Thin Blue Line Sticker
The Thin Blue Line is a symbol in use in the United States by law enforcement officers and others. The purpose of the symbol is a topic of debate. The conceptual "Thin Blue Line" is derived from the historical Thin Red Line. The ability to break traffic laws with impunity has led some non-police to use thin blue line bumper stickers. Some purveyors have responded by restricting their sale to people giving their department phone number and badge number. This has the effect of either preventing non police from showing their support of police or preventing non-police from getting out of traffic tickets, depending on which theory one believes. Police have attempted to prevent non-police from using such stickers in order to support the police / get out of tickets by supporting laws that stop anyone but a LEO from displaying such stickers, but these laws have been struck down.
