It isn't (wasn't?) just the PBA. Here's a 1985 "get out of jail free" card from Passaic County, NJ. No, I never used it. It is pretty much a "If you have the audacity to bring this guy up on charges, once it gets to court it is pretty much dead". I have no idea where the limit was - obviously you couldn't kill someone and get the charges dismissed, but I know of cases of public disorderliness with minor property damage where the case just died in the county legal system.
