I'm Todd Morgan, founder of Patriot Badge. After years of development and endorsements, we are excited to announce our Badges are now available to the public and we are launching our Grand Opening through Indiegogo. The Patriot Badge Power Packs are something that hit very close to home for me. I had a dear friend and police officer who was conducting a regular highway speeding citation. The offender was unprepared and was fiddling around in his glove compartment. The officer became startled, thinking he was reaching for a weapon. As he jumped back, he was hit by a tractor trailer and was killed. All of these actions could have been mitigated with a product like ours. I too also have experienced the tension and fear during traffic stops, so I decided to create a product that helps protect and empower both citizens and law enforcement. ![]()

·
A Traffic Stop is a very intimidating and
dangerous experience
·
Officers must quantify the danger of each
traffic stop
·
Displaying your support badge greatly reduces
those concerns
·
Most motorists are totally unprepared for a
Traffic Stop
·
Having to search for your documentation it
creates concerns & takes time
·
Officers don’t know if you’re reaching for documentation
or a weapon
·
Utilizing the Courtesy Document Folder reduces
those concerns
·
This is a show of both professionalism and
respect
·
That respect is returned and greatly appreciated
·
This also reduces the time the officer is
exposed to dangerous passing cars

By donating to this campaign and
displaying the Patriot Badge Emblem you are doing the following:
Peace of mind in
knowing you are recognized as an informed and empowered Patriot Citizen aware
of your rights.
Peace of mind and
a confidence that if you are stopped in your vehicle that you are equipped with
the knowledge and tools to exercise your rights.
Peace of mind that
in the event that your spouse, daughter, son or other family member is pulled
over they will also be recognized and equipped with the tools to exercise their
rights.
Peace of mind in
knowing that if your rights are violated you have recourse in the courts
because you presented a written statement not giving permission for search of
your vehicle or person without probable cause that could lead to Unlawful
Detention.
Peace of mind if
entering into Illegal roadside check points with either Police or illegal out
of jurisdiction unauthorized agents, employees of other agencies; i.e.; TSA,
DHS, or Military violating Posse Commentates.
Peace of mind for
the officer that they know you are not intimidated and will behave in an adult
and professional manner obeying all of their requests in a polite manner. That
you will not argue with or ridicule the officer and you understand the risk
they take in a roadside traffic stop and you respect and appreciate their
service.
Peace of Mind for
the officer in knowing they are not endangering themselves by pulling over an
anxious, fearful, uninformed or untrained motorist that might make an
irrational decision or action that could endanger both. Fear leads to
irrational behavior and that leads to irrational actions. They will know
they will be shown respect and if the motorist does not agree with the actions
of the officer or the citation the motorist will take that up with the courts
and not with them.
Most importantly
the officer will know that if they attempt to violate the motorist’s rights or
act in an unprofessional manner that the motorist at a minimum will file a
complaint and may seek any and all legal actions both criminal and civil.

Q. How do I display Patriot Badge?
A. Patriot Badge can be affixed to your license tag or
rear of your automobile.
Q. Is Patriot Badge made in America?
A. Yes, All Patriot Badge products are proudly made in the
USA.
Q. Is Patriot Badge legal to display?
A. Yes, Patriot Badge is legal all 50 States
Q. Do Police Officers appreciate the Patriot Badge
Pledge?
A. Yes, many have expressed their appreciation for the
support and respect.
Q. Do some Police officers have resentment for you
presenting your rights?
A. Most Police are Patriots and take their Oath to
protect your rights seriously. However there may be some that do not and this
is exactly why you present your written statement; you should exercise your rights.
Q. Why do I refuse a search if I have nothing to hide?
A. Great question, but it has nothing to do with having
nothing to hide. Being searched without cause is a violation of one of our most
basic human rights. It is your choice, but if you have nothing to hide then why
would allow a search?
Q. Will police get mad if I refuse a search and
retaliate?
A. Most Police will not resent your refusal and respect
your decision. However there may be some bad Police that could be offended, but
this again is why we present our written refusal, if they get mad, too bad.
Q. What do I do if I refuse a search and the Officer
proceeds and searches me?
A. If you refuse their request to search and they continue,
you allow. At no time do you resist or lose your temper. This is extremely
important - if at any time you resist or use threatening language you will lose
your moral high ground and could be arrested. If the officer proceeds and there
is no probable cause, you can take legal action. If the officer is found guilty
of violating your rights they could be subject to both civil and criminal
penalties.
Q. Could Patriot Badge be misused to hide criminal
activity?
A. Maybe, but if there is sufficient probable cause they
could be searched anyway.
Q. Could and officer assume by displaying Patriot Badge
you may be intending to hide something?
A. Maybe, but again if there is probable cause then you
may be subject to search.
Q. Does displaying my support actually make me a target?
A. Another great question. Each officer uses their own
discretion as to who is a potential threat. So does Patriot badge make you a
target? No because you are not only displaying your support for law enforcement,
but also that you are empowered with the tools to exercise your rights.
Q. Will Patriot Badge help me avoid a traffic citation?
A. There are many ways to avoid a traffic citation. First
is to obey all traffic rules, but occasionally we may violate those rules. We
know by stats that about 44% of traffic stops end up with citations. Police
have great discretion in issuing citations and one thing is for sure, If you
act rudely, use fowl language and do not show respect, you’re going to get a
ticket. However by displaying your support, taking The Pledge, showing respect,
being courteous and honest, your chances of a little professional courtesy will
be greatly increased.
