This has been a common thing forever. Whether it's right is very much and should be up for discussion but I'm surprised at how many people seem to be learning this for the first time.
Same thing worked with the small silver shields you could give out. I don't really agree with how policing is done in the US and it has started more than one fight with my long retired former police father but as a matter of practicality I still carry his silver shield with me.
He hasn't been an officer since I was 5 or so but even in high school the active police families and the families with ada's or prosecutors all had PBA cards and would give them out.
- snapetom 6y agoVery much been around forever. The PBA cards are common in NY and NJ, where cops are basically a legalized mafia. In areas where PBA cards are not the norm, a simple business card with the officer's signature plays the same role. "If there's a problem, you can check with my friend Officer so and so. Here's his card."
