  Cops don't give cops tickets?

Original Article

I got stopped today for speeding, 46/25, the first time since I have been an auxiliary Police Officer. When the officer approached me, I didn't ID myself as a LEO. He went back to his car and came back with a summons and said he would cut me a break and not charge me for reckless driving but just for speeding. I thanked him and told that was great because I was an Auxiliary Police Officer and my Chief would have been mad at me for getting a reckless driving charge. He then said Oh, you are an offcier. I told him yes and he asked for my ID and I gave it to him. After he looked at my credentials, he took the summons back and ripped it up and said I should have told him earlier that I was a LEO and it would have saved me the hassle. I told him I didn't tell him or show him my police ID at first because i didn't want to seem pushy and that I was trying to get out of a ticket.
