They are basically telling us what underwear to wear to work. A couple of sergeants have jokingly been saying there would be spot checks. It’s totally outrageous." A female constable said she was "horrified" at the thought of her underwear being inspected by her superiors. "If I wear a pink thong I’m in trouble for exposing myself, but if I wear a nice sensible pair of knickers I’m going to get hauled up for exposing a VPL (visible panty line)," she said. "I don’t know what they expect of me. I’d be better off going commando and not wearing any knickers at all. "The same goes for male officers. They have been told they should not be showing their boxer shorts to the general public when they are on duty." One PC criticised his bosses for treating officers "like children". He said: "Any chance they could run a course on tying shoelaces?" A spokwsman for West Midlands Police said that it was important that officers "adopt a common- sense approach" to the type of underwear they put on before going on duty. He added: "The ‘pant guidance’ is part of the force’s revised uniform, equipment and appearance policy." Source: <a href="http://dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/194281/Police-banned-from-wearing-skimpy-underwear" target="_blank">http://dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/194281/Police-banned-from-wearing-skimpy-underwear</a></blockquote>
