I mean it'll totally work to make the cops nicer to you, I've got a friend that has a state police sticker and they just let him go no matter what absurd shit he does.

On the other hand, your right to be a bit concerned, it's a great way to make absolutely no friends in Cambridge or Boston. I doubt you'd get key'd(people don't hate cops that much), but you'll definitely get some less than nice looks.

People definitely hate cops that much…spend some time in the communities that are harassed by the police and you’ll learn that very quickly. Having been the subject of harassment/brutality/profiling myself, I still try to give most cops the benefit of the doubt because I believe in humanity. I am proven wrong a discouraging amount.

Oh I mean the hate for cops is real and very well deserved. Lots of people have lots of good reasons to hate cops.

Its just I'd be pretty surprised if someone key'd a car just because of a cop sticker on it. Peoples hate for cops doesn't yet extend to vandalism of anything pro cop, or at least not commonly.

Yes thank you. I had a non Boston local PD sticker on my previous car and I noticed I get honked a lot more in Boston and Cambridge.
