I totally agree - however, I would never complain about being stopped for a lawful reason...or even being cited while I'm an LEO. I try to keep that fact to myself unless for safety reasons (weapons etc) I need to disclose it to the officer. No such thing as feather-legged stop, just a feather-legged ticket is how I word it.Charles L. Cotton wrote:Careful now . . . how many fellow LEO's have you let off out of "professional courtesy?" In my 15 years as a COP, I never wrote a single citation to a LEO, although many deserved it.

Also no front LP. Fail to signal w/in 100 ft of turning, and fail to stop a designated point.
...who cares what the law says anyways...
So yes, laws are to be obeyed . . . by everyone. It would gall me no end to hear one of my fellow officers chastise a driver for some traffic violation knowing full well he/she did far worse at the end of every shift.
Chas.
Also - couldn't agree more on lecturing driving. I didn't put on a badge to gain a platform for preaching.
