Default CHP

hey guys, was wondering if any of you know how to obtain a CHP license plate holder. It says 11-99 foundation on it i believe. i saw 1 on a 745Li the other day at work and also today on a lambo on the freeway. i think you have to donate money to the "foundation" and the CHP gives you mad breaks on tickets. but yea...any of you guys know more about this, please share.

You can donate to the NY coppers, and you get a sticker for your car. I wonder how much of a break you actually get??

I know this sounds stupid... but I have plates on my car with the LAPD radio ID code on them. Looks like a random/letter combo, but any cop knows the ID from it being broadcast on the radio all the time. Had a friend provide them for me.

Get a FOP sticker. You can't get a FOP plate unless you ACTUALLY belong to the Fraternal Order of Police. (edyt: And, you CAN'T join FOP unless you are employed as a police officer w/arrest authority.) I have a sticker on my D2 and although I can't say 4SURE that it got me out of TWO tickets (they may have let me go witha warning w/o the sticker, I suppose), but I was pulled over TWICE and let go with my "sorry-officer-I-wasn't-paying-attention-to-how-fast-I-was-going" line. Which was true, because, how much time DO you spend watching the speedo, huh? NEway, once I get my GSA Security Officer's cert, and get on a GSA contract (my p/t job is in physical security, btw), I'm going for teh FOP license plate. Some P/O's don't care, some do. $35.00 for the sticker vs. possible a $200.00 ticket... I've gambled on less, with more... (I think the plate runs $125.00, btwn dues and "special" tags fees, here in MD)

where do u get them?
goto: http://www.grandlodgefop.org/lodges/index.html and click on your state (for you out-of-towners, i'm sure your country has a similiar entity/function, somewhere. I could tryN track it down for you if your Google-bar is broken. lemmee kno) you'll find contact information (phone, email, website). contact them and find out about how to become a supporter. $35.00 smackeroos'll gitcha a sticker that you can PROUDLY display where john-law'll see it as he walks up fillin out yer ticket. Once he sees it he'll probably apologize for bothering you... pay YOU some $$ for teh inconvience of stopping you... AND, give you a police escort to wherever you happened to be going... At least, that's what usually happens to me
