There are literal “get out of jail free cards” that LEOs give to their friends and families. They are called police courtesy cards.

e.g. “we’re hoping this gets shut down before it ever reaches our lawyers”
e.g. we would never codify this, that would be proof of corruption, instead it’s just an unwritten rule we can use to support further corruption

Thank you
PBA cards. They’re ridiculous and completely legal.
Wtf? Do they have that in Canada too?
Probably. The culture here is not much different than in the states (lived in the states for 12 years). I’d guess more rural parts of Canada will have this. In my small town out east people stop to chat with their officer friends. The police here are scarce since we don’t have our own department and just use RCMP. I feel safer seeing less police cars.
My experience, living in Canada and travelling a lot to the states for work things and also around canada for work, is that the culture similarities are entirely dependent on what state you are in, and what province.
