Quoted:
My sister sent me a "State Law Enforcement Supervisors Association" safety card. She is a sworn officer and mid level supervisor in her department. The state she works in is on the opposite coast. Should I bother carrying this card? Will it get me any slack with local LE? I don't drive like an ass and haven't gotten a ticket in years, but you never know.

Buy a cheap nylon wallet with a picture window
Place card in window Make extreme show of opening said wallet every time you pay for something so that the person has no choice but to see it Enjoy police discount, officer!

Are you going to present this card when you're stopped? Hell, I have a badge and don't present it, but I sure hope they see it when I go for my license.
Anyway, it will not matter and presenting might be interpreted as a douche move depending on the cop. |

This, trying to name drop or exert some kind of professional courtesy is an automatic ticket from me. And I don't really write tickets unless it's a real safety concern like running me off the road or something. |

My thing is this, looking out for family is one thing. These little "trinkets" for family to show are silly. Look at New Jersey cops, they literally put golden trophies with 3 suction cups in the front windshields of their family members vehicles. And the family members make an effort to point it out when stopped. If you get stopped, professional courtesy starts with the driver being stopped. But if you slide the card out and say, "does this make a difference?" It may not go over so well. I can only speak for my area, mot cops won't write a cop's family member up unless it's something more serious than an infraction. But the thin blue line stickers and other shit has become so abused, it's out of control. I stopped a kid one night with all kinds of violations, dead tags, dead registration, moving violations, etc. I ask why he has a blue line on the car. His response, "My girlfriend's dad is a defense intelligence contractor." The sheer amount of "I'm associated with..." shit needs to stop. |

I guess it must be regional, a lot of police post stuff here that sounds like complete nonsense, but you hear it enough that there must be differences based on where you live.

It must be because when I hear the stories about the NYPD for example, I was shocked at first because it doesn't even begin to describe my experiences down here. Most agencies here are not union either and I think that leads to different attitudes and approaches in LE. |

So some have said that my PBA type card will only help if I'm dealing with an officer in the same department as my relative.
I think if I got caught doing something by one of my sisters officers they might cut me less slack. After all I can't claim ignorance to the law. And, my sister would be pissed I was screwing up on her turf. And, I think she would not want to give the impression of using her influence unfairly. |

A lot of cops will give breaks to family members of cops they work with or who are somehow connected or close by agencies etc. You don't need a card for that. I don't think it is going to help you half way around the country though. |
