Anyone know where I can go to donate to the new york state police PBA? Most of the websites I find seem sketchy and don't look legit. If anyone can help me out...thanks!

they have a signal 30 fund, which is a radio distress call for help

 

Are you looking to donate in the hopes it'll help when you get pulled over cause 9 out of 10 times it doesn't help. It's better to have a signed card from a cop and even better to have the mini shield too.

 

I have the card, was thinking a card cannot hurt anything lol.

 

Cops get pissy sometimes. They're temperamental too when you go flashing it at them. I have my mini shield and card where as soon as I open my wallet for them to get my stuff they see it and ask. I don't go saying hey officer I have so and so on the job. It's a 50/50 perk.

 

wrong. mini shield means dick. u can buy them at any cop shop or anywhere on the internet, they are beyond easy to get.

the best thing, an updated card, with the cops name signed so u can clearly read it, then shield number. under that a phone number.

my friends thats a trooper had labels made up with his name, troop location, shield number, phone number, and trooper email

 

dont laugh but a guy i knew would give people a polaroid picture of him in uniform and whoever he would give the card to and would write all his info on the back.

 

along with a badge, they usually get another smaller badge, in a wallet, that says family member on it, and you have to add a photo of you in your state uniform and that person and keep it in the wallet. often times with PBA cards, the cops can/will actually call whoever is on the card to check if they know you later on. the usual response is "yea i'll deal with that idiot myself, thanks" hahaha

 

Wrong!!^^

This!!^^ the min shield has the officers badge number on it. Which is what I have along with the card with the badge number on that too signed and everything. You can't go into a police store and buy stuff unless you are a cop they don't allow it. I've tried to get the wallet for my shield and they said no the officer has to get it. So you just can't get those anywhere.

 

im not wrong. a mini shield by itself means absolutely nothing. a pba card that is signed with no number or not legible name its pretty much useless. a pba card with a bad number is even worse.

the absolute best thing is the picture, followed by a card with a number and a name written clearly on it.

those family wallets are good but by itself, it is useless

 

Um you are wrong because any yahoo can get a pba card and if you're lucky to get it signed. A pba card with the badge number pre printed on it is more effective then just a plain pba card. A mini shield is more effective then both as family mostly gets those. Trust me I just explained this but I repeat it. Because this mini shield is an actual copy of the officer's badge when you show it to an officer they know you know the officer personally but they usually wanna see the matching pba card with the badge number already printed on it to which the officer has to order those. That card signed with their phone number and the mini shield has always made me be able to walk away from tickets here NY and in CT. Here's what I have....

 

My girl has a 14k gold card from Ramapo county. It's literally a gold PBS card that says sister of a police officer. Immediate families I guess get these but if a cop wants to be a dick, he's going to be one no matter what. (mostly highway patrol, thy even give cops tickets)

 

^^Thats true. If the cop wants to be an ass and not regard the fact of the shield or card he's gonna be an ass. Nothing you can do to stop that.
