A question for the LEO's on the forum

Zach · 06-12-2006, 09:32 AM

Today I bought a new license plate. I wanted to be enlightened more about the rumor that police/troopers are more lenient on people who have certain plates. I bought the 'Police Athletic League' plate. So what's the deal? Is anything true about the rumor that police are more apt to let you out of a ticket if you have a certain plate? Thanks!

Nope - just a rumor . . . .

Although the PAL is a good cause, a driver's actions is what gets them in and out of a bind. ARRIVE ALIVE!

Same as those FOP/PBA/Support your local police, state troopers and all that crap decals. I like the ones that have thier FOP/PBA "badge" bolted onto one of the screws that secure the tag. Excuse me sir. Aside from your apparent lack of driving skills,...you're tags obstructed too...sign here please

Honestly I got it because the plate looks GREAT (especially on black cars), I doubted the rumor was true

THANKS though!

How about a get out of jail free card from Monopoly?

The crap that they bolt all over their tags is illegal too - I am amazed when someone says that they were told that their donation would help them out since they are a "booster" member. Folks, our budgets are set by the Governor and money comes from sales tax - not booster memberships. Some people flame out when they get a ticket and they are a "Booster".

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.
