So if a Sikh police officer stopped you, you would not show him any respect. Correct? Would you freak out at the sight of his scary (shudder) turban and shoot him? Or would you just run back into the woods whence you came?
A police officer in uniform should be recognizable as an
officer.
Here in Texas a highway officer in a marked car must also
wear his uniform hat so he can be easily recognized.
I will let you have the last word.
