So apparently cool cops are the ones that don't do their job right.

Prime example of the Omega Effect right here.

More like takes extenuating circumstances into account. Speeding is a misdemeanor. OP said his work place is very strict on punctuality and his being late was a fluke. The officer obviously did not want to wreck OP's life over a misdemeanor.

Edited by Psyntifik: 9/15/2016 5:28:10 PMOP should have manged his time better. Not the cops problem he's late. Nor is it mine when he knocks me off my bike on the way to work.

He said it was a fluke. In other words, this is not a regular occurrence. Also, according to his description of the conditions, no one was on the road.
-
Well if nobody seems to be on the road, speed away!
-
That still doesn't change my point, the cop was not doing what he was being payed to do.

Would you rather a police officer enforce every single law on the books, without exception? Or would you rather them exercise some judgement and worry about the larger crimes?
-
I would rather have the first option. Because that will encourage people to actually obey the law regardless of their situation.

I encourage you to look up laws in your state before answering that question. Some of them were made over a century ago to enforce "morality" rather than protect the common good.

Someone who gets it. Thank you haha. Common sense is so hard to come by on these forums these days man. It's incredible.
-
Fuk yeah ! And give me those cops everyday!
-
Its their job to "protect and serve" not to give tickets. The tickets are a way of deterrent from speeding but as OP said he didnt have a criminal record so it's unlikely he speeds often.
-
Did OP say he doesn't have a criminal record?

Speeding makes driving more dangerous for others. Discouraging speeding reduces risk of accidents.
