Something my friend told me is that there are 3 easy tells of an undercover cop:
- Buff
- Alone
- Dresses very averagely (compared to the queer people around him)
If someone matches all 3 descriptors, it is likely they’re a cop
On the other hand, if it’s someone alone and dressed very averagely but not buff, then that’s just me.

In the UK they like North Face coats a lot of the time. They don’t really use plain clothes for protest as much anymore. A new strategy that is similar but annoying is the use of “auditors”. One of the big ones became an informant so they all copied him in becoming unaware unofficial evidence gatherers, even though the whole concept of auditing is supposedly highlighting police corruption.
You forgot the most obvious indication he’s a cop… Yankee’s baseball cap
AYFAB?
Assigned Yankees Fan At Birth?

I swear Yankees caps are conservative-coded no matter where you encounter them.
There have been agitators pretending to be supporters of this anti fascist protests, Andy ngo being a well known trying to pretend as one of them
What is a ‘thin blue line bracelet’ and why does it give away an undercover cop?
Thin blue line is cop supporter shit. Back the blue, etc…
Lol, shouldn’t you take that off if you go out pretending you’re with the protesters and all?
Oh def but this picture is too bad to even tell if that’s why it is but I wouldn’t put it past a cop to be that dumb
Hypothetically enough civilians wear them as well so that alone isn’t proof. That with the cuffs is certainly enough to be wary.
Yeah, I feel like this picture was made as satire.
Depends on whether they want to be spotted. Sometimes the point is to be obviously intimidating and try to divide the protesters over throwing someone out. Other times it’s to be an obvious plant so that after getting rid of them the protesters think they’re no longer infiltrated and overlook the less obvious one. And sometimes it really is just incompetence.
Another thing to look for is a cell phone standing up in a shirt pocket with the camera facing forward.
Could also be used as an identifier for other officers in case they get into an altercation and need to signal “hey I’m on your side”.
I am not sure if they were being coy, but I saw another user say “color of the day” meaning that it might not just be blue, and that they could be cycling colors to obfuscate detection from protest groups on multi day protests.
The thin blue line, is a buzzword for cop supporter
I don’t even need to pay attention to their clothing. Pigs have a distinct smell and swagger to them that immediately gives them away.
And if they’re too far away to smell you can always pick one out by this handy comparison chart.
Cuffs could be snus tho. If you only spot one of these, prob not a cop but if its multiple signs then its prob a cop
Those are just my altoids sours :(

The wrap around Oakleys have to be somewhere as well…
Sometimes they take them off and put them on the back of their backwards hat while undercover. What happened here is they were either stolen or fell off. But you can always pick out the facial indent and tan line if they’re missing.
fun fact: you can tell how long someone has been a cop by the depth of the Oakley indent on their face.
Good advice in turkey too
