Anyone have PBA cards or some thing similar they want to sell

[Sammyonetwo]

Can be any type that can get away with tickets.

No

I know of times when it did work for 2 or 3 people. But that card was given out by someone higher up then a standard cop.

And the cop that pulled over the guy made sure that he really got the card from that person and didn't get it from a friend or something.

I got one from a cop and got away from a ticket twice.

Depends what type of card/badge, depends what you did wrong and depends on the mood of the cop. But in general it helps at least a little.

I can tell you numerous stories but just on the top of my head I remember driving with someone that had a "family member badge" (got it from a cop that he once did business with), there were more people in the car than what it can hold... after the cop sees the badge he says he won't write a ticket but "call someone to pick up the extra passengers that don't fit into the car", he told the cop he doesn't have a cell phone so the cop says "ok just drive safely"

No

Worked countless times, each time was it's own story. Aside for the pba card being from a family member dont know of that makes a difference.

Worked multiple times for me, once the cop took it away but still no ticket as someone mentioned above it really depends on who its from, the cops mood that day and what you were pulled for.

NO

Not true.

As previously stated, many times the officer will inquire as to the origin of the card and confirm that it was given to the holder, and not merely purchased online, as that would defeat the purpose. The card is meant to provide professional courtesy for family and close friends of the officer (or someone else who earned the gratitude of the officer), it's not a get-out-of-jail-free instrument.

Family member badges work in conjunction with PBA card but should be from same cop and same precinct. Ones from eBay won’t work as they don’t have the cops badge number on them.

my friend showed a pba card when a cop pulled him for passing a red light the cop let him go without a ticket but he first walked him to the corner and made him throw the card into the sewer
