[City of New York] Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association boss Pat Lynch slashed the maximum number of cards that could be issued to current cops from 30 to 20, and to retirees from 20 to 10, sources told The Post.
The cards are often used to wiggle out of minor trouble such as speeding tickets, the theory being that presenting one suggests you know someone in the NYPD.
The rank and file is livid.
“They are treating active members like s–t, and retired members even worse than s–t,” griped an NYPD cop who retired on disability. “All the cops I spoke to were . . . very disappointed they couldn’t hand them out as Christmas gifts.”

The cards, issued for various states and agencies -- such as the DEA -- are available for purchase on eBay for around $100.

Believe me, money works BEAUTIFULLY in the USA.🇺🇸 As a businessman and a very substantial donor to very important people -- Crooked Hillary was one of them -- when you give, they do WHATEVER the hell you want them to do. I know the system far better than anybody else, and I know the system is broken. I know it so well because I was on both sides of it. I was on the other side all my life and I've always made LARGE contributions. And frankly, I know the system better than anybody else, and I'm the only one that's going to be able to fix that system because that system is wrong.
