[QUOTE="Zinc03Cobra, post: 15952252, member: 12811"] I can only speak from my personal experience... but as someone who has had many tickets and has written many tickets this is my take. The habitual offenders don't give AF. They will continue their bad habits and take their chances with their terrible driving. These are the ones that weave in and out of traffic, talk on their cell phone, cause collisions but adamantly blame the other driver for being at fault. These people are the worst. The once and a while violators (which I was), slowed the F down for a long time till that ticket fell off. The reasonable citizen will slow down, stop whatever it is their doing, take their licks, and move on. Traffic school is generally an acceptable option and we never see them again. I've pulled over the same people, in the same spot, for the same violation before. Little to no mercy was given. A simple police presence (to me) only makes compliance temporary. I wasn't rewarded for writing 20 tickets versus no tickets. In fact, there were days I didn't write anyone and sent people on with a warning. Discretion plays a real role and I think most officers can gauge whether someone is deserving of a warning. Just my 2 cents. I've left patrol and moved onto an executive protection branch within my dept. [/QUOTE]
