Default AWESOME New Julius K9 Harness.. is this illegal?

This harness is really well built - I got it off ebay for about $60 and $7 for the "Police" Velcro tag.

It is really sturdy and very well built - it shipped directly from Germany and took only about 7-8 days to Canada.

When Nalah isn't at home, shes a guard dog at my family dealership.

Does anyone think having the "POLICE" tags is illegal? (ie. impersonating a police officer or something?). I take it off when I walk her in any case... it sure scares people though lol.

I would guess that it is. I know that it is illegal for a non-LE individual to buy a duffel bag that has the word "POLICE". We had to have Ronnie's supervisor fax in approval on Dept letterhead to buy it.

of course, laws in Canada might be different, but unlikely. someone could easily charge that you were impersonating a police officer

Overall, it is just unethical. PPD dogs go through extensive and intense training. It is a huge misrepresentation IMO. That company also sells "security" velcro tags, which would fit the bill, though

I know, my little brother thought it was "cool".

I ordered the security tags in any case from the seller.

It depends where you live. In some areas it is legal to wear something with "POLICE" on it (like a t-shirt or hat) and in some places it is not.

Personally I wouldn't use it... You could buy a patch that says "Working Dog - Do Not Pet" or you can even find ones that say "Security" or "Protection Dog instead.

Yes, it is illegal. Impersonating a police officer.

I think it's just bad taste and I have to agree with the others.

I have ordered the tags that say "SECURITY".

I was just curious if this was illegal or not...
