I think it would be very unwise to show such a thing to a real police 
officer.  But it might be useful to avoid unwanted attention from a 
rentacop (but definitely not with a real agency name, logo, seal or 
anything else, to avoid any perceived violation of 18 U.S.C. § 506(a)(2) 
<http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/506.html>).
