These cards aren’t memorabilia, they’re explicitly made to evade punishment for breaking the law. That’s why they have the name: “professional courtesy”, asking an officer not to enforce the law against someone in their tribe.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> cards aren’t memorabilia, they’re explicitly made to evade punishment for breaking the law Sure. What makes that distinction is the action. The problem isn’t police memorabilia, it’s the way these cards are being respected.
- acdha 2y agoI don’t think these are just memorabilia- they have that, too, but these were specifically designed to request officers change their professional behavior, hence the name. If they declined to pull over someone with an FOP sticker that’s also bad but there is a better argument that a membership sticker has meaning other than something you keep in your wallet except when you need special treatment from an officer on duty.
