A person wearing camouflage pants in public left a British Columbia man outraged last week.
So much so that the 27-year-old Trail resident called police to complain and said he was “offended on behalf of the military” as he believed civilians were not allowed to wear those kinds of pants.
According to the Trail and Greater District RCMP, an officer received a phone call Friday afternoon about the garment. The man requested that the officer find the man and remove his pants.
Police say the officer informed the man that the removal of someone’s pants would be illegal even if they were camouflaged.
The caller told the officer he would remove the man’s pants himself “under order of King of England.”
The officer replied that forcefully removing the man’s pants would constitute an assault and dissuaded him from taking action.
“Our officers did look for the man reportedly wearing the camouflage pants downtown but unsurprising couldn’t find him,” Sgt. Mike Wicentowich said in a release.
