    Default Been seeing this sticker absolutely everywhere!



    I looked it up, and I guess it means that the car bearing the sticker belongs to the family of a police officer.

    This does not explain why, in the past week, I have begun seeing these stickers at least 5 times a day. Why the sudden jump in popularity?

    Same on this side of the Atlantic.

    Putting a Christian fish symbol on the rear of your car seems to magically cause selected parking violations outside churches to be, ahem, overlooked.

    Somebody I knew at school dishonestly obtained a Disabled Driver orange badge. He used it to park pretty much anywhere that he wished UNTIL he was caught for not being entitled.

    If the black and blue bumper sticker phenomenon is known, others will jump on the bandwagon, hoping to gain whatever advantages the sticker brings. Immunity from speeding fines? Immunity from parking fines? Preferential treatment at toll booths? Immunity from being treated like a (Rodney) King? Who knows?

    My guess is a fund raiser of some sort... donate and you get a sticker.

    Black over blue over black? Something to do with the Gulf Of Mexico oil spill, perhaps?

    It is a flag for law enforcement people, since they believe they are the "Thin Blue Line" that keeps us from swinging from the trees and throwing sh!t at each other. It was meant to be a mark so cops could identify each other, but now everybody has one because they think it earns them a pass if they are pulled over. Kind of like standing with your right hand in you pocket with three fingers hanging out to show your a KKK member.

    I see em' everywhere around here. It's always on some beat up P.O.S. car that the white trash drive thinking it's gonna get em' out of being pulled over. Funny thing is the law don't even use em now here because it's refered to as the Trash Badge.

    I think people have some notion that it will get them out of a ticket. I have seen them on every other car here in the Southeast US but not really anywhere else.

    I have a couple of law enforcement buddies and none of them use those stickers or their families.

    A couple years back when I was driving the White Ghost, they closed the road to the beerstore to do some work for a couple months. That shot the drive up from 25 miles to close to 50 one way to go around the detour. I scored this tag off a gate on some state land and put it on the front and would take the construction route acting like a state worker. It worked out great. They never actually took the time to read the tag, just a glance at the tag and the white truck and it looked like I was suppossed to be there.

    Best part was one day I went through and one of the guys on the job stopped me and started telling me things I was going to need to do the next couple of days at work. I just agreed with him and told him I was going to pick up some road cones right quick.



    I never fly because the Lord said: "Low, and I will be with thee."
