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. 


Patriot Badge is an Automotive Recognition Emblem

It fits any Auto – No tools required

Displays your support for Law Enforcement

Reduces Traffic Stop Dangers for officers

Protects & Empowers Motorists

The Pledge

When you purchase and display the Patriot Badge you take a Pledge to:

·  Be respectful and courteous

·  Not to use any derogatory or foul language

·  Will not dispute the citation - use the court to dispute

·  Will have all documentation ready and available

·  Obey all Lawful requests

Officers will see the badge and recognize your support and your pledge.

Creates a safer traffic stop and mitigates dangers.

Reduces stress and anxiety for both the officer and the motorists.


·  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


Patriot Badge & the 4th Amendment Power Pack

·  Every Patriot Badge includes a Courtesy Documents Folder and Wallet “Rights” Card

·  The Folder and Card have a Written Statement of The  4th Amendment

·  The Statement presents your legal right to refuse unwarranted search, Thus protecting your rights



Under Article IV of the US Constitution we have the right to be secure in our persons, houses, papers and effects (automobiles) against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Therefore we respectfully ask that the officer uphold their pledge to defend our rights and therefore we respectfully refuse any request to search.

Police Officers Oaths

Officers Do NOT take Oaths to:

·  Write as many Citations as possible

·  Misuse or abuse their power

They DO take Oaths to:

·  Serve and Protect

·  And protect your Constitutional Rights


Patriot Badge is Easy to Install!

Affix Patriot Badge to your car's License Tag or back end via its adhesive back, or by using the license plate screw.


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.
