    Much rather he be in front of me than behind. Besides, an officer with something like that on his car at least has a sense of humor.

    I'd have arrested you for not giving full time and attention to driving.
    Sorry...I've just got a thing about talking on a cell phone while driving.

    I'll bet his SGT.doesnt know its there.Not that its hurting anything but today LEO's dont have any room for error such as a complaint about something being on a patrol car.

    Years ago I was standing on the porch of a restaurant talking with the Chief of Police of Prince George's County, Md. The restaurant was located between 2 gas stations and it wasn't uncommon for cars to roll through the parking lot. As I was talking to the Chief a police car drove through the lot and I pointed to the rear window of the cruiser. In the back window was a white rug with some bobble head animal AND the regular hub caps had been replaced with the ones that gave a "mag" wheel appearance.

    The Chief was NOT amused!

    Sure gives a better image than just a automaton. At least you know there's a person behind the wheel.

    Then again, I like nose art on WWII bombers too.

    I always thought it would be cool to paint up cop cars like military fighter aircraft. Put the officer's name on the door. Put little symbols for various arrests, DWI, felony, etc. down the door.

    When you see a cop car that looks a little out of the mainstream, keep in mind that some cop cars actually belong to the cop driving it, not the agency.

    Nunn, that idea would be great !! I could see an narcotics unit rolling up with little pills and pictures of grass on its body. Or a marked unit with slashes on its front fender indicating years of service, rank. NO fake bullet holes allowed.

    Get out of the left lane.. you're holding me up.

    The cop with the rear bumper sticker would be more likely to give someone a break than a cop that has no sense of humor, in my opinion.

    I've told our IA officers that if I can find some badge stickers, I'm gonna put them on their drivers door, kinda like fighter pilots put stickers of their enemies' flags indicating 'kills.'

    I'll probably get in trouble, but the pics I'll take will be worth it!

    For several years radar has been able to detemine the speed of cars following or coming up from behind a police car, when you read the license plate frame, it may be because the trooper is pulling over in the process of escorting you to the shoulder for a chat. With regard to talking on cell phones while driving, I saw some stats a few years ago, and cell phone users had a probability of getting into an accident similar to a drunk.

    We have a D.A.R.E. car here that a local sherriff drives to all grade schools that has a 1200 watt stereo in it, lighted ground effects, and spinner hub caps on it.

    When I was a "little" younger, I had small 3" stencils of kitty cats, opossums, and the like that I would spray paint on the drivers door. A road "Ace".

    It looked cool in high school but the truth is I once hit a dog and cried for two days. It didn't even hurt him that bad as he ran off and I couldn't catch him. [|)]
