That’s why I don’t put any political stickers on my vehicle. Don’t want to stand out for idiots, including the police.

I could get them for out of state use; I don’t have to have plates on my truck in state.

I said months ago upon spotting one of these that getting an anti-government slogan/symbol on your STATE-MANDATED plate that signifies taxes, registration, tracking, etc. is nonsensical. It’s impotence and futility along the lines of writing ‘FILED UNDER PROTEST’ on your 1040.

Beyond revenue consumed by the insatiable maw of government, why do any decorative/themed plates exist? Plates are ostensibly meant to help identify a vehicle in the event of some crisis, accident, crime, etc. A state issuing 30-40 different plates (most of them with this or that politically correct theme) is the antithesis of efficient ID, especially when two or more states are involved.

Once upon a time you could ID a plate by color scheme (border, background, numerals) as much as by letters/numbers. Given that most people only get a glance of a plate this was at least a starting point. Now it’s ‘Officer, the guy who hit this kid and drove off had NASCAR plates with Jeff Gordon’s 24 logo on them.’ Well, fantastic! We only have a dozen or two states issuing NASCAR-themed plates! Should narrow it right down!

While I've never given a nanosecond of thought towards keying a car with an Obama bumper sticker.

That, in a nutshell, is the difference between us and them.
