 I agree about "skin color" & such but I think if you're polite to the cop
 & he feels like giving you a break on the ticket he should be allowed
 to do so.   OTOH, if you act like an @$$ then it's well within his
 perogative
 to ticket you for exactly what you did wrong.

    You're saying if the cop likes you he can give you a break and if does'nt
like you he can throw the book at you.  The enforcement of the law must be
fair, impartial, and consistant.  Tom is correct on his point.
