    The trooper should have written him a ticket, doing the right thing by the law. I wonder if this same situation happens in other states and isn't noticed.

    There was actually a lady who was stopped in Tennessee recently because she had an Ohio St. decal on her back window, and the cops pulled her over and searched her whole car because they believed it was a decal that signified involvement in drug trade somehow...

    You wonder? Southern California newspapers often mention that police flash badges to escape speeding tickets. The driver is annoyed that he has to do even that much. The policeman who was going to write the ticket walks away, pissed at the arrogance. It's no secret there, the default par for the course, standard operating procedure, and included uncritically in articles.

    This example of bias is kind of weird too.. He got fired for not giving a state representative a speeding ticket. Yeah, it's not right, but that's like the lightest side of police bias.

    The Republican lawyer is a big shot in the Legislature, and fires anyone who shows him up. He's not used to taking orders, and knows how to manipulate the office politics system of reward and punishment. To remain at the top of his inner world psychological pyramid, he got the cop into trouble.

    1%ers own all law enforcement in the nation.

    That kind of sucks. He decided to cut the guy a break and gets fired.

    maybe it was favor . . . State troopers write tickets all day, wouldn't be the most enjoyable job, IMO.
