Have you ever experienced cops giving you different treatment as they find out you are an attorney? Have you ever got out of a ticket by pulling that card? :P

I usually just have my license plate frame on my car with my school name followed by law school. Cops are less annoying I find and don’t bother running my plates as much since I have out of state plates. Huge problem for me with MD license plates while living in Boston.

How would they find out that you are an attorney unless you tell them? It won’t come up when they pull up your records.

If you tell them, I imagine it will be seen as an attempted flex and will go over poorly.

I completely disagree. Have you tried it? It has been helpful when I have mentioned it prior to them asking.

Hmmmm…. I got pulled over the other day for an expired license plate. I told him I was on the way to an interview, and it came up that I was an attorney. He let me go despite that being my second warning so maybe?? Lol

When I was a prosecutor, absolutely
