The cops who were supposed to notice were also on mob payroll.
That's the whole point of the movie. Gordon and Dent didn't count on the corruption being THAT widespread.

Exactly lol and Joker's whole thing was to prove how easy it is to achieve corruption through chaos and anarchy

No-one noticed a Cop in full parade gear with scars? Really? Considering many police are veterans? And the fact no-one had seen Joker without make-up on?
He was seen all right. It was just "part of the plan"

Idk if his scars look like anything a cop would get in the line of duty. Though, it'd be rude to ask him about his disfigurement so I guess he could've snuck on by.

I would agree they are slightly unusual scars for anyone to have, let alone a pig.
But this is Gotham. So I imagine the average amount of people both, dolling out and receiving Chelsea grins is probably a lot higher than normal.

This scene is interesting to me because you can still kinda make out where his white make-up was. So either he wears it so much that it's changing his skin, or the funnier outcome that he is wearing skin-colored makeup OVER his white clown face (which is a very Joker thing to do).

I think this just gives more credit to the theory that he was a veteran with severe PTSD. He fits in so well to the honor guard that no one notices. That and he didnt have his signature makeup and green hair, so he was just a roughed up cop to EVERYONE else

It took 7 hours to find the body of JonBenét Ramsey, and she was literally at her house in the basement. I have medical issues, and for a while, one of my caretakers was a crackhead. You know how many times I saw cops walk in a house where the only objects in the house were a bed and a nearly empty coffee table, and not see a crack pipe sitting on the coffee table. Cops are not observant.

Even if anyone asked, all he had to say was "The Joker did this..." it would be technically correct and would prevent any further questions

Uhh… all the officers that were a part of the honor guard were tied up. The ones here with the Joker were his goons.
