- microtherion 9y agoFrom a quote in the original article: "However, it is equally possible that the enforcement officer’s zeal will not be appreciated, and the enforcement officer will come to work one day to find his locker has been moved to the parking lot and filled with dog excrement."
- geofft 9y agoThat makes them a traitor cop, with the same (well-documented) negative effects on their career as to cops who report on corruption in their department, cops who enforce laws against other cops, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_wall_of_silence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_wall_of_silence
- gfodor 9y agoThis happens and is why the "protocol" is not to offer the card directly but ensure it is visible in your wallet to give the cop an opportunity to give you a pass.
- oh_sigh 9y agoI was passenger in a car with a girl who tried to pull this by handing him her card along with license/registration. He looked at it for half a second and said 'You can go ahead and hold onto that' and then gave her a ticket for what she was doing wrong(speeding). I'd like to think he might have let her off with a warning if she didn't try to flash that card.
