What do those stickers/vanity plates with the blue horizontal stripe mean?
I usually see them on cars with other jingoistic slogans on them, so I'm sure it's not blue state or democrat. Has anyone seen these? It's a solid blue line over a black backdrop.

2. I do not know. But you reminded me that I see stickers on people's
cars that are, I believe, round or oval with a blue background and a yellow or gold equal sign "=" on them. I thought that was the Urban League, but I saw them all over the place during the last election season, so I'm not sure.

6. No, that's the equal rights sticker. It's a single blue line over black

3. Thin Blue Line = Cop or Cop-friend/realtive carrying a weapon.
It's sort of a signal that you've got a loaded weapon in the vehicle.
Our office manager seems to date only baliffs and sheriffs deputies. She's got 'em on her vehicle.
