Years ago, laws were passed during student demonstrations in the 60's about impersonating military personnel. Since many of the students wore field jackets, as they were cheap and warm, it was a legal device to make an arrest during a student action or demonstration. To my knowledge, those laws have not been taken off the books, but I will gladly stand corrected if they have. Considering the propensity of the LAPD to fire rubber bullets directly at the press, never mind mounted horse charges at photographers, I'm not taking any chances. I now never wear black at demonstrations.
