I'VE do not allow police courtesy cards in
our city," says Chief O'Connelf, because
they are almost certain to impair the efficiency
and the morale of the average police officer,
endangering the safety, security and even the
lives of our citizens"
Every time the owner Of courtesy
card takes his car out ON the road, secure
i'm the knowledge that he can safely break
the law, your life is in danger. If his reck-
less, defiant behavior involves you in an acci-
dent, you have little chance of seeing him put,
even temporarily, behind bars.
Recently in Southwestern township an 18-
year-old boy, driving while drunk skdded
across sidewalk and crashed through plate
glass show window. His father rushed to the
police station and flashed his courtesy card
in time to keep his sons name off the police
blotter..
In Indiana, gambling raid was made on
notorious roadhouse - 20 participants were
arrested Five men and women showed ooM-
tesy cards to he arresting police and were
allowed to 60 home without being booked.
In suburb near Los Angeles prominent
citizen imbibed heavily at local saloon, went
home and beat up his neigheor, who called the
police When they saw the offender S courtesy
card, they lost interest. They put him ten
derly to bed and advised his neighbor to for
get the whole thing.
Courtesy cards, most authorities believe,
got their big impetus during prohibition, when

TVODAY in the United States an estimated
i half million persons are - or think they
are - superprivileged citizens They park in
no-parking zones. pass red lights, exceed the
speed limits, throw loud, late parties, take
part in open gambling and freely violate every
type of local ordinance without fear of the law.
How do they get away with it? In their
wallets are little printed cards that are known
by various names police cards, honorary
membership cards, drag-tags, VIP cards or,
most frequently. courtesy cards. Each card
is signed by top local official and makes the
same request: please extend every courtesy
to John Doe" Unlike the legitimate police
cards given out to newspapermen, photog-
raphers doctors, civilian defense workers.
etc, courtesy cards are distributed on basis
of pull" rather than need.
School for Dishonessy2
WHEN people who do not possess courtesy
cards see one go into action to help its holder
duck fine or a minor arrest, they are envious
or resentful but rarely outraged. The courtesy
card racket, however, is far more serious than
it looks 1t is racket that many high-Tanking
police officials themselves are heartily against
and are trying to bring under proper control.
The umwarranted exercise of privilege by
local big Shots" says jeremiah O'Connel
Chief of the St. Louis Police Department, is
often the school where honest cops first
learn to wink at many serious crimes.
Evening star., 1953-07-05

some of our most respectable citizens were
engaged in defying the law. According to
Charles ]. Hahn, executive secretary of the
National Sheriffs' Association. the cards, as
they are issued today, are intended to be used
only to identify the bearer. That is, to help
him cash checks, claim mail or establish credit.
The 1ig TeMpeation
UNFORTUNATELY, Hahn says, 1T doesn't
always work out that way. You may dis
approve of special privilege for other people,
but when you yourself have a chance to use it,
the temptation is usually overwhelming.
Evening star., 1953-07-05

Certainly there could be no danger in the
practice if courtesy cards were given only to
citizens of proved responsibility. However.
police and other law-enforcement officials
can't be held responsible for the character of
the people who carry courtesy cards, for they
often don't know who the privileged benef-
ciaries are.
1t is common practice for politicians to get
local officials to countersign several dozen at
time. The politiooes then pass them out in
return for small favors.
In other localities, these admissions to
