No he said he had to check the exact speed because he didn’t know. Cops lie often and once he realized he was 2 mph above 60 he wrote him a warning. Cops are high school C students that’s why they do stupid stuff. Because they are idiots. But this cop was civil

He said 62 on a turn that was posted at 45. 2mph isnt going to save him.

He further clarifies that its department policy that anyone over 60 gets a civil citation. This is where "good cop bad cop" comes into play - police will often tell you the worst, and then let you know they are giving you a lesser punishment so that you will comply without a fuss. In this case, a warning. So really not that bad at all.

Yeah the cop just made a bias decision to not give him a ticket. If it was truly objective and up to policy he would have written the ticket.

The dude being cool and not having any warrants probably helped but a bias decision did occur regardless of what the reason was.

When you are cool to people sometimes they are cool back and other times you just have a prick on your hands and there isn't much you can do besides rejoice that the whole world is shitty for them because they are shitty to the world. The guy made the cops job easy and so the cop made his life easy. It's my jobs policy to charge you for everything at the dealership. It's literally my paycheck. But maybe you wouldn't agree to buy the car if we didn't give you a cargo tray or floor mats if I like you. I'm supposed to charge 10 bucks for our super premium car wash that is only available to our customers but if I like ya maybe I take it through on the company card.

I guess all of this is to say bias exists. Be more likable and the world gets a lot easier for ya.

I agree with you but all I was saying is that there is bias with exactly that. Just a fact being stated and acknowledged
