That's only true in some places. It's not a general "rule" at all. If you're in a big city it's VERY unlikely. Small town? Oh yeah.... Usually a "D.A.R.E." license plate or bumper sticker is what is used.

no, in general many of those associations of police officers, or sheriff dept associations have nothing to do with police associations and only use police names to raise money in which most money go to those collecting the money.
And most police don't like those tags, since they are cheating the people, and they see them as the person trying to get out of the ticket.
The actual "sticker" police officers and thier family use have no words, but are merley a note that the car is drove by a officer or a close family member. ( but even that will not stop most officers from stoping the car)

It depends on how flagrantly you broke the law and if the officer that pulled you over has made their quota of tickets for the month or not.It also depends on how you act when dealing with the officer.Being super polite and apologetic about what you did as opposed to being mouthy and belligerent can be the difference between a citation and a warning.

Most California Highway Patrol officers would write their moms a ticket on Mother's Day for going 2 miles over the limit.
Bottom line - cops should do their jobs, period and not be influenced by external factors that has *any* appearance of favoritism.

I'm a family member of an officer and I've never gotten the "special secret sticker". wtf over. I think the sticker thing makes you look more suspicious, especially DARE stickers. How many guys have you seen on cops getting pinched for drugs wearing a DARE shirt. LOL

I asked a highway patrolman once about this. He said that they stop people with stickers FIRST as they are the ones who usually speed the most. Think they can get away with it because of the sticker.

Sweety - That is an urban legend, just like the one that you can go five miles over the speed limit. I am sure they appreciate the support the sticker denotes, but believe me, it makes no difference in getting tickets. GBU

I guess it would depend on the cop. For me, it never mattered, I did what I thought was right no matter how many stickers were on the car.

I don't think I have ever read a sticker on a car during a traffic stop.

It would probably depend on the cop, but I would think so, for example if you were to have DARE stickers and do not drink and drive stickers I would think a cop would be less likely to think you were driving drunk if you were.
