Can any lawyers answer this:

If the person driving that vehicle did end up running someone over, and had that sign in the window, would they get an elevated charge?

To me, that sort of thing is like premeditation, and it would be extremely hard for me to believe that an “accident” led to them killing someone with their vehicle.

Not a lawyer, but I think stuff like this is a minefield. The defense would try to get it thrown out as prejudicial and without the suspect testifying all they could do is show a picture to an officer of it who affirms that he saw it on the car and enter it into evidence, but they could only indirectly talk about it in opening and closing because nobody can personally testify about the motivations behind the sticker.

Sounds like one of those "no lives matter" militant extremist white supremacists.
