Where do you keep your certificate? I have always read that if
stopped by the police on the road they have the right to "see" your
license (AOPA decal in rear window).

You need a pilot certificate when driving a car? Which country are you
from?
If you are talking about the USA then would you mind posting a pointer to
the relevant FAR paragraph?

Oh, and what about when you are selling the car to a non-pilot? Are you/is
he legally required to remove the AOPA sticker?

I'm not a pilot, but I keep my A&P in my wallet.

One thing they drilled into us during FAR's at A&P school is that any
law enforcement officer can ask to see the license.

That's right. _When_your_are_executing_the_privileges_of_this_li cense then
any law enforcement officer may request to see your license.
But since when do you need a A&P or a pilot certificate for driving a car?
Well, maybe for the car in "The Man with the Golden Gun", but otherwise?

First off, learn to properly snip.

2nd, I said that we were told in school that ANY law enforcement officer can
ask to see it. I never said when, I said ANY.
I can't speak for the pilot's certificate because I don't have one, but as
far as the mechanics certificate goes the FAR §65.105 states "Each person
who holds a repairman certificate shall keep it within the immediate area
where he normally exercises the privileges of the certificate and shall
present it for inspection upon the request of the Administrator or an
authorized representative of the National Transportation Safety Board, or of
any Federal, State, or local law enforcement officer".

I didn't say you had to have an A&P or pilot certificate to drive a car, did
I? Get real!
