What the heck are these things? On my daily commute, I must see about two dozen of the little (4"x4") stickers on various vehicles. My initial guess is Police Officer Support. I see most of them (it seems) on Pick-ups driven by middle aged men. Letely though I've been seeing them on numerious upper class cars, cars driven by women, and even lower class cars driven by kids (18- mid 20s).

The kids, like many, drive like ass-holes. The women... well, typical cell phone holding, latte drinking... but I digress..

What's the real scoop? Are these the latest "free to speed, run red lights, no ticket for me plee?

You have seen the rainbow flag flown by gay people? This is the flag for Asexuals.

Lately I've noticed a black - medium blue - black, arranged horizontally auto tag on many vehicles in the area around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Anyone know what this means?

The Black-Blue-Black design is usually seen on a policeman's personal car or family members car. It stands for the "thin blue line". There is also a similar one with a red strip for firemen.

The black-medium blue-black flag is actually a police mourning band. It is typically worn as a band across the badge when an officer is killed in the line of duty. I have seen it in use more frequently now as a bumper sticker, I believe this is probably a show of respect for the police officers killed on September 11th.
