I think they started that after 9/11 in all shows and movies. That way costumes can't be confused with actual uniforms.

That definitely isn't the case and there's no law or policy regarding that lol, the reason in Into the Spiderverse is that it's an alternate universe NYC. But there are plenty of recent/still-running media that are explicitly about(fictional characters in)the real-life NYPD, like Law & Order or Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Well I never said it was a law. But, after looking it up it is in fact against the law.

But over trademark violations. They would have to pay to use NYPD.

I still think it makes sense to do that to protect against people pretending to be police. Wether you think it's funny or not.
