“Buying a ‘get out of jail free’ card is just a mouse click away. Police union cards that cops hand out to friends and family free of charge are selling on eBay for as much as $100 a pop, even though the resale of the coveted plastic is strictly prohibited by the unions. The cards are often used to get out of minor jams like speeding tickets or parking violations — flashing one with your driver’s license is a way of suggesting you’re a member of law enforcement or at least related to someone who is. One eBay seller, ‘anonymous1234567,’ pointed out that some cards — like the 2013 LBA card he sold to The Post for $100 — work better than others.”
