Also, it's about his attitude of thinking he's above the law.
And, given their history, it's likely that they'll look the other way.
WRONG. Back in my 20's, I sped past a policeman doing 120 in a 55 at night. I didn't realize it was a state cop and him and his partner said I was going so fast that their radar gun couldn't get me. They turned around and was going triple digits to catch me. When they finally caught me, I was doing 70 in a 45. I fully cooperated with them and they said they would knock it down to 15 over. They said they knew I was going well over 100, but were going to cut me slack since they didn't tag me and I slowed down and cooperated. They could have made up a number and said that's what I was doing and pulled me out of the car and took my license or what else. Being nice and cooperative goes a long way to getting off. I've been pulled over quite a few times for various things like expired inspection, brake lights out, speeding, etc. I only ever received 3 tickets. I don't speed anymore because I'm getting older and I value my life now and the car I'm driving. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not proud of my past. I'm pretty embarrassed about some of the things I did and shocked I didn't get in trouble for it, but it's to prove that normal people do sometimes get off and aren't always punished for it.
