I have heard a number of complaints about this product over the years, and in my opinion the item appeals to a particular mentality ... I am trying to think of a term for it that isn't way too coarse for this reflector. No success! Anyhow, it isn't a mentality we want to encourage or endorse.
True, nobody has to buy this product who disapproves of it, yet I wish there were a way we could drop the advertising for this phony piece of junk. 73
They've been around for at least a couple of years. I know we've had this discussion at least once before. To me it doesn't look much like a badge an authorized law enforcement official would carry. If you want one that looks more authentic there's any number of places you can get one. I have not heard of a complaint from a law enforcement agency.

This is an image problem. How long have these items been offered for sale? 73. Jim, W6CF Kay Craigie wrote: -
