It’s a way for a police officer to vouch for another person, that type of recommendation shouldn’t be available to the highest bidder.
-New York City Councilman Peter Vallone Jr.
From a recent story on the sale of so called “get out of jail free cards.”
I instead agree with Councilman Garodnick who said that no one should be able to use a friend of the police card to get out of trouble with the law, including other police officers. With the stories and videos of the NYPD during the occupy protests and the insanity of stop and frisk, this is just another example of the lack of concern for police corruption in NYC and countrywide.
