Hog on hog action

Today, I pulled someone over for speeding. He was only 10 over the speed limit so I gave him an $84 fine. It turns out he is a workplace Occupational Health and Safety officer and because I wasn't wearing my high visibilty vest while standing on the side of the road he gave me a $250 fine. FML

Yeah, God forbid he actually did his job. It's scum like you who think it's okay to break the law if it's "only a little."

Yeah I know. Totally. F*ck him for pulling someone over that was going over the speed limit. I hate when cops pull people over for breaking the law. What a c*ckhole of a policeman.

YOU DESERVE IT. Pretty much EVERYWHERE I've driven, speed limits are OVERLY cautious, so ten over, whether km or mi, is really insignificant.

Not exempt from punishment just because everyone else does it... I speed myself, but I agree with this cop. If I get busted, that's MY fault, not the cop's. Cop is just doing his job. That's like saying... if you were a cashier, and people could only write checks for over ten dollars in your store, you should allow some customer to write for over twenty dollars because that's what everybody wants to/tries to do. No. It's store policy. Doesn't matter what you think or what other people think, you need to be a good worker and follow the rules. And the rules say for this cop that he has to pull over speeding people. I'm actually more disappointed in the cops who let people get away with it, because it shows they have no respect for their job, submit to peer pressure ("everyone does it!"), and that probably when a big bust comes down and the person happens to be a friend, relative, a nice person, etc, they'd let them go (no resolve).

(god damn lag and time limits don't work together lol) And, I personally have to wonder... if the cop had pulled over someone else but still wasn't wearing his vest, would this guy have fined him? Basically, I'm thinking the guy was just out for revenge. Don't get me wrong though, the cop still deserves his fine for not having the vest on. They both deserve it simultaneously for breaking the law, not for doing their jobs, which in turn corrected each other... which is what makes this rather amusing.

I heard that exact story on the radio a couple of weeks ago

You deserve it pig, you were probably jealous because he might beat you to the donut shop.

I doubt this is true because cops don't determine fines. If it somehow is true, **** you cop. You're all hypocrites, proven by the ticket you got.
