Police union slashes number of ‘get out of jail free’ cards issued
https://nypost.com/2018/01/21/police-un ... ds-issued/
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association boss Pat Lynch slashed the maximum number of cards that could be issued to current cops from 30 to 20, and to retirees from 20 to 10, sources told The Post.
The cards are often used to wiggle out of minor trouble such as speeding tickets, the theory being that presenting one suggests you know someone in the NYPD.
The rank and file is livid.
“They are treating active members like s–t, and retired members even worse than s–t,” griped an NYPD cop who retired on disability. “All the cops I spoke to were . . . very disappointed they couldn’t hand them out as Christmas gifts.”

On Blue Bloods, they call them "courtesy cards". I think the idea is that they are supposed to be given to someone who snitches (you help us put a murderer away and we'll help you the next time you get a speeding ticket). But of course they are abusing it and just giving them to friends instead.

I remember Lenny from Law and Order was big on giving out get out of jail free cards.
