This is a website created by law enforcement officers for the purpose of lambasting other LEOs who do not render them "professional courtesy". In police parlance, "professional courtesy" means "letting a cop get away with a traffic law violation". The website has a special area called "Dicks Of The Month" in which cops who refuse to let other cops get away with traffic violations are subjected to particular scorn.

Anyone who still refuses to believe that there are substantial numbers of corrupt policemen, sheriffs, deputies, and other "crimebusters" out there need only read the site to learn otherwise. The existence of copswritingcops.com is more evidence that, generally speaking, cops demand one standard of justice for themselves, and a second for everybody else. (Note the repeated use of the term "civilians" to refer to citizens who are not members of the law enforcement "family".) Even though the unequal treatment involves only violations of traffic laws, the existence of even the smallest double standard of justice is incompatible with the existence of a society where the law applies to all citizens equally. Copswritingcops.com shows that, to corrupt law enforcement officers, those citizens on the cop side of the Thin Blue Line are more equal than others.

It’s not just the cops themselves, I know wives who have had tickets fixed.

If I ever catch them in a recent incident, then I’m going to quietly tip people off about it - starting with the chief, town officials, state officials, the media, or whomever.

Right now I have their trust, the crooked fools... I’m just waiting for “a story”.

Love the idea of “police”, but every time they have been involved in anyway shape or form it hasn’t been a good thing. Wish it wasn’t so but I would rather not involve the police in anything. Not to be hating just a personal observation maybe it has been different for you.

military people get free hops on planes, airline employees get the jet around the world for free ($50 is free).

You couldn't PAY me 50 bucks to take a MAC flight around the world on a C 130.. Hardly a perk

The site may be real.
But parts of it sound like they could have been written by Jay Santos
of the Citizens Auxiliary Patrol.

I've been in over 10 years, and my only "free hops" have been missions and rides to the desert.

Mostly NY and NJ boys who trash Rednecks, and expect country cops to overlook it.

I’m ex-LEO and I never intentionally gave another officer or military any traffic citation but I didn’t advertise the fact… (until now – ooops).

Why blatantly post something like this in public? Cops have a bad enough rap as it is because of traffic enforcement. We all know how LE is resented for what the citizen considers revenue generating citations and so called “speed traps”. Why add insult to injury and further tarnish LE integrity by posting this in a place where non-LEO can read?

Please don’t misunderstand - I’m not against cutting fellow cops and military a break – I’m just against advertising the policy/practice.

Actually, it's kind of funny. I mean, the speeding cops are acting exactly like the motorists they ticket all the time. Once the other cop won't give them a break, instead of being sharp enough to just say to themselves, "Well, it was worth a try", they actually get pissed off and truly believe the other cop is a jerk cause he didn't give them a break. And the reason they know the guy's a jerk is because they're such jerks themselves when they give tickets. My favorite is when they tell the other cop their a cop, too. And the guy answers, "Well, then you should know better". Hee hee hee.

So cops that let Mr. citizen off for speeding is corrupt? It’s called officer’s discretion. During the 11 years I was in LE I let numerous people off with just a warning and yes that did include a handful of cops. OH HEAVENS!!! I WAS A CORRUPT COP!!

Any cop stupid enough to post his ‘complaint’ on that site genuinely deserves his ticket - and a few days administrative leave.

I personally knew a Federal LEO who kept his drivers license in his Badge/ID case. That way when a cop asked for his license he could show his badge without it being too obvious.

He told me he got stopped by a Georgia Highway Patrolman. Didn’t do him any good. The cop just told him to remove the license from that holder.

Police officers and firemen have been involed in accidents and have had their case decided by a jury. If you were on that jury would you consider a perfect driving record for a policeman less important than any other driver involed in the accident?

Frankly, I would be satisfied if they would just do their job and solve some crimes. I’ve seen so much incompetence it makes the Keystone Cops look like Sherlock Holmes.
