MyspaceSheriff Bill Brown unveiled a new state-of-the-art helicopter at a ceremony Monday morning in Santa Ynez. The helicopter — refurbished with private donations — is outfitted to fight fires and is capable of a variety of law enforcement and emergency medical functions. Built in 1965, the Huey brings the number of choppers in the county’s Air Support Unit to six.

I've wondered for years if the private citizens who donate to the SB County Sheriff's fund for the purchase of expensive or out-of-budget items get a special pass when pulled over by Bill Brown's Finest out on the roads. I know a few people who have specail ID cards & even one guy with a smaller than normal sheriffs badge as a Citizen Volunteer
It's common knowledge that the CA Fire Fighters' Association sticker on the left, rear window of a vehicle works "magic" during a traffic stop, as do special license plate frames, & select "members only-type" stickers.
Does any of this happen here in SB County?
