And he didn't "let me off", I don't think he intended to write me a ticket to begin with, plus, sure I was going 40 in a 35, but I've talked to CPD officers, and they've all said that they give 7mph leeway...so yeah, he was just being a dick. But of course another cop is gonna take the cops side.
He did too "let you off". Just because some police officer that you talked to said that they give a 7 mph leeway doesn't make the area you were in a 42 mph zone. You were over the limit, you knew you were over the limit and he had every right to pull you over and give you ticket for it. As for what transpired, we weren't there and don't know exactly what happened, so there's not much I can say about it. Plus, you don't know what the cop was thinking or what he knew. Just be happy you got out of a ticket and stop complaining aobut his actions. If it was that bad, call his superior and lodge a complaint.
And blah on you joebenz..
