What an absolutely stupid law.

[thefactor]

impersonating an officer is not a stupid law. but i dont think this guy stated he was in the military. if you impersonate in order to obtain an advantage, then you should be arrested.

this law wouldn’t work in California from all the reenactors...

Actually, it is a law that is consistent with DOD regulations, and was expanded to include police uniforms.

Things might have changed, but when I was discharged from the USAF, I could still wear all the pieces of my old uniforms, with all rank,military insignia and badges stripped from them, but only as separate pieces, and only one piece at a time.
I can wear my field and flight jackets, but not in combination with fatigue pants.
I can wear my fatigue pants, but not with a fatigue shirt or any unit’s T-Shirt.
I swiftly donated (ditched) my blue uniform elements to an AF base thrift shop.

We have had lots of problems with people in Florida “impersonating” certain government officials.
Namely police and military members.

It seems a fairly common sense based law, to my eyes.
