Bill posted up a great link on page 1 that goes into all of this at length.
It is all about "image" and perception as it relates to this hobby. Door decals, meant as a "cover up", but with a badge on them, sends the wrong message. If you disagree with that opinion, you are certainly free to do so.

Just what is the wrong message being sent? My SSP, that is now a collector show car was at one time a police vehicle (nothing to be ashamed of in my book). So how does a sign with a small, slanted, generic badge image (with no words or numbers on the badge) send a wrong message? I'm just trying to follow your logic. Nothing personal intended (nor taken).
