Uhmmm, let me correct you. Carabinieri are uniformed agents, like a second police force that's under the control of the ministry of defence, rather than the ministry of internal affairs, and while they are military, and may serve on military missions abroad wearing camo, they DON'T wear camo on normal duty, just search Carabinieri in your image search of choice and you'll see.

We do have camo wearing people acting as police forces, something they introduced a few years ago (I want to say 10 but I don't remember) but those are actually soldiers, and they're always under the command of an actual agent.
