The fact that they carry the word "police" and that "police" is inherently intimidating, two legal reasons to ban them according to the German law. This should really be common sense for anyone: you don't call yourself "police".
That was my misgiving in this. The use of the word "Police" on an outer protective vest is not really free expression. It is more like fraud and in itself intimidating. I was surprised at the ruling.
