I gotta be honest, I doubt anyone here has benefitted from"officer discretion" more than I have in my life, the aforementioned last two tickets I got, the one on Wyoming the cop asked me what I topped out at, he said he held 125 mph for 15 minutes and never caught sight of me, I said I didn't notice, he wrote me for 81 in a 70. The other was local, cop clocked me at 75 in a 45, he said " I can't write you for 30 over, they'll crucify you, how about 56 in a 45?"
And if I had all the nickel bags back that cops scattered in the wind or dumped down a sewer grate back in the 70s.....
