    It’s not a good idea to put any sort of identity on your car since people don’t generally think nice things about the drivers they see on the road with them. One of my friends refuses to put a Jesus fish bumper sticker in case she cuts someone off or something and they get mad at God.

    Depending on where I’m the world you are, there is nothing that can be done. I at least know where I live in the US, I could put a sticker for something like l337x or Ru Tracker and the worst thing that could happen (without any links) is that someone keys off the stickers.

    Though I feel like I’d be more likely to be pressured by a police officer to remove the stickers for some bullshit made-up law that those stickers are in fact illegal (despite it only being a logo/name of the website).

    Also, just having a sticker might attract attention, but the people whose attention it tracks would need actual proof of anything wrong going on before they actually make a move.

    Wow, people here really hate bumper stickers. I think of them as a fun little bit of self expression that reminds me there are other humans in the road. I really don’t think the risk of getting your car keyed because of one is nearly as high as it’s being made out to be, and police using a bumper sticker as any sort of evidence seems pretty unlikely too. Do whatever you’re comfortable with of course, but I wouldn’t be too worried.

    with piracy in general, you don’t really want to be noticed, so… no. slap it on the back of a street sign or the front door of a cop shop.

    Car stickers are never a good idea, ever. Not only do they look ridiculous, they give random strangers access to important information about you and your life situation. Do not volunteer personal Information.

    And then there is the uniquely stupid prospect of a piracy car sticker. What in the fuck gave you the idea that is somehow a good addition to your car? The activity ranges from unsavory to straight up illegal depending on where you live, why would anyone advertise they are doing that irl?
