> As long as there's any amount of leeway in enforcement of the law, things like courtesy cards will exist

The moment it’s standardised not only in writing, but as a physical object, it should become trivially prosecutable. The existence of these cards should trigger DoJ intervention. (Maybe the Adams administration’s recent failings will prompt this.)

There won't be any DoJ intervention for two reasons:

1. The existence of these cards has been widely known about for well over a decade.

2. The DoJ is full of cops as well.

This hypothesis would appear to be disprovable by the DoJ prosecuting cops. (Hint: they do. Including entire police forces.)
