something about this sticker drew me to it

as a lover of true crime, mysteries, detectives, spies, and heists

i might have a use for this one day

maybe i should put it in my wallet

just in case.

    • it is so very true, but with my love of true crime and sleuthing and being an active activist ,and a sometimes illegal parker, all give me reason to keep that handy. yes, that is so funny that people ask that question, thinking they’ll out themselves, they say no, and then immediately arrest the person who asked. )

  20. I love Mark’s comment. I always smirk when that line comes up in a show or movie…’hey are you a cop?’. Seems so duh. I’d like to think you’d have no need for a ‘you’ve gotta tell me’ sticker, Miss Beth…but maybe you have a secret, nefarious side??? 😜❤️😜

    • i do love sleuthing, but wouldn’t make a good detective, as i would be too afraid of the criminals, have startle response, don’t want to own a gun, and am non-violent. i like solving the puzzle of a crime and am fascinated by the human story behind it. i do feel like i will need this sticker at some point. plus my other hobby of activism may require this info as well.

  27. Based on what happened in Minnesota in June 2025 with a man impersonating a police officer and murdering a state legislator and her husband and wounding another legislator and his wife, this sticker really hits home. Throw in Operation Metro Surge with masked ICE agents in Minnesota and the fatal shootings of two Minnesotans, and this doubly hits home.
