The most honorable thing would be for all of us to get fakes so that the people who think they're buying their way out of tickets just waste their money and the corrupt organization that sells those frames gets nothing.
That's not the same thing at all. Claiming recognition for honorable military service is nothing like claiming membership in a corrupt organization for the purpose of flouting the law. Last I checked the armed services didn't sell license plate frames with a wink and a nod that you wouldn't get tickets if you buy one.

Not supporting that the frames be used by anybody really. But find it offensive that somebody would lay claim to doing something that they did not. The money raised by the real thing does go to a noble cause (whether people like the cops or not) so at least the douches that paid for the real thing are helping no matter what their intentions were. The bloody frames should not exist for anybody.
Don't think it maters anyway because from all the reading I just did on the subject the sales of the fakes has pretty much destroyed any belief that the cops had in the things anyway.
I can go online right now and buy 1,000 different "I am a vet" items. No the military doesn't have an arraignment for them but people that never served a minute do buy and use them all the time. It is not the source of the materials that offends me it is the people that use it.
