It depends on your definition of rare and where you are located I guess. I’m on the road quite a bit In SW Ohio and have only seen a handful. Same thing with Tesla Plaids, although there are over 200 within 100 miles of Cinci, I’ve only seen a dozen or so. That could be considered rare to most of us.

Do you know that person? Is it not possible they sincerely appreciate their police?

I have a decal in my back window, showing my support for wounded and killed cops. I sent the money to help, not for the decal. What's my selfish, ulterior motive for my 'veteran' receiver hitch plug?

Police and military are the only two groups who make it their business to stand between me and malice.

I'm a 20 year military service veteran (my avatar on the forum might even be clue to those that know), partial disabled from it too and yes, every single person that I have ever met (and after a 20 year career, I've met a few) that felt the need to display it on their car has had an ulterior motive. That motive may not necessarily be selfish, but they were looking for something or some kind of special treatment.

Why not just donate to the cause and not brag about it?

The Esky is a V, which is bad ass!

But YOUR bragging in YOUR avatar is cool. Got it.

lol, except you (a supposed military veteran) didn't even know what the hell it was (and probably still don't without being told).
Little different than plastering "hey , look at me, I donated money " on the back of a car hoping for special treatment.

I think you missed who I was responding too, which should have been easy considering I quoted the person. (spolier , it wasn't the owner of the escalade V)

Never mind. You can't help it, can you?

Help what? Telling it exactly like it is??? I suppose I could help it, you know lie and white-wash everything with political correctness and all,,,,,but I choose not to.

The Escalade V above is cool / badass (hell, I'd love to have one myself), and its owner is 100% attempting to gain police favor/ leniency with speeding tickets. Which, driving an escalade V, I can see speeding tickets being a real concern. Not knocking him (or her), that's just human nature and the way the world works. Disagree with it all you want, doesn't change anything.

Might be something as simple as a person supporting a cause, and showing that support to make others aware of the non-profit, and encourage others to contribute.

Or they are friends with or a relative of a widow or widower, or orphans left behind when an officer was killed in the line of duty?

I suppose those are possible,,, be about as likely a scenario as:

-that one good lawyer getting a bad reputation because of the other 99% of lawyers that are bad.
-or that one honest politician that can't catch a break because of the other 99% of crooked politicians I suppose (what , neverminded, there isn't one honest politician, bad analogy).

Maybe this guy is the that one wealthy philanthropist that actually cares about a cause and is not just using his money donations to benefit him personally,,, oh wait, those guys (think people like the actor Keanu Reeves) don't advertise the fact that they donate.

I stand by my earlier statements, this is a guy that bought a special plate to gain favor/ leniency. No hate, its a solid plan that hurts no one/ has no victims, good on him.
