Snipey, I generally don't respond to BS, but I will this time, because you seem to have some kind of problem with me, due to the somewhat personal attack, type of comments directed specifically towards me. It appears that you seem to make a lot of presumptions about what I posted.

Sounds like a lot of the ones that I have pulled over, through the years, that expected to get a pass, on whatever infraction or infractions that I made the stop for, just because they were a fireman.

Really any cop that's writing a minor traffic violation against another cop or a fireman is a dick in life, and should probably have his ass kicked on the spot.

Gee, I am trying to figure out how snipey could have determined that in my 20+yr LEO career, that I actually wrote any tickets to firemen, or other LEO's. I never stated that I ever wrote any tickets to anybody that were of those professions. I also never stated anything about the type of infractions, which he assumed were "minor traffic violations" Sure, I did stop a LOT of LEO's and FF's over the years, for various infractions. These included everything from just speeding, DUI, even up to fleeing the scene of an accident/with major injuries sustained by the people that they had hit. But... everyone that I stopped, for whatever reasons, it was up to the actions of the violator, that determined the outcome of the stop.
I can truly say that I never wrote a fellow officer or fireman a ticket for BS traffic infractions. That does not say that I did not make some of the asshats sweat it out a bit. They were the ones, that the first thing they did was badge you, and expected for you to just say, "sorry about pulling you over, just go ahead and go." I can also say that I never wrote a nurse or a medical doctor a ticket either. Both of those have been there for me, and saved my life, the three different times that I had been shot, or the couple of times that I had been stabbed. There were others that were also, very low on the "getting a ticket list", due to their profession, big-truck drivers, for one example. I can also state, that I have never written a "warning ticket" why waste my time and ink doing that for something that is useless. A small trade secret: if the police officer gets out of his unit with his ticket book, it is more likely that there will be a citation written up. It is something along the order of pre-dispositioned to write a ticket. I never exited my car with my ticket book. I wanted to hear their story, and if they were honest, and there was anyway that I could give them break, I did. I never rode a desk.
But one thing I can say, there was no professional courtesy extended to a repo-man. If they did not have all of the proper paperwork and the court seizure order papers, they went to jail, just as any other car thief would have.
So, if all of this makes YOU think, that I am a dick, I could really give a damn about whatever YOU think. Also, about the "ass kicked on the spot" if it was YOU that was going to attempt to do that, there would have been a serious, negative outcome, before I had to retire. This is because, as a police officer, you DO NOT get your ass kicked, because if you let that happen, they then have access to your weapon.
