jan 21 2018 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.

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.

“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.”

A source said Lynch ordered the cutback to stop the sale of the cards, which were being hawked on eBay last week for as much as $200.

PBA cards have been a thing in New York City for awhile. It may seem like nothing since they only get you out of minor offenses like speeding tickets, but poor people are locked up all the time for unpaid fines. It's the well connected gaining special privilege to break the law, while us nobodies get slapped with a ticket that some are unable to pay.

I’ve got a novel idea! Maybe they should just follow the laws.
