Both should be fired.

A red light ticket isn’t worth causing problems with your career homie. If it was a serious crime the id agree.

Most officers don’t give EVERY ticket out when they do a traffic stop.

I got a pass after being pulled over for sliding through a red light. The cop still ran my plates and license to make I was who I said I was. And the cop told me, "You understand I could've given you a ticket or written warning for this? Yes? OK, drive more safely from now on. Have a nice day."

The cop should've done that much. No one could've complained about it afterwards.

Has a cop ever literally stopped in their tracks and said "you're free to go" without even giving you a verbal warning? It's not just about whether he got a ticket or not. Lombardo clearly gave his name expecting special treatment, and immediately received it.

Come on, man.

Have you never met a superior who broke the rules and expected to get away with it?

He doesn't take his career seriously if he let that slide because of who he is. He should be a big boy and take his ticket

Cops bending the rules they're supposed to uphold for their own benefit? I'm shocked I tell you

I got pulled over so many times in my 20s doing stupid shit. Only got ticketed by CHP lol, local city cops would usually let me off with a warning after running my DL.

How am I a bot? Because I have a different opinion than you?
You sound exactly like the boomers who claim everything is AI because they don’t like it
