    I was behind a huge redneck truck today that had a “plate” on the back saying essentially this, yet he had a “thin blue line” sticker on his back window. You just can’t make this shit up.

      Some of them believe that sticker (used to be the policeman’s ball sticker, but I didn’t put it together until recently) will make cops ignore them.

        IIRC one of those stickers, maybe policeman’s ball, was only available to cops and so you had to know one to get the sticker, and maybe then they’d identify “friends of the department” that way and go easy. Not a law or official policy, though.

        And yeah I doubt thin blue line does much.

          Yeah, you had to buy tickets to the ball which meant you were financially supporting them. And they were probably more right than I want to admit for those stickers but less right than they believe for the thin blue line ones.
