Searching aimlessly through Ebay this morning and found it interesting that a 2004 MPA sticker was there. I know almost everything somehow shows up on Ebay, but on this one instance there were 19 bids, with the highest bidder so far at $81.00. Are you kidding me? Seems a bit steep to me. Just my

On Mar-04-04 at 13:37:01 PST, seller added the following information:

lawman5602@aol.com provided this information: The Mass Police Association does not allow the MPA sticker to be displayed by any person other then a Police Officer and the sticker is a registered trade mark. Massachusetts Law forbids this and is a violation and fine to go with it.

HA!

Yeah don't buy patches off Ebay from him either. He sold me 4 patches that were listed as new but showed up used

Then he charged me 3.25 to ship them from Millis MA to Taunton MA. STAY AWAY FROM HIM.

I reported him to Ebay customer service anyway, along with a link to MGL 266 69.

Honestly though, who cares. I don't let my guard down when i see a decal and unless they can come up with who gave them the decal they get gigged and gigged hard.

P.S. How many people on this board bidded on this decal!!

When I can get one from my union rep for 80 bucks less.... no thanks now make that 90 bucks less......

I also saw a 4 set of Mass State Police Decals selling on Ebay. LAst time I saw the price was up to about $30.00.

Posted by: Brian823

I wonder if E-Bay would remove these items - since authorized people can get them through proper channels - the only purpose to sell them on e-bay would be to supply them to an unauthorized person. Maybe e-bay would invalidate the auctions?

I've confiscated numerous stickers from people...."It was on the car when I bought it" or "My friend is an officer but I don't wanna give you his name." (guy had sticker and radar detector -thought it was a little odd..)

Its not like stickers have ever stopped me from issuing a V anyway......I would like to catch the little bastard with the "pissing on SPAM" sticker though...whoever has that on his ride must expect a little "extra attention"!

Posted by: Irishpride

Killjoy,

Do you think its possible that the "SPAM" in the sticker is referring to mass internet mail (maybe even that delicious canned meat) and not you union?

Posted by: Killjoy

Not sure....maybe the people who made the sticker are of the same intelligence as the idiots that make the sticker "bad cop, no donut", or other such stickers likely to attract the whimsical sense of humor of most law enforcement officers.....

Posted by: Gil

I love that "bad cop no donut" sticker because it's always affixed to shit box with at least three violations that jump right out at ya.

I'm sure the "little bastard" doesn't even know what SPAM means other than the two previously mentioned.

And.....my originally post was not of concern that the sticker was for sale....it was that someone is willing to pay now $86.00 !!!

Wow, 91 dollars for an MPA sticker. Anyone willing to make me an offer for my sticker?

Posted by: Southside

Jsg,

This one is not about the internet.....These are some stickers

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3901968882

Looks like someone is going to decorate their car with MSP Stickers.

Posted by: MARINECOP

The MPA needs to start keeping track of those stickers if they ever want them to really mean anything. I see those stickers on cars at the junk yard and used car lots

. The numbers on those sticker should be some type of tracking number, so if the sticker is misused that member can be booted out of the MPA.

You could buy one of the Trooper badge decals at Andrea's Police Supply for $2.00 not too long ago. 2020, I agree w/you. That was my first thought, what would a Canuck have against the SPAM?

I emailed the guy, and told him about C266 S69, and here's what I got as a response:

"[My real name], as you can see you must represent that you are a member!!! Collecting such an item is not illegal. I believe enough people don't sell/trade these. It sounds as though you may collect some law enforcement items or you wouldn't be concerned. I would imagine you may not like not being able to obtain items you collect!

Thanks for your concern.

Well he is smart, he didn't show the number at the bottom of the sticker. That way he could be traced. Every sticker has a number that is recordered when they assign it to you. I know my dept writes your name next to the corrosponding number when they give them out. If we could find that number then we could write the person who bought it a $91 cite. I know its a long shot. Just make sure you are asking for back up id when you see the stickers out there.

Posted by: SRRerg

Always ask for the ID, tins and stickers are too easy to obtain.

Having a MPA sticker on your car doesn't prevent you from getting pulled over. Obviously the moron who bought it for $91.00 thinks so......

Posted by: JoninNH

Same type of moron who drives around NH with the NH Chiefs of Police Association bumpersticker and expects a break.

"Officer, did you see my bumper?"
"I did."
"Theres a Chiefs of Police sticker on it."
"So there is," silence from the left seat. "Are you telling me you're a police chief?"
"Well, no but... uh, I, uh"
"Then hand me your license and registration."

I informed the MBTA Police a few years back that a T PD license plate was up for auction and even informed eBay that they were selling plates that belong to an active Police Department. They were not concerned and did not void the auction..and I never heard from the T PD for any more information.

It's quite amazing what's sold on eBay...if you want it..it's out there!

Ditto, all depts are supposed to. It stinks that they are common but for the most part seem to usually be legit and are officers or family members.
