New York City police Officer Mathew Bianchi holds a "courtesy card" in the Staten Island borough of New York, Friday, June 2, 2023. Bianchi is speaking out against the use of "courtesy cards" by friends and relatives of cops, accusing department leaders of maintaining a sprawling system of impunity that has fueled both reckless driving and racist traffic stops. The laminated cards have long been treated as a perk of the job, allowing those with a connection to law enforcement to get out of a traffic stop or other minor infraction. (AP Photo/Ted Shaffrey)
