It is not probable cause to pull you over, but it can be used as probable cause to search your vehicle. I recommend using cruise control at all times, making sure all your lights and signals work, and never driving under the influence of anything. If you follow these rules, you will have no problem with representing one of the most influential bands of all time.

Grateful Dead Stickers

It is not enough to pull people over but if I was still a cop I would use a Dead sticker as a red flag. I would look more closely for signs that there is drug activity being conducted.
Funny thing is I have been to a Dead show myself.

That's an old Georgia Court Case that I think made it to the supreme court regarding troopers stopping cars with GD stickers because the chances of the car having dope in it were good.
That is a prime example of profiling (not racial because I don't know too many black folks who are DeadHeads).
Then again...this could be more urban legend than anything else.

Yes, especially if someone has reported a crime & given a description of a vehicle with a sticker that matches the one in your car window. That would be probable. Also, in California, if your sticker is obstructing the drivers view of the road or the Officers view of the driver, then you could even be citied for that sticker! That's why it is better to keep your car free of stickers that could get you into trouble.

actually it can be in some states, in some states they have laws against any sticker in the back window, and in others they have laws that state no sticker can reduce the view.
So a officer woujld have to stop you and check to see if that sticker is in the way.
There are 100's of seldom used laws that officers use for probable cause, In Atlanta one day we sat and counted ( boring day) we found one in three could be stoped for something

No it's not, but you can rest assured that it will make it far more likely that you'd get pulled over for something trivial like not signaling

Officially, no.
Unofficially, hell yeah!
If a cop wants to pull you over for it, he can site some other official reason.

Yes if the cop wants mushrooms & weed.
