1. Where specifically do you see it?
I'm in NOVA, it doesn't ring any bells to me.

8. Ahhh....
So if I put one of these on my car, I can speed, huh? Will it cancel out my "F*ck the Police" Sticker?

6. A policeman's personal car/fallen officer
http://www.allstates-flag.com/fotw/flags/ufe-id.html

"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....


I think (I m not sure) it is flag of Konigsberg (modern Kaliningrad)..."
