headgear, no arrest,no exceptions!! And this is the law world wide. IGNERT!!!!!!!!! |

No it is not true. Even a off duty policeman can arrest you just as if he wa son duty as he ios a police officer always. |

I wouldn't risk depending on that inaccuracy. Anybody technically could arrest you as a private citizen - if anyone got off as a result of a policeman not wearing his helmet, they would glue them on!!! Good luck anyway |

I'll bet the criminals arrested by undercover officers wish that was true. |

Please tell me you are joking? A private citizen can arrest you, a plain clothes man, any cop in any stage of his life to include cadet and even retired. |
