Why do Police Officers Always Wear Sunglasses?

 

[Phantom]

1) To look intimidating.
2) So women can't see where there eyes are going.
3) To protect their eyes if they drive a motorcycle.
4) It looks cool (or so they think).

 

[TheGirlNextDoor]

It's an intimidation tactic.


Or.. it's because it's sunny outside and the glare gives them a migraine.

 

[Coronado]

I figured it's because they're all hung over.

 

[TurtleDude]

harder to identify them if they beat the snot out of you and you file a 42 USC 1983 lawsuit against them

A few reasons: to look intimidating, to protect their eyes, to see better during the day, and to keep people from telling exactly where they are looking (looking at women is expected from men).

They are fed data from a satellite link to their glasses so they always know where there's cheap doughnuts.

Thats what I though too man! But, then, I think of PRE-GPS days. :unsure13:

Sun glasses are worn to hide the eyes. It's more intimidating to get the blank stare, it conveys less information to the viewer, and it helps them get laid.

Before GPS they had a little earpiece on the end of the sunglasses arms that was connected to a radio that told them about doughnuts.

I am sure the military/CIA had GPS long before we thought it was invented. :2razz:

So they can still see even when the sun's in their eyes.

 

[R. Shackleferd]

"Woman cant tell they are getting looked up and down"
this is why i wear sunglasses.

 

[d0gbreath]

They have bright futures?

Sunglasses are worn for professional reasons.

Police Officers - They protect the eyes from the sun's glare. There is a lot of glare that comes off of mirrors and windshields. Spending the entire day defending from the sun with just a visor and a raised hand is impractical. Cain's a cop.

Military - Aside from the sun and glare, they (specific ones that can replace goggles) protect from flash burns during RPG or IED attacks.

The fact that it is looks cool is after the fact.

 

[Manc Skipper]

I can't recall ever seeing a British policeman wearing sunglasses on duty.

Oops! Except for a London Drug Squad officer in civvies.

 

[Tucker Case]

It matches their mustaches.

When I was a teenager I thought I have invented this tactic.

[b.larset]

To be more observant.

 

[Fiddytree]

Really?

I could tell you but, then you’d mystery kill yourself by shooting yourself 45 times in the face. :doh

Pretty much, yeah.

There is an instinctive human desire to make eye contact with someone. When you deny them this, it tends to give you a psychological edge in any confrontation. It also makes it a bit harder for someone to determine when you are distracted or looking elsewhere, if they are seeking an opportunity to make a move.

I never wore sunglasses. I was much more intimidating without them. :mrgreen:
