Cops, have you written tickets to other cops? What happened during and after?

1. Policed in a smaller town (20,000 pop) for 8 years. I was a military transplant, didn’t know anyone locally when I was hired. Lots of good old boys and friends of friends that could get away with almost anything. Had a city councilwoman who believed no parking signs on her street didn’t pertain to her. One particular shift about 2AM, out of sheer frustration I guess, I found her truck parked in the street and decided to wake her and politely ask her to move it (thank god for body cameras.) Next morning at 9 AM I was awoken by a phone call from my “superior” that a formal complaint had been filed for vulgar language and intimidation by said councilwoman. Again, thank god for body cameras.

2. I once pulled a deputy from a neighboring County over for a minor traffic violation (speeding under 15mph). As I approached the drivers side, the driver held his badge and ID out the window. He stated he was off-duty and armed with his service weapon. Before I could say anything else, he said "I know I was speeding and I expect a citation, not a warning or a verbal." He handed me his drivers license, registration and insurance. I still asked if he had a reason for the excess. He smiled and said "no excuses, go ahead and cut the ticket". I went back to the patrol car, wrote up the violation and came back. I handed back his information. He took it and said, (something like)" it's good we can hold each other to the same standard as JQP". We briefly chatted a about mutual acquaintances, he drove off and I went back to work. When his court date came up, he showed up in uniform and in front of everyone, he pled guilty before the Magistrate. He then paid the clerk. He could've just paid online or mailed it in. In my state you aren't required to appear in court if you've paid the ticket prior. He made a point to show everyone there he wasn't above the law.

3. My father had to arrest a Retired NYPD officer for a DWI in NC. It was interesting to say the least. He was a dick. Acted like my father was disrespecting the badge by arresting another officer.

4. I always had a thing against drunk drivers when I was a policeman. Found out pretty quick that cops made up a high percentage of offenders (late 1970's) and I was pretty quickly ostracized after locking a few of them up.

5. Not a cop, but this happened near what I lived. Cop gave a ticket to the police commissioner. http://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/2157?nondesktop Edit: typo

6. A friend's father was the Commander of the local State Police Post. He lived by a railroad track that had been out of use for several decades yet there was still a stop sign at the crossing by his house. Everyone knew this sign was obsolete and no one stopped for it. He was pulled over by a local town police officer and issued a ticket for running the stop sign. Officer told my friends father, "just because you are a state patrolman doesn't give you the right to run this stop sign". A couple days later, friends father was going to lunch in his state cruiser and the town officer speeds by him in his town cruiser. State Trooper pulls him over and gives him a speeding ticket. Friends father tells him "just because you are a town cop and driving a police car doesn't give you the right to speed and break the law when you are not responding to a call".

7. Not a cop, but just wanted to share this video posted a while ago of a cop arresting a drunk driving lieutenant who kept refusing: https://youtu.be/v6HvvPC2hL0

8. Yes. Nothing scandalous or anything. It was something basic that I would not typically ticket for. I think failing to stop when entering a public road from a business or something. Anyway, the individual immediately pulled out some out of state law enforcement ID instead of his license. I had to awkwardly tell him to provide the license, insurance, registration and he went on about his years of service in whatever state. The rest of the stop went as usual, once I could get him to provide the documentation. I ran his information and served him a citation. It drives me crazy when people try and pull the LEO card. Just, be cool. He must have plead guilty and paid it, though, because I had no further involvement.
