This can be tricky because not all vest are the same,vest that cops use can usually be pierced by medium caliber rifles like a 30-30 or AK-47 or high caliber hand guns like .44 mag, but the dragon armor as they call it they some times use in the army can withstand a 50 caliber rifle,the most powerful rifle every made beside armor piercing rounds,but funny enough a 22 mag can pierce a normal vest,even though its not very powerful if its a full copper jacket it can pierce,thats because its such a small bullet that it does not take as much power to pierce objects as a large 45 caliber or 50 caliber would.

It might well depend on the wording of the law in your particular state. Are felons prevented by law from possessing or wearing bullet-proof vests in your state?
Although individuals have been creating and utilizing makeshift means to protect themselves from bullets for some time beforehand, Casimir Zeglen of Chicago Illinois is credited with producing the first commercial bullet proof vest available to the public starting in the late 1800s. Zeglen's vests were made of silk fabric based on the findings of Dr. George Goodfellow of Arizona. Dr. Goodfellow observed that the silk cloth of a handkerchief slowed bullet velocities and penetration capabilities when inspecting bodies after a gunfight. The Zeglen vests retailed at around $800 US dollars at the time, the equivalent to about $15,000 US dollars in 2005.
At any police/security equipment dealer, or possibly as a military surplus military item. Check your local Yellow Pages.
