If the city politicians and police weren't cool with this, they'd have a

The vehicles do resemble squad cars but the initials are different. The
badge is different. It's meant to intimidate but short of making
threats, what crime is committed?

The painting wasn't sold as forgery if the artist copying the master's
work signed it himself,

so the fact that they're able to do this without any pushback indicates
the city is perfectly fine with Sharia patrols in New York. The frog is
in the pot and the heat is slowly rising.

Why doesn't any of this shit ever happen around me? I would *love* to have
some Islamist fake cop try to enforce his religion on me. That would be a fun
day.

Muslim Community Patrols are driving through New York neighborhoods

Dressed like police officers and driving cars identical to police squad cars,
they are stopping to harass people for things like drinking alcohol, claiming
"this is a Muslim area and alcohol is not permitted".

The Muslim Community Patrol & Services (MCPS) operates volunteer patrols in
Brooklyn, New York, using NYPD-like Ford Taurus vehicles with red and white
lights to deter crime around mosques and schools.

I don't see this as any different than the plaintiff-appellant's
position just taken in Braidwood Management, Inc. v. Becerra, that their
free exercise of religion includes the right to regulate the behavior of
others.

What federal court decision protects me from crap like this?

The photograph was in this article published February 3, 2019. Is this
still going on? Even though the photograph doesn't show the red and blue
flashers, the article says the vehicles are so equipped.

There's nothing in the article about attempts to enforce an alchohol bam
or any other ban according to Sharia Law. Where did you read about that?

I was just about to include this in something I'm writing but now, I
don't see how I can.
