I work in court and unfortunately you see this sort of thing among state workers as well. I agree with Matt in that this is a quite brazen example though.
Yeah, anyone who denies the preferential treatment that is given out anywhere is naive or part of the problem. Even when it isn't involving law enforcement/judicial systems it is a problem for the public sector to engage in. The unfortunate truth is that this is considered one of the benefits of working in the public sector by many. It often seems small and immaterial, but it can raise legitimate constitutional questions. The goals of both the private and public sectors are effectiveness and efficiency, but the public sector adds equity. It is what makes us different, and things like this run contrary to those aims.
I'll get off my soapbox for now.
