You'd be surprised how many otherwise conservative cops think this.

It's all selfish of course as they don't want to confront people with guns on car stops etc..if they can avoid it.

But their significant others likely carry "illegally" along with a business card with contact info of their cop significant other. It's a "cop to cop courtesy for their relatives" thing they don't get busted. Know it for a fact from my own days 10-8 so any cops out there don't bother disputing this.

Here in Harris county they can actually purchase a "Deputy's Mom Badge". It looks just like a deputy badge but it can only be gotten through the sheriff department.
