"The city’s police-officers union is cracking down on the number of “get out of jail free” courtesy cards distributed to cops to give to family and friends.
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."
I think the limit on the number of these cards a cop should have should be zero. Any cop who gives preferential treatment to a family member of a cop (or another cop, or a politician, etc.) should be prosecuted for corruption. This practice really undermines citizens' trust in the police (and in the city government, which apparently tolerates it).
