We have analyzed the cm-wavelength flux and polarization observations of four active objects (3C 279, OT 081, BL Lacertae, and 3C 446) for which the data exhibit signatures of shocks. Common characteristics of these sources are: high degrees of polarization, large changes in the polarized flux during outbursts; and stable position angles of the electric vector over long periods.
