PLAIN COPS' NEON TOPS

PLAIN-CLOTHES police may have to wear yellow jackets so everyone will know they are cops.

Nottinghamshire Police Authority are considering the fluorescent coats in response to public opinion but detectives say it will blow their cover.

Authority chairman John Clarke said: "Every survey we've undertaken shows people want a more visible police presence on the streets to deter crime.

"Obviously those engaged on undercover duties will be exempt."

But a detective said: "I don't know of any other force that would think of such a daft idea."

Oh, I dunno... Fluorescent cops would be OK at looking for LSD users..

I think someone is confusing January with April.

First we have -"PLAIN-CLOTHES police may have to wear yellow jackets so everyone will know they are cops. "

Then "Oh, I dunno... Fluorescent cops would be OK at looking for LSD users"

Perhaps the Notts police should start looking for LSD users a bit closer to home
