Yeah, especially when - in the first part - neither person knows the identity of the other and therefore can't actually act on anything; then - in the second part - that is merely a good piece of advice.MMDad said:

You are flaunting the fact that one of the "perks" of the job is that the law does not apply equally to law enorcement officers?
I'm at a loss for words here. Do you truly believe that because a person is a law enforcement officer, the very laws that person is trusted to enforce don't apply to that person in the same fashion as they do to everybody else?
What every cop would like to say but doesn't.

In all reality
That is not true. Telling someone to off themself could be threatening... and the only legal threat you or anyone can make is a legal threat. All others are violations... and could be criminal...
Me thinks this thread is getting a little loose-goosed....

just one of those days...
I don't think that all LEO's are the same when it comes to stuff like this. Some of them will give everyone a ticket and some of them let other officers and their family members get away with more. But it isn't cool for them to let someone slide when they are doing something that is going to hurt or kill someone else like drinking and driving or going 100 mph. That is just not right no matter what your job title is. I just can't stand that some LEO's are above the law when it comes to how they treat other people. I know one that used to beat his wife until she got away from him and then he beat up on and then stalked his ex girlfriend once she left too. He is still a cop too. Some people just don't deserve to have a job with authority that's all.

That was about what I expected from these immature "real-cop" wannabe's.
It scares me when I see the drek that the academies are turning out onto our streets nowadays. For the most part what we're getting are one of two types: The adrenaline junkies who are in it for "the chase", or the bullies who have a score(real or imagined)to settle. And just for the record, do you know how many times in 26 years of doing this I've had to throw my lunch away? 3.

Perhaps you posted to the wrong thread? Maybe not... and just want attention?

But what you might want to pay attention to Ken, is when the legislature writes that an officer MAY arrest as opposed to certain laws where the legislature writes that an officer MUST arrest. That may help you understand it a little bit better as you are going through your research.Ken King said:
I have yet to see any legislation passed into law that uses anything like what you suggest at all. What I see with regard to these laws is along the lines of: "Prohibited - A person may not commit ....." or "It is illegal to ....".smcop said:
Law enforcement officers are hired and have sworn to enforce all of the laws to the best of their ability. To borrow from Nike, "Just Do It". And for those LEOs and their family members that get caught breaking minor traffic laws I think that they should quit asking for special treatment and accept responsibility for their indiscretions.

A good example of discresion would be. If someone has marijuana on them and gets caught by the police. A lot of the time they will get arrested. If the officer wants to they can just write them a written citation. This is not a must arrest offense.
I think the main thing then Ken was trying to point out to SMDwiner is that the police give special treatment to other cops and their family. SOMD was saying or implying that this was not true. There may be no official rule that says to do this. But as a cop you know that when you ticket another cops family member it is looked down upon.
Discresion and special treatment are two different things. The fact is that certain people get special treatment which somd wiener could not accept.

You should read the digest of criminal laws for the state of maryland, which is the guidebook by which we determine different crimes. An example is; DOMESTIC ABUSE. (a) A police oficer without a warrant MAY arrest a person if:....... Another example; Failure to comply with Peace Order. A law enforcement officer SHALL arrest......... See the difference in the language. I have attempted to explain this in these brief blogs. It is difficult to provide you with my 15 years of police experience and training in these brief sessions, but I hope I have educated you enough so you understand that just because a police officer can arrest, doesn't always mean he should arrest. Discretion clears the way for the courts for cases which should be heard. I know that you will say that some officers abuse thier discretion, but I would submit that is human nature, and judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, legislators and every other HUMAN being is not perfect each and every time. I can only say that I have always treated every person the way that I would want my family to be treated until that person crosses the line. Thank you for your interest.Ken King said:

I think you misunderstood me. I was only refering to speacial treatment in traffic stops. Such as speeding for example. Refering to the original topic of this thread. Do cops give other cops speeding tickets.
I used marijuana as example of a crime were the officer had the choice of arresting somone or giving them a must apear ticket.
