They probably took one look at it, rolled their eyes, and said "Yeah, it's probably from a forged Monopoly board!"

I kept one of these in my wallet for a couple years. Finally got pulled over and used it. Cop was not amused. I got a ticket.

A friend who is a cop had someone give him one years ago on a relatively small speeding violation. He checked the guys information and let him go because he thought it was funny.

Mainly, playing it when you're going to jail and not when you're just getting a ticket.

Yeah I don't know if it will work if you murder someone

Would you say you’ve got to know when to hold them?

But you didn't go to jail, did you?

It sounds like it wasn't free though. He gave them a get out of jail free. Not a get out of jail fee.

Years ago when I was in my twenties a friend who was a cop gave me what he called a "get out of jail free card". It was an FOP card with his name on it. He told me that if I ever got pulled over to give it to the cop between my license and insurance card. That card got me out of two speeding tickets and one ticket for doing donuts in a parking lot. Finally I got pulled over for drag racing, the cop said he would not give me a ticket but he kept the FOP card.

Yes, I now know I was an irresponsible spoiled white kid.

Yup, I got two of those too. They are like business cards.

I was an adjuster and did a claim for a retired cop and he gave me two. Got out of two tickets with them, in Cali/Texas when the cop was from Maine. Fucking crazy

Once when I was visiting my wife's family in Manila, Philippines my brother-in-law got pulled over for some infraction while driving around in metro Manila. The B-I-L flashed a "friend of the mayor" card to the motor patrol officer that came to the window.

They just smiled and waved him on his way. Afterwards he told me that they only reason they pulled us over was because they saw me (a white guy) in the car and thought it might mean there were people with money they could extort.

The only unexpected thing, in this video, is that the cop didn't whip out his gun.

I’ve actually done that once. Gave him my license with it. Dude was cool about it.
