I always wondered about warnings. Are those actual methods of law enforcement that are written down somewhere? It's an obvious method to show favoritism to certain people. Like if a friend or local politician is pulled over. Or maybe the wife of a cop. Think about it, someone breaks the law so you decide to pull them over. Why should there be any other element that decides if they get punished for breaking that law? They either did nor did not. Attitude or gender or who they are should not enter into the equation.
As far as I can see, every cop should get an automatic ticket every week because they always violate multiple laws every time I see one. They always drive way over the speed limit, and they also tailgate on the highway. Plus my favorite is when they jump out from behind a tree and point a radar gun at your car. If you jumped out from behind a tree and pointed something at them, that would be sufficient cause for them to shoot at you - so I don't see why they are allowed to do it.

I'm glad your world is so black and white with no gray area. I personally would fell like an ass if I wrote you a ticket for 3 MPH over the limit, rolling through a stop sign, rushing your pregnant wife to the hospital, being unfamiliar with the area, your license plate light burned out and you didn't know it, your license expired last week and you didn't get the notice in the mail, or you name the minor violation or reasonable excuse. The next time you get pulled over, please tell the officer that you don't agree with warnings and I'm sure he or she will be happy to give you a ticket instead.
