Apparently confirming rumors of poor sales of Jose “Chille” DeCastro’s 5A Cop Card product, DeCastro posted a YouTube community post advertising for a designer to help redesign the product.

The solicitation gives instructions on what DeCastro is looking for in the redesign, which would include the front and back of the individual driver and passenger cards. DeCastro has opened the design to everyone and has offered a $200 for the accepted design with a $50 bonus “if you seriously are freaking awesome.”
DeCastro came up with the idea of a “portable trifold” in the spring of 2023, working on the design throughout the summer. The cards are intended to help users invoke their rights when encountering police during traffic stops. While the advice on the card has been found to be legally dubious, and DeCastro has yet to demonstrate the card working in a traffic stop, he went forward with releasing the card to the public.
The redesign apparently confirms rumors of poor sales of the 5A Cop Cards since their release in mid-Fall of 2023. Originally offered for $30, even a reduction in price to $10 has not helped sales. With thousands of cards in stock and apparently no demand, DeCastro has been giving away the cards with orders of his trifolds and hoodies in an apparent attempt to reduce inventory.
DeCastro is apparently also attempting to reduce stock in his trifolds by offering endless “two for one” and “buy one give someone else one free” promotions, rumors abound that a similar redesign may be in the works for his “indestructible” trifold.
This is a developing news story.
