I was reading this the other day and it kind of bothered me.

I'll include the link at the end of the post in case anyone else is interested in reading other's responses.

I guess I am interested in what folks' view is on this. And no judgements whatever your opinion is.

this is what was posted (it is not the NT forum)

Ticketing Other Police Officers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First off I have to say I'm sorry for not being a regular poster. One month left and I wrap up 30 years in law Enforcement. I just want to get your opinion on something. last week I was going to my place in Florida along I95 and about 20 miles before the Georgia border I was stopped by a county officer for speeding. I was going 80 in a posted 70 zone on 95 South. I showed the officer my police ID and badge and also told him I was on the job. He told me he didn't ask for the badge & ID and only wanted my license & reg. He came back to my car and gave me a ticket. I tried to ask him if this is the way he acted with all police officers, but he just turned away and went back to his unit. I have to say that I was going to fast, but in my 30 years, I have never given a fellow officer a ticket and I've stopped plenty. Am I wrong? The guys on my department think I should have had our PBA president give a call, but it's water under the bridge. But it did **** me off . G.

my thought on this is that he lied:

first, he said he was going to his place in Fl. But then he told the other officer that he was "on the job"

IF he was truly on the job, I can see why the other officer might give him a break. But really, being from NYC and going to Florida on the job is a bit of a stretch, I doubt the other officer believed him.

and I just don't think that because he was a police man that he should get special treatment...

don't get me wrong, I have high respect for our policemen and firemen and I believe they are to be highly respected, but at the same token, a special treatment of this sort makes me wonder if they would overstep "other" boundaries?

below is the link to where other officers have replied to him
