Spanish Security Expert Clarifies Laws on Wearing Police Uniforms in Public
Madrid, Spain - A recent online video featuring security expert Jose de Pedro has shed light on the legal ramifications of wearing police or emergency service uniforms and insignias in public within Spain. In the educational segment, de Pedro clarifies that while public support for security forces is encouraged, there are explicit legal boundaries to prevent confusion or deception regarding one's official status. De Pedro detailed that the improper use of uniforms, insignias, official decorations, or even replicas that could lead to public confusion is subject to penalties. He cited Article 36.14 of Organic Law 4/2015 on the Protection of Citizen Security, which outlines administrative sanctions for such actions. Furthermore, he emphasized that if the intent or outcome of wearing such attire escalates to actual impersonation or the illegitimate exercise of authority, the individual could face criminal charges under Article 402 bis of the Penal Code, potentially leading to prison sentences. "It's about avoiding any situation that could genuinely mislead the public into believing you are an agent of authority or an emergency service official," de Pedro stated in the video, cautioning viewers to understand the legal distinctions. The expert's explanation serves as a timely reminder for citizens to be aware of the laws governing the display of official attire.
