In the near future, will all police wear plain-clothes?

Asked by Fausnaught (373points) March 19th, 2010

I live in New York City and many of the police you see on the streets are plain-clothes cops. For the few that don’t know, that means they wear regular street clothes.

Will this be a trend? As you see with military, private military contractors wear non-uniforms in battle, so will all cops be plain clothes? Do we need our cops easily identifiable? What will this mean for law enforcement in America?
