On a side note - please dont ever donate to a State Trooper organization that solicits on the phone. They are not Troopers calling you (even though they say they are) and only a tiny percentage actually goes to a Trooper's family that lost their loved one in the line of duty.

He also "implies" that the decals you get (how many ya want son?) will provide some sense of security if you should get stopped
