sorry, its quite possibly over, this thread, but I want to clarify something on page two there - namely, the Christian Cross is not to be associated with the swastika and its occult beginnings. It should be relatively obvious why the Christian Cross is a simple cross and the swastika is a 'broken cross'... and look up the translation of swastika if you're wondering. simple really.

The Teutonic cross is derived from teh Christian one from the time of the first crusade and the subsequent setting up of the Teutonic Knights order. similar to the Templars and the Maltese order (who gave us the St. Johns Amb. Service). The Teutonics settled in the Gothic (Germanic) territories and so the cross carried down.

so anyway, please get stopped again, and if you do, PLEASE point out your symbol is an artistic representation of the Cross of Christ established around 900-1000AD and the only race you are racist against is the 'inbred stupid plank' race of policeland.

Is that a Banksy stencil to the right of the Iron Cross on your car Dry?

The Iron Cross, sometimes mistakenly called the Maltese cross, is a military decoration of the Kingdom of Prussia, and later of Germany, which was established by King Frederick William III of Prussia and first awarded on 10 March 1813 in Breslau (now Wrocław). In addition to the Napoleonic Wars, the Iron Cross was awarded during the Franco-Prussian War, the First World War, and the Second World War.

The Iron Cross has not been awarded since May 1945 and is awarded only in wartime. It is normally a military decoration only — though there were instances of it being awarded to civilians for performing military functions. As an example, the civilian pilot Hanna Reitsch was awarded the Iron Cross First Class by Adolf Hitler for her bravery as a test pilot and was one of only two women awarded the Iron Cross First Class during World War II.

The Iron Cross originally was the symbol of the Teutonic Knights (a heraldic cross pattée), and the cross design (but not the specific decoration) has been the symbol of Germany's armed forces (now the Bundeswehr) since ca. 1870.

Adolf Hitler restored the Iron Cross in 1939 as a German decoration (rather than Prussian as in earlier versions), continuing the tradition of issuing it in various grades.

Although still an active decoration, the Iron Cross is solely a wartime decoration and has not been awarded since the end of the Second World War. Further, German law prohibits the wearing of a swastika, so in 1957 the West German government authorized replacement Iron Crosses with an Oak Leaf Cluster in place of the swastika, similar to the Iron Crosses of 1813, 1870, and 1914, which could be worn by World War II Iron Cross recipients.

The Iron Cross was used as the symbol of the German Army until 1915, when it was replaced by a simpler Greek cross. However, on 1 October 1956 the President of Germany, Theodor Heuss, gave directions to use the Iron Cross as the official emblem of West Germany's Bundeswehr. Today, after German reunification, it appears in the colours blue and silver as the symbol of the "new" Bundeswehr. This design does not replace the traditional black Iron Cross, however, but can be found on all armoured vehicles, tanks, naval vessels, planes, and even UAVs of today's German forces.

The Iron Cross is often worn by certain members of the biker community, originally worn not because of its Nazi connotations but more as a sign of rebellion but today is perceived as a symbol of honor, valor, strength and standing up for one's beliefs.

The Simpsons character Abraham Simpson claims to have won the Iron Cross medal during World War II, for mistakenly directing US trucks into German minefields.

Triple H of World Wrestling Entertainment is known for wearing the Iron Cross on his trunks or on his shirts.

No mention of VW peeps using them...so perhaps the cop is confused by the Wiki....haha. Ok so it is linked with Nazi Germany and people who aren't clued up might associate it with that first. Risk you take having them on your car I guess....but there isn't really anything wrong with them as they don't carry the Nazi symbol. So keep them on if you like.

keep the stickers, print that lot out and keep it in your glove box, then give them a lecture.

Maybe he got confused between the VolksPartei and VolksWagen.

Section 5 Public Order Act 1986

(1) A person is guilty of an offence if he—

(a) uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or

(b) displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,

within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby.

(2) An offence under this section may be committed in a public or a private place, except that no offence is committed where the words or behaviour are used, or the writing, sign or other visible representation is displayed, by a person inside a dwelling and the other person is also inside that or another dwelling.

(3) It is a defence for the accused to prove—

(a) that he had no reason to believe that there was any person within hearing or sight who was likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress, or

(b) that he was inside a dwelling and had no reason to believe that the words or behaviour used, or the writing, sign or other visible representation displayed, would be heard or seen by a person outside that or any other dwelling, or

© that his conduct was reasonable.

Unfortunately the police can pull you over to check documents without any other reason. This is how many "real criminals" are caught.

And I love the way this thread has been reduced to stereotyping "the police" as uneducated and thoughtless. Grow up and get over it. Read a bit of the law and defend yourself, rather than coming on an internet forum declaring "fuck da police."

I cant believe the police [over] reacted like this.

God forbid they ever came to a bike rally - pretty much everyone wears the iron cross logo in one form or another

WCC is one company that springs to mind like this
