all met cops to get new warrant cards due to number of fakes in circulation

[Pickman's model]

The current generation of warrant cards feature a photograph of the officer along with their name and rank, along with the force crest and a security hologram.
The new versions are expected to include electronic chips that store data about the cardholder along with a number of other security features. The new cards will also provide better access to secure buildings and transportation hubs.
The upgrade, already agreed by the Mayor of London’s office, will cost around £650,000.
Although anyone found using a fake warrant card faces being charged with impersonating a police officer, an offence that carries a maximum six-month prison sentence, such cards are widely available online.

Will the new ones specify that they are indeed the dogs of the bosses?

How many people would even have a clue what a real one looked like? You could show a library card and most people wouldn't know the difference.

More people would know what an American police / fbi /ncis shield / badge looks like than know the British warrant card by sight.

So, the person being busted just quickly scans it to be certain?!

It makes plod very cross if you ring their boss to check on the authenticity of their ID.

Maybe, before they kick the shit out of you, they'll offer you a hand-held device to read their chipped card to check that their the right guys?
