I don't have the answers to everything you may ask but I'll do my best (this especially applies to laws in other states although I've often referred to another state's law to find an answer for someone, because I know law can be hard to read/interpret). At the very least I can give you the LEO point of view. Some things we do may make no sense until you hear why we do it.

I've only got one rule.
Rule #1 this thread is not to bash cops. If this turns into a cop bashing thread, or someone trying to start an argument I will shut it down. I hope that doesn't happen,

As a PR guy, I think you've taken an interesting rout to engage your "stakeholders" and, possibly, deliver a few key messages of your own. Reaching out is a good thing.

Having said that, I've never had any issues with our uniformed brothers/sisters. But I am curious as to whether driving the type of car I do attracts a bit more attention than others.
