For context: Stickermule sure had a hissie fit when Trump got grazed. But they sure don't seem to have any problems with it happens to anybody else.

Cops generally don't like these decals. Not because they might disagree with the statement, but because they might not recognize that it's a decal at first and wont want to risk being the one who let a kidnapper get away when they might want Hero Cop status. Bet this guy gets pulled over all the time.
When I'm driving, I really don't appreciate those hyper-realistic decals, stickers that depict the back door of the moving van being open. With shit and/or people inside. From a distance & at first glance, I look & see a security risk. I look closer & I'm like, what is this nonsense?? Oh. It's just a sticker.
And I can see pretty well; I am able to look closer & see it's not real. But what about people that can't see as well? Or aren't very intelligent but are allowed to drive anyway? There are plenty of those.
I just see a low-key shock/deception ad that could potentially induce panic. Not very smart. Shouldn't be legal, honestly.
You'd have to be incredibly stupid to not realize it's a decal. I mean like unable to get a driver's license, or hold a job levels of stupid. But there are other reasons to pull him over. It's a vulgar display in public. I wouldn't want my 5 year old kid seeing that on the way to school.
First, being too smart can get you barred from being a cop.
Second, I've seen pickup trucks pulled over for less realistic Halloween decorations then this.
