I've been in law enforcement for 11 years and I've never cited another cop. The closest I've came was when this off-duty officer could not produce his leo credentials but even then for him to say he was a cop, I did not cite him in which he was clearly speeding. I asked the off-duty cop for his agency's phone number in which he gave it to me, I made the call and validated his position with the aforementioned agency. The same cop thanked me for not stroking him and stated he would have done the same thing in good faith. That also so goes to show you that if you have your credentials, you WON'T and WILL NOT get cited by me. Ok, I did wrong by speeding, but listen... I'm a human being who, like you, took a similar oath to uphold the law. This kind of means that you and I are brothers of justice. You do not have to lecture me on the side of the road for 20 minutes in an attempt to make me later than I was when you stopped me. I pretty much know the law just like you do. The reason I say this is because I used to stop people who actually told me, (in a sarcastic way), they were running late for some reason. It was then I'd purposely write slower and *****foot around during the whole traffic stop BUT,...the violator was not a cop!!!! Well I guess I could probably direct this post to Trooper Ports (Tall & Bald with a dead Squirrel on his upper lip). I hope the next traffic stop you conduct is way out on US 27 South, on a very hot day and you get four flat tires and your vehicle's gas gage stops working without your knowing it and you run out gas trying to keep cool until help gets there. Oh, I forgot and your radio signal is blocked by a thunderstorm over headquarters and your cell phone was accidentally left at home and no one stops to give you any help. You Citation Junky!!! :twisted: :twisted:
