OTOH, “Courtesy Cards” are something different. This is what MLS was referring to. Not a normal P.B.A. card at all, it is something that an officer will have and be allowed to give out. Some departments frown upon this, but most understand that a fellow cop, or family member is given preferential treatment on the minor offenses. It is the way of the world. In the case of a Courtesy Card, all courtesy is extended to the bearer, assuming that they really should be showing the card in the first place. ( the daughter of a cop from two towns over? Sure. A friend of a cousin of a guy who used to be a cop? Nope ). It is not arbitrary. This courtesy is extended as a side-ways “thank you” to family members who have someone on the job.
Sound pretty much like what I was given. Nice to know that its actually usefull.
(after years of youthfull exuberance full of speeding tickets, its been 5-6 years since I’ve been pulled over, but its still nice to know just in case)
Oh wait. Your posts say you live in New Jersey.
Sorry. That card won’t do you a bit of good.
