A bit of a silly question, but do you anons think that your choice in decal or bumper stickers could reduce the chances of getting pulled over or increase the chance of them letting you off with a warning?

I'm sure we'd all agree there are many many decals that have the opposite effect. So what puts police employees in a good mood?
Admittedly I'd be surprised if it made much/any difference. The thing that makes me curious is when I'm at work (popular food delivery chain) and I have my branded topper on I swear I notice that cops are less interested in my car or driving. I have a radar detector and have definitely blown past some patrols with the gun scanning me during busy lunch rushes and have never gotten lit up on the job. Alternatively when im driving off work at the wee hours of the night I see squad cars casually follow me for awhile before going on their way, probably assuming im out buying drugs (usually the case)
I have a scion tc (which is already a statistically giant cop magnet) I bought when i was young dumb and full of fun and would get pulled over kinda regularly before I finally undid most of the juvenile ricey cosmetic alterations my younger self thought was cool

OP again, if this theory does have any merit I'd wager the Army mom ribbon, breast cancer ribbon (the mom is a nice touch but might scream bs in a millennial mobile like mine), and the Lyft/Uber stickers would be most effective
I'm most confident in the ride sharing logos because it offers a legitimate reason for you to be out on the road a plausible reason for slightly erratic driving as you might be looking for an unfamiliar address or wandering group of riders.
From what ive read about how to handle being pulled over the consensus is that unpredictability makes cops nervous and should be avoided if you want them on your good side (turning off the car, not activating the brake lights, keeping your hands on the wheel until they approach rather than digging for your license/registration in preparation). Offering ANY explanation for what you're up to is better than none no?

Police Lives Matter is probably the best one. The NRA one is alright unless you're some soverign citizen tool.

Get a sticker that also says "[organization you like in hopes to get empathy]"

This. Get a FOP emblem to mount in your back glass and you'll usually get a pass unless you're doing something seriously stupid

They probably follow you more when you're not working because it's the middle of the fucking night, not because you lack the company logo.
