What you need are decals of Disneyland, your local PBS affiliate and such on the back window of your car (minivans work great) and you should notice a marked difference in the way you're treated.

Our local sheriff issues a sticker that indicates support (not sure if you get them by making contributions or just by being related) which are used on family cars that could come in handy.

The car I was in was a four door sedan, as plain as it comes. It has a "100 Club of Houston" sticker on the rear window (it was on the car when I bought it). The car was clean inside and out, I am clean cut and was dressed nicely. I was very polite in my conversation. Other than flashing a badge, I don't know what else would have kept me from being on that officer's hit list. He wanted to search my car and was going to do it one way or the other.
