It's coming from inside the house!

i think it'd be pretty weird to do that outside the house. seems like a good way to get arrested.

How does one go about getting one? I would gladly donate money to a police organization if they gave me a sticker.

Just contact your local FOP lodge. For Norristown I think it's just a $15 donation per year for an associate membership (you get a shield, sticker, and card for your wallet).

So for $15 a year you get to break the law. Sorry, but that's iust complete and utter bullshit. and people wonder why cops are hated by so many. If you're rich enough to send us money, you don't have to follow the law. Do they have a sticker for the poor or are the poor allowed to use their benefits card to pay off the cops? Seriously, how is this any better than a cop taking hush money?

I gather from earlier posts that the efficacy of said high signs, secret handshakes, etc is open to question, varying as it seems to do by officer on duty, time of day, day of week, etc

State police I know here have told me your comportment in an encounter matters far more than any badge/insignia/decal/card/wink/nod that you flash

reading through the greater lines from songs thread is strangely therapeutic

Being an attractive young woman (especially if you can cry on cue) is better than a shield, if the experience of my students is any indication.

taking laundry home to mom is great. I'm washing stuff I forgot I had

My wife's friend's cleavage was instrumental in getting me out of a speeding ticket several years ago.

"instrumental cleavage", in addition to being a great name for a band, practically demands further elucidation

It's also great for getting driven from the parking lot to the front door in our school security van on rainy days. Even better than being old or disabled

She was sitting in the back of my car wearing a V-neck. She leaned forward to talk to the cop. Sufficient?

I think Trent was joking with the who "you can do pretty much anything" talk. In my experience the folks who make the donations genuinely want to support their local law enforcement groups. It's not about getting a pass to break the law or anything like that. My shield sits in the glove box, but I do have one of the stickers on the back windshield. I was pulled over a couple years ago for an expired, out-of-state registration. I got a ticket. I got my car registered and went to court like just like anyone would have had to.

I really do think a lot of it has to do with your attitude. Don't know how true this is for getting on the good side of a cop during a stop, but a family member of a cop told me to do this and I've done it when I've been pulled over. When you get pulled over, turn the car off, take the keys out of the ignition, place them on the dashboard and keep both hands on the wheel so the cop can see them (and your keys). And obviously "yes, sir" and "no, sir", etc.
