I agree - you’d have to be crazy to post to this board. But to give anyone — anyone — ‘a pass’ is a sign of corruption when it comes to the law.
It’s not a ‘suggested speed limit’, is it?
And to expect a pass is IMHO a sign of even worse corruption.
You’re right. Expecting a pass is arrogant if not corrupt.
Being respectful and courteous goes a long way in determining the outcome regardless of who’s behind the wheel. I wrote a ticket to a loud mouthed Denver cop and 2 tickets to his punk kid because they both thought that I was obligated to give them a break. Attitude is everything.
