Abstract

The tactical ID visor and visor attachment enables individuals, particularly law enforcement personnel to review items held thereon while maintaining a line of sight to a suspect/location. The visor attachment can be made of transparent plastic having clips for holding ID'"'"'s, vehicle registrations, etc. Lights are provided so that items can be read without interfering with the line of sight of law enforcement personnel.
