From an admin point of view, treating the threat indicators as hard cover is a Pain in the Butt to paste.

I tried it once at a club match, didn't like it.

I'm with Perry on the badge thing I HATE IT WHEN THEY USE BADGES INSTEAD OF HANDS!!!

I see badges in the city all the time. Most of them are off duty bank guards or mall cops or who-knows-what. I'm really not sure if that is the best barometer of weather or not someone is not a threat or not. I do however, know the difference in uniforms between a transit cop or Phila cop and a mall cop or idjit with a badge on his shirt; that combined with the badge, would certainly be more of a non threat IRL in my book.
