I think he's on a golf course somewhere.

Hey, buddy! A friend of mine is also a cop. Each year he gives me a police officers benevolent association card. As he's moved up in the ranks, now it's a detective's benevolent association card.

I appreciate the gesture and we both jokingly call it my "get out of jail free card."

As a professional courtesy, does having one of these really help in awkward situations?

I appreciate the response.

Personally, I'm not sure having one of these helps in any real way. I mean, I'm not asking to get out of a murder or anything, but perhaps if I'm speeding a bit then maybe it's a warning rather than a ticket.

But, in the end, regardless of the results, I do appreciate the gesture from a guy who is a good friend of mine.
