“After a tense 3 hour standoff, the hostages were released and the police breached the bank. But their efforts were frustrated when the suspects each presented officers with a Get Out Of Jail Free card signed by Officer Doobie of Reform, Alabama”

These cards don't necessarily get you special treatment and can be revoked at any time at the whim of any officer. I have one.

Oh well if they're only sometimes accepted I guess this institutionalized form of corruption is actually good.

I don't have a problem with these cards. It's the same thing as a friend who works at a restaurant and hooks you up with food once in a while.

This just happens to involve law enforcement. Everyone just needs a cop friend.

Your situation would be if the cop you know pulls you over he'll let you slide. This is like if you have a friend who's a waiter and he gives you a card so every other waiter will also hook you up, and every waiter has those cards to give out to multiple people.

And those waiters have a union that provide each waiter with a disbursement of hook-up tokens

In texas its a $100 for anybody. Its called the 100 club. I have had cops turn off their lights when they get close enough to see lol.

They have police associations you can donate to and get a decal pretty much everywhere I think, and that poo poo is shady as gently caress too. It's not quite the same form of corruption, and I'm sure it doesn't work as well, but the attempt to profit from the idea that it might is pretty clear.

The one in texas goes to the families of cops who die on duty. But yeah basically if you can keep ypur behavior in check enough that it wont come back to bite them in the rear end you are pretty much walking. A major or obvious crime it would still probably keep them from treating you like poo poo or shooting you. Probably.

Nah I'm pretty sure it's just "corruption."

Seriously, this is the sort of poo poo they do in third-world countries, where people in positions of power are nigh expected to abuse those positions to benefit relatives and friends.

I still called it corruption, I was just saying it's slightly different than the card.
