Are 20 + replys not enough discussion on the subject?

Was there a full moon this weekend? Allow me to summarize this:

It's always a good idea to do what we can as SSP enthusiasts to cast a positive light on our hobby. Covering/masking the police signage on marked cars is a smart thing to do, whether they are driven or hauled on an open trailer. There are several ways we can go in terms of accomplishing that, and some methods are better than others.

There is no such thing. A badge, by its' very definition, implies authority of some sort. That's why police officers display them.

In the interest of maintaining our philosophy here about encouraging healthy discussion about topics which are important to our hobby, I put on my Moderator hat and picked through the posts to edit out the hostilities and re-open the thread. This all boils down to a discussion about being repsonsible and doing what we can to cast our hobby in a positive light to the general public. We each have our own beliefs as to what goes far enough in terms of covering police lettering/logos, but that's OK to have a difference of opinion. At least we're talking about it.

Default Blank Magnet Sheet Source

FYI, if you are looking for blank white magnet sheets, check Staples. Today I found a package of four (8.5" x 11") sheets for under $10 (including tax). You can leave them blank or you can print on them using an Ink Jet printer (not laser compatible).
