That’s class.
Don’t they risk getting done for impersonating police officers though? or is that only if they try to convince someone they actually are police?
Yeah they need to atually try and make out there a copper, by using official badges or just saing that they are.

not on private land if its clearly for the purpose of making a movie or TV drama (or all the producers of crime shows would be nicked). Depending how charitable Archant Media and Norfolk Constabulary are feeling, matey might get a bit of bother for nicking the helicopter bit which is authentic (in fact some friends of mine are the “dots” on the infra red footage) but was released to the media (unusually with a lot of the airwave soundtrack left in) to warn folk against doing illegal raves. indeed my mates would be just as entitled to complain to youtube about this, as it ended unpleasantly for them resulting in the loss of a rig and a few folk arrested, also a lot of people on both sides have been hurt due to the rave culture and east anglian stubborness being mixed up. Archant are a respectable media organisation who used the footage within proper guidelines, this media studies kid didn’t. I can see why that footage is attractive as its hard to get modern era footage of police heli operations against a rave (much is from when I was a teen!) but they are supposed to teach folk about ethics and integrity when making movies.
The Bill was allowed to use very authentic metpol kit (except Sierra Oscar was picked as that division does not exist) but there were strict rules about looking after it and particularly using the cars – they had to have the lamps etc covered up outside the actual film sets. This was understandable as they used genuine rough areas of London and it would be a serious fuck up if some civillian flagged down what they thought was a real police car only to find it was from a TV company, especially when folk on them estates take swift and effective revenge against grasses.

How does this translate to if they were just throwing a rave and not filming it?

Yeah??
At the London G20 protests a few years ago some people got nicked for impersonating officers (they drove a 6 wheel riot vehicle into the square mile in full riot gear and proceeded to give the police what-for) but they weren’t telling anyone that they were the police, in fact it was made painfully obvious that they weren’t.

Shit man, some coppers love to make examples of people, especialy protesters, and especialy an G20.

unless they were obviously trying to impersonate officers (such as to convince a paranoid but naïve young person to hand over drugs) it would not be an offence (although doing an unlicensed event would be in any case).
I vaguely remember the G20 lot got in shit because just one of them had acquired a random and inoffensive piece of kit what was still current metpol uniform and that was enough to get them in bother. Unfortunately the met can play games too and they will come out with stuff like “yes us English know its a joke but London is multicultural and foreigners might have got confused”…
its the same as all public service spin and I worked at Defra for a few years. (they didn’t mind folk doing raves provided they didn’t fuck up the environment).
Theres actually a type of English for writing press releases etc to “civilians” and a more complex form used inside the service (very formal and often Latin quotes and often contains lots of local jargon / abbreviations).
And then a further way of speaking used for radios and low band VOIP telephone circuits similar to military and maritime protocol (the BBC and British Telecom use it as well). This is because the circuit is often ropey and the person at the other end is often in a different part of the UK or even further afield.
I nearly joined HM Coastguard to work in the Comms room (I have 60wpm typing speed at least for English) and they usually only want 55wpm. But they don’t have very good pay and conditions and outdated kit compared to NL and for both you are very likely to get randomly drugs tested 😥
