I have a drawer full of them, but never affix them to my vehicle. Maybe it has a subliminal effect on the officer, it does show respect and support for LEOs. So be it.
Are you really serious when you say a Police Officer writing the ticket can set how much the fine will be? Wow! Just when I've thought I've heard all misconceptions about Police Officers, up pops a new one.
