Do you get pulled over even if you have a Police VIP Supporter Sticker?
My mom just donated $75.00 to the Fraternal Order of Police and we got two car stickers in return. Before I place this thing on my car, I would like to know if this thing really keeps police officers from pulling you over. hehe

1. Let me just tell you what those stickers mean
They mean your mother bought into a fundraising idea designed to intimidate citizens into contributing to a private organization that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the State Police, and the "protection" or "privileges" that you think might have accrued because of that donation are in your head only.

Think about it - do you honestly think it's legal for police anywhere to sell their judgment about whether or not to charge someone for a driving infraction? Think about it.

I got a call just the other day from one of those clowns. I told him never to call that number again and to quit bothering me. Think I'll get busted as I drive down the Interstate, hmmmm?

2. Well, our resident cop/paramedic/published-author has been banned.
I'm sure he could have answered your question with all authority on the topic.

:D

4. actually, to some cops those stickers mean
"pull me over I'm a drug dealer who thinks buying this sticker from some scam agency will keep you from pulling me over"

6. LOL
I've never been pulled over--but I've only had my license for 4 months! I do like to speed though. hehe
