Police charity boots Paul Pelosi after he flashed membership card during arrest

Paul Pelosi won’t be flashing his police-donor card at any future arrests.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, who earlier this week pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, showed a card to California Highway Patrol officers during the arrest that showed he was a life member of a charity that benefits the patrol.

That’s a no-no, the CHP 11-99 Foundation said in a statement Thursday.

“The mere presentation of his 11-99 Foundation identification credentials to law enforcement made it appear that he was presenting them for preferential treatment,” the Foundation stated.

“Whether that was the case or not [this] violates the terms and conditions he agreed to on his membership application,” the charity said in its statement.
