Our sons had long ago given him a MI vanity plate that said Vietnam Veteran. The young cop who stopped him went back to his car, called in the DL, found no infractions, came back and gave him a warning, saying Thank you for your service. Please slow down.

As they were driving away, his boss was reading the warning to him: Glasses. Color of eyes: hazel. Hair: bald.
There are a number of license plates that will often get you out of trouble...Ex-POW, Purple Heart, Disabled Vet, and believe it or not, Freemason. There are not a lot of cops who are Freemasons, but there are a lot of judges who are. I have a relative who has played this card several times.
