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.

It's all about RESPECT. However if you think everyone should be treated equally, tickets should be issued EVERTIME. So when you are 0.5mph over the speed limit, boom you get a ticket. When you switch lanes without a signal, another ticket. OR you can give the cops the opportunity to use their judgement, if you respect them and show you are decent human being that slipped up, yu may be treated exactly that way. If you decide to take th nasty rude approach, you will also earn that same amount of respect. They are human too and deserve to be treated as such.
I can just see you going into a hamburger joint and insulting the cook,,, and then wondering why your burger tastes funny.
