At the time of the Itaewon disaster, there were not a few people in uniform wearing Halloween cosplay costumes.
As a result, some claim that the police and firefighters at the time of the disaster were mistaken for the festival crowd.
In fact, I have seen many articles online that police uniforms are being sold without any restrictions.
According to this article, when I searched for 'Halloween Police' on the portal site yesterday (the 1st), close to 19,000 items including police uniforms and props were found.
There were some crude costumes, but there are also some that are difficult to distinguish from the actual uniforms.
Under the current law, even though ordinary people wearing, using, or carrying police uniforms or similar police uniforms can be punished by imprisonment for up to six months or a fine of not more than 3 million won, no procedures such as ID checks are required to purchase, and you only need to pay an additional fee for handcuffs The article pointed out that the same props could also be purchased together.
However, due to the growing controversy over wearing uniforms at the time of the disaster, some online shopping malls have stopped selling them.
