Quote HistoryQuoted: Funny story - Back when I was a local LEO, I saw a car blow thru a stop sign near a school, which was dismissing. Initiated traffic stop. Out of state tags......New York tags, to be exact. Info comes back negative stolen, blah blah blah. I get out of my car to see wtf this dude is thinking, and I'm met with the occupant holding a badge and just looking ahead. An NYPD badge. I tell him - "ok, cool. I need your license and registration please". NYPD cops jaw drops and he gets dickish with me. He tells me that "up north, cops don't pull over other cops".  I told him we do things differently here down south, and he just starts grumbling to himself. I gave him a ticket. Not because he was a dickhead trying to use his badge to get out of a ticket, but because he could have actually fucking killed a kid. Moral of the story? Fuck your "courtesy". If you endanger others, you deserve what you get. You deserve it even more if you have a badge, because you enforce the very laws you just fucking broke. ETA: I was not well-liked by my peers due to this mentality.  I had the last laugh though- I moved on to nuke land and my starting pay was more than the brass at my old agency.   We can hang out. Lead by example. Cops are some of the worse drivers around here. I drive a schoolbus. |

Before my move here, I was over here getting stuff ready for my move.
Nice lady at rental company gave me an upgrade to a huge SUV. It was so quiet that I found myself hitting 90mph thinking I was doing 70mph. Anyway - late afternoon I find myself on a laser straight 2 lane through a desert environment. I can see to the horizon for miles behind and in front - nobody else around. So, I let the speed creep up. Eventually found a "pimped" suv in front - illegally dark tints, gaudy alloy wheels etc Overtook at about 70mph. Gradually left it behind. 10 mins later it appears behind out of nowhere - just as I said to myself "Hmm I wonder is it a cop" - it lit up like a Christmas tree. He approached. Pointed out 100+ mph. I showed remorse and understood he had a job to do but pointed to horizon 10 miles in every direction with no other car or house and smooth straight road etc. He explained that up to 99 was a ticket. 100 and over was arrest and jail overnight then court in morning in that State ! I said that was embarrassing for a foreign retired cop moving to the US. He explained the stop was logged so he had to do something. Recorded it as 80 instead of 100+ and gave me option of 1 day drivers school. Which was very nice of him. I learned so much on that one day of school that I took the AZ drivers license written test with no further study - and passed first time. And drive a bit less playfully now........ Edit - human nature to "help" those you feel "deserve" help. Exists in every walk of life. Whether its helping your kid or a friends kid at a job interview by making a call to a friend in high places. Or a golf club member giving the contract to another member over other tenders. Or making a call to help your kid get a college place Etc etc etc Very few have never "helped" another person.................... |

There is no speed limit on the NYS Thruway if you have a family member who is a New York State Trooper. Lots of courtesy catch and release among LEO's and their families.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My uncle was a high level mason and active in veteran's organizations. He had a deck of courtesy cards thicker than his wallet. He was pulled over a few times while I was with him. He always had a card from the Sheriff or the Chief. He passed this Saturday morning at 95. I miss him terribly and I'm not the only one. Am I the only one that read that as the guy literally passed you going 95? I need to to get out of the house I think. |

I get a lot of these cards. Some are fancy, a few are actually metal. Never used one. Never had to.

Story is rumored the man blew his horn and was pulled over for it. I guess gives you the right to storm out of your car towards the officer if you’re a judge. Glad the officer has restraint. I can see why the judge is mad but he shouldn’t have got out and had that demeanor about approaching the officers car.

Dunno about cards, but a friend of mine got pulled over by a local department some years back. Got ticketed. After receiving the ticket, he inquired about his ex-neighbor, who worked for the same department. The officer was visibly unhappy about ticketing him, being a friend of the other officer and asked why he didn't tell him that sooner. My friend told him because he figured he deserved the ticket and wasn't trying to get out of it.
Apparently, the guy called my friend's ex-neighbor immediately and told him what happened and apologized. Dude told him not to worry about it and called my friend, laughing his ass off. Guess he and the other officer didn't get along so well and he was worried my friend's ex-neighbor was going to get mad over it. He IS a big dude, but not the type to get uptight over anything so trivial. So, no cards or nothing, but I'm pretty sure he could have name dropped and got out of the ticket. |

Former Sheriff in my area "deputized" friends and donors. They all got Sheriff ID cards and badge. A lot of my friends got them. Personally, I didn't get one and probably wouldn't carry it anyway. My feeling is trying to use it on the wrong PO could make things worse for you. My understanding is the new Sheriff didn't continue the practice.

It's corrupt to give/have the cards/plates/badges/etc Either apply the same discretion across the board or not at all. There would be no use for the corruption gang cards Would military folk who hand their ID over with their DL etc also be complacent in it? Considering their military ID has jack and dick to do with the actual stop. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: CoC #6 ~Subnet Please cite any local, state, or federal law that explicitly allows for the creation and distribution of courtesy cards. You can choose from literally any city, county, or state in the entire country. I'll wait Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: How about not being fucking corrupt?

Alrighty then. CoC #6 ~Subnet Please cite any local, state, or federal law that explicitly allows for the creation and distribution of courtesy cards.

Wait till you find out about business cards! |

Perhaps it is numbers, but I know I made a $300ish donation to a pet project of my chief of police last year, and the next month I got a $300 ticket for not mowing my yard - so it did not work well for me. FWIW, because of that @#$@#$ ticket I am in the process of moving and have drastically cut all donations to bastards in this town.
The ticket was the result of a push by the city council. They did a survey a few months afterwards to see how pleased the town was for their efforts to keep it beautiful. They refused to publish the results, only to say they were quite negative and contained a number of threats. —- My favorite was a proposed “courtesy card” system for handling certain speeding tickets. You would pay up front for the cards, so when you got stopped, you could hand one over and avoid it going on your record. It was prepaid citations. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: His strawman was equating veteran license plates that have gone through a state's congressional voting process to institutionalized corruption by way of distributing courtesy cards Should it be illegal for a less qualified person to be hired over a more qualified person - because they know the boss, owner, county commissioner, etc? Should it be illegal for me to go into the county permit office and get my permit approved quicker, because the office manager is one of my good friends mom? Should it be illegal for Trump to fire more qualified appointees and appoint less qualified ones based on the personal politics of the individual? Life isn’t fair, never was, never will be. It’s up to you to develop connections that benefit you in life. “But it shouldn’t be this way!” Oh? The perfect theoretical works doesn’t exist. And howling about but it should will get you no where. Being an anti-social, autistic GD poster, “I hate people” personality will work against you in real life. Just being personable, affable, confident and willing to interact positively with people in daily life can take you far. |
