They still can help. Use it respectfully and most cops will honor it

Just curious how this goes,

Officer; Do you know why I pulled you over?
You; ?

Sorry, I was just holding my phone in my hand, I was not actually talking.

Officer: License and registration.

Me: I gave him my DL together with the PBA card, and he just threw them back to me giving me a warning..

It had the sergeants name and phone # on it.

That could backfire imo. Better to ask nicely for some courtesy and say ur relative is a cop etc...

Just got pulled over for running the stop sign at West Maple/Viola in Monsey. Gave cop my 2014 Rockland PBA card. He asked who have it to me; I truthfully told him it's from my cousin (he's a PBA lawyer). He let me off, but told me that I have to ask for a new card; the one I gave him expired.

Does anyone know about the silver card?

Got pulled over today by NY state police for doing 50 in a 35 mile zone. Gave them a PBA card, and after being grilled about how I know the guy and who he is, they let me off.

Nice - I haven't gotten pulled over too many times since I started carrying a PBA card about two years ago, but the 2-3 times I did, they let me off each time.

Me too. But this was the first time they grilled me, and it was obvious that they only let me off because of it.

PBA cards are essentially corruption.
