It's always possible to impersonate police, I'm not sure what your point is?

Wearing what the officers in the video are wearing - uniform with a prominent POLICE label - is sufficient to be identifying yourself as police, and would be impersonating a police officer if a member of the public did it.

So you agree that they're breaking the law by impersonating police?

If they don't have police powers, then yes.
