Call me simple but I thought people who ride around with "Police" on their helmet or jacket were police, or wives of?

I know this because my family members are both and that's where they get their uniform, if they need a replacement.
So. How can tell they are not police? My nephew looks nothing like a cop. More like a tuk tuker.
Not saying it doesn't go on but it's not as prevalent as people think.

Is plain clothed police officers even a thing in cambodia? I only ever see teenagers with these jackets and it's plain obvious that they're not real police

Re: Water festival: 30 guys'n'gals arrested for Police/Army disguises
When I work on our grounds I wear OD fatigues and combat jungle boots. On occasion I wear them on rare forays to Kampong Cham. For some strange reason no one considers me a member of the Cambodian military.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

"Maybe the ones who do don't ask."
I rather suspect it's due to the fact that I am obviously a white foreigner and at 73, an old one at that. Perhaps they find it humorous, but no one goes looking for the police.

Unrelated, what’s with all the dudes in matching suits and sunglasses with red ties this year? They just stand around watching everything.
Yes, there are huge numbers of plain-clothes police and Gendarmerie around. They usually wear button-down shirts, slacks and leather shoes, and carry one or more Icoms.Is plain clothed police officers even a thing in Cambodia?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I thought they were. Any idea o. Why they were dressed like that this year? They all had ID tags in their jacket pockets and looked the part but I had never seen them like that before.John Bingham wrote:I think they are BHQ guys too, there were thousands of them.kiwiincambodia wrote: ↑Sat Nov 04, 2017 2:20 pm
