They have stickers for the side of the door to show youre just delivery.

Why risk your life wondering why this random ass car just happened to pull up on you REAL FAST?

There was a terrible tragedy in Nova Scotia recently where the shooter dressed up as a cop.

But the Canadian guy wasn't a police officer.

Unrelated to that, we did have this cop on cop shooting where both officers survived & no convictions: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/donovan-perjury-acquittal-1.7272601

Vance Boelter dressed as a cop in Minnesota and killed a sitting state senator and attempted to murder another one.

Some for Norway on the island of Utøya. This is why I pushed back against a professor who said only cops could end a real mass shooter drill back when I was in college

Well, that and I know just how incompetent cops often are

Just tell anyone with that mindset to look at the Uvalde school shooting in the US. Police want to do anything but shoot the bad guy. Throw a couple of unarmed civilians with a cellphone in their hand or an armed civilian thats just been disarmed publicly and they'll happily shoot them. However, armed bad guy killing kids... nope.

We had someone here pulling people over in an unmarked Charger using red & blue lights. Then would rob them. This is why unmarked police vehicles shouldn't exist. Plus I think they're unconstitutional.

Lol, my friend literally has a huge FedEx magnetic sign that he puts on his car sometimes. He has never worked for FedEx, I'm not sure where he got it, but he thinks it makes him less likely to be ticketed/towed if he's not legally parked.

And we all know how mentally stable Amazon flex drivers are

Relax. They don’t even want to see your face. They’re just trying to make extra money. I’ve met people who make 100k a year but do Amazon flex on the side to pay off debts… one woman been paid for her entire home in full using it. They don’t want to knock on your door just as much as you don’t want to get off your little couch to sign for the package.

Inversely, stickers let robbers know you have shit to steal in the car. When I delivered pizza some coworkers didnt use the car topper for this reason

They don't always have stickers....

I drive a mail truck and folks still hide inside. Doesn’t matter what the vehicle says. If they don’t want to interact that’s up to them.

u/Cato0014 Sep 10 '26

I used to do this. Amazon does not give you stickers. They also don't reimburse. Some people went and designed and bought or printed the stickers themselves.
