Why have these not been banned? Why have the idiots wearing them not been arrested for impersonating a copper?

Where's the harm? Once you are close enough it's clear they aren't the police. If a driver notices them earlier and slows down a bit what's the problem?http://images.mcn.bauercdn.com/upload/298097/image...
You see these people occasionally, and they are usually riding in a way that would suggest they might otherwise be driving a car!! Sitting in traffic like cars, never filtering even when it's safe.!! Quite funny really.
I understand the point, and I get it. But this would be accompanied by a white bike in remarkably similar police colours and style. So you have to wonder.
But having ridden a bike in all weathers for a year or so, I don't think doing this would really make any difference.
I had numerous incidents in that time, some of which were my own fault, but some of which were caused by people who would never have seen you no matter if you were wearing one of these or stark naked.
It's the reason why I would never ride these days other than off road or on tracks.
For me, just too risky with what you are faced with on a daily basis on our roads. Fair play to those that do.

Horse cyclists wear them too, I beep the horn for extra long in that case!
I don't see how anyone can have a problem with them? It's a high vis jacket/bib with a word written on it.
Does it affect your life in ANY WAY? I mean, does it actually stop you from doing something? Feeling something? Going out for a good time with a loved one? Even just sat at home with your feet up watching the TV or reading a book?
Write down the reason on a postcard and post it to:
