Paul Pelosi's lifetime membership in the California Highway Patrol association is REVOKED after DUI crash because he flashed CHP card at officers in 'doomed attempt to wriggle out of charges'
2022-08-27
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Paul Pelosi's has had his 'lifetime membership' of a California Highway Patrol supporters' association was revoked after he flashed his membership card to police officers during his DUI arrest in May in an attempt to curry favor with the officers.

The CHP 11-99 Foundation, which allows anyone to join at various tiers of membership from between $3,000 and $100,000, said they'd canceled Pelosi's membership after behavior they say 'reflected poorly' on the group.

Pelosi was informed of his termination from the group by letter on Wednesday, and will be refunded the undisclosed amount he paid to join.

The card Pelosi showed tells police officers that he was a life member of a charity that benefits the patrol.

With his membership terminated, he must also return all CHP 11-99 membership items that he currently possesses including the weighty metallic membership cars that he flashed to the arresting officer.

#9  When I consulted with various local governments in CA, it was common for LEO's to give out "courtesy cards". They had to be used with a particular formula (or incantation) when you handed the card over, something like "Please extend whatever courtesy is appropriate under the circumstances". The card was only good for one shot; it was always taken whether or not any courtesy was extended.

#8  Not a peep out of M.A.D.D. about the whole thing.

#7  Maybe the court should have thrown some hard time his way rather than probation. They probably felt sorry for him as he already had a life sentence of hard time with Nan. Now, that is cruel and unusual punishment.

#6  The fact that Pelosi was arrested at all suggests to me that the facts are ten times worse than what we've been told.

#4  And yet, they allowed him hours before booking to let the BAC drop to minimal levels. The card worked exactly as anticipated, all the kerfluffle is window dressing.. I guarantee the CHP Officer who arrived on scene and was briefed quietly by the Napa SO officer who was first on-scene and who bailed as soon as he knew who was involved. There was undoubtedly a personal cell call to the Watch Commander and then on to the Commissioner who was careful in the way he explained what he wanted done. Chippies are fine guys but no one wants to commit career suicide by enraging the vindictive witch who happens to be the Speaker of the House.
