Probably illegal. And certainly a good way to get your ass kicked by protesters (and the police).

It is illegal. In California, it’s covered under Penal Code §538d[0]. In short, it’s not illegal to wear a police uniform, but doing so with the intent to deceive anyone (actual officers included) is illegal.
