Do policemen face tickets too?

What it would tend to indicate is a problem one way or the other. Either you have an officer flagrantly disobeying the rules of the road thinking that he is immune from the consequences (a problem), or, you have an officer intentionally pulling over another officer just to get a little payback for some slight (also a problem). No matter, you have an issue that must be looked into. And even if justified, the almost certain beef that will develop between the two could be a huge issue for the agency.

In reality, unless you are speaking of a very large agency (LAPD, LASO, SDPD, SDSO, SJPD, a couple others ...) this just is not likely to happen. If you have a fellow officer being that big a problem, you are likely going to call a supervisor to the scene of the stop or at least alert one after the fact.

Hi,

From what Carl stated it appears as if there are more than a few "bad apples" in uniform. Payback? Cannot wait for the movie.
 


That's NOT what Carl said. But your reading comprehension has never been your strong suit.

Hi,

You still owe me $300 ? Carl details out a procedure that would be followed in these situations; it is logical to assume that this is an expected event then & hence, a significant number of cops must be "bad apples".

Your cognitive functions are weak .. have you taken your Insure today? Don't remember? Its OK ...

Logic is also not a strong area for you. In fact, you have demonstrated that your only strong area is lack of legal knowledge.

The "procedure" I outlined is very general. There is no specific procedure in any P&P I have seen for this, and I doubt one would exist. The usual supervisory and personnel procedures should be sufficient to address this should it ever become an issue.

And, no, there are not a significant number of "bad apples." A few, yes, but for the most part they end up being culled.
