[edit] Fair use in Bakersfield Police Department

Though this image is subject to copyright, I, Defiant15E feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. Bakersfield Police Department has released the image to be worn by its staff amoung the population.
2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to distribute or market the logo/image in any way.
3. The image is needed to illustrate the the standard department version of the patch.
4. The image assistis in providing a visual for the sub-article on this subject.

{{ Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because: It is the primary means of visual identification of the article topic}}
