- New York City police get given cards to help people out of minor infractions.
- Officers are reportedly not happy about a cut in the number distributed.
The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, the largest labor union representing NYPD cops, has slashed the number of "get out of jail free" cards it hands out from 30 to 20 for current cops and from 20 to 10 for retired police, the New York Post reports.
The cards are reportedly given to police, who distribute them among friends or family, or sell them on eBay. Holders can can then use them to get out of minor infractions and avoid legal trouble.
Current and former NYPD members are reportedly furious about the change.
"They are treating active members like s---, and retired members even worse than s---" a retired NYPD cop told the Post. "All the cops I spoke to were... very disappointed they couldn't hand them out as Christmas gifts."
