you just "found" this site, it was posted in the other thread yesterday.
At least be honest.
Now on point, it is a job perk, not officially and I don't ask for. I didn't get a new driver's license with my uniform on, I didn't carry a big ass stupid wallet so I can carry a badge next to my License, and when I've been stopped I only say,
"I got carried away and didn't realize I was speeding. I have no good excuse" and gotten warnings based on that response and not my profession.
I have stopped people before from neighboring departments and they'll ask for professional curtosy. I know you all will hate this answer, but because the examples I was involved in where all instances where I would give anyone a verbal warning anyway. So it is what it is. They were about 10 over and I would have given Skip a verbal warning, so I did for the officers too.
Since I hate people's sense of entitlement, I too would have no problem writing this ticket we are all talking about. The officer was going way too fast, and of course should not be considered above the law.
