BenRG:
That's the point: Without the badges, they're not in uniform. The uniform includes the badge; without it, you're just wearing blue clothing.
Tova:
Do you know whether police are allowed to drink in partial uniform?
OldGoat:
I see Roko and Clinton tacitly agreeing to forget it happened, and denying any romantic attraction but none the less striking up a friendship centering on their mutual interest in 'droid/cyborg technology. At some point a blunt, somewhat clinical discussion of AI sexuality ensues and Roko says something like, "Of course, since robot "sex' is accomplished via data transfer, it wouldn't be impossible to involve a human, but it would require his neuromuscular system be fitted with a compatible interface devic..." tapering off as both their eyes land on Clinton's right hand.
Android versus human blushing contest ensues.

I looked it up. It seems that the State Police have a regulation against drinking on duty (which makes sense), but I saw no rule about drinking in uniform while off-duty.

You're thinking of Demolition Man. Sylvester Stallone's character had been subliminally programmed to knit as a 'peaceful release of violent impulses' whilst in a cryogenic suspension pod. Other features of the film world were non-contact sex through brain-to-brain wireless networking (which is something I could see happening in QC), printers everywhere spitting out fines for public cussing and toilets that need a BSc in electronics to figure out how they work.

The film in question is Demolition Man, but the "cop knitting" thing goes at least back to Monty Python: https://youtu.be/hcCuBWXd-hc?t=252
EDIT: The "rat thing" is that Stallone's character had some rat burgers when they got in touch with the (literal) underground resistance, and found them delicious.
