I've ALWAYS had my name plastered all over my rigs (it IS my business after all)...and I've never of anyone encountering such LEO nonsense.
I have heard of LEO's asking for CCB#'s, which are supposed to be on all forms of business advertising (including vehicles)
...maybe it's a big city, East coast thing. Glad to be out West.

Personally I don't go for stealth at all. When I'm on a road trip I generally have my kayak on the roof, and soon I'll be mounting a huge solar panel and solar shower. I also have tinted, sliding camper windows on the sides. My rig screams "I'm in here!"

Spirituallifetime said:Business vehicles fall under a different category in traffic stops by law enforcement, they are not private vehicles and can therefore be stopped to be check for permits and be inspected for road safety at any time! An unmarked private van law enforcement must have specific reason to do a traffic stop, they can't do a random stop on it.

The ultimate technology would be the SEP Field (it was in one of Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide" books.) Thousands of races throughout the galaxy had tried for millennia to develop invisibility, but none were able to pull it off. Then someone invented a much easier and simpler approach: The SEP Field (Somebody Else's Problem.) The field emanated by the SEP generator affected the perception of the observer... anything, no matter how outrageous and noticeable, would just be considered Somebody Else's Problem and ignored.
