I think the law should apply to any citizen but reality is that it doesn't. I was simply trying to explain the justification, maybe that's not the right word, but reason as to why gov't employees get special treatment.

You're right.. and the law does apply to everyone. But LEOs have let people in ALL fields go, for multiple infractions. Sometimes it's the guy who had been drinking and shouldn't be driving, but he gets called a cab and is told it is a learning experience, and sometimes it's the guy who made an illegal U-turn. It's not only LEOs that get breaks; and not every LEO gets a break.

.A 25 year old cop with a lead foot while not in hot pursuit is frowned upon by the veterans in blue...

Oops, I voted too soon! 
Drove Texas to Montana, to Nevada, and back to Texas, and got one on the last leg. Bummer.
But, in Idaho, I got to see what 128 mph was like. Smoooooth.

Got my first one Friday
Nailed by Laser on the service road of the freeway around 4:30 PM. Officer said, "If it makes you fell any better, I've been doing this since 6 AM - your the fastest one yet!"
He said he clocked me at 67 (in a 40), but wrote me up for 50 - Happy Holidays!

Every job has its perks. I guess one of them being for police officers is that they get let off with a warning each time, but they aren't going to get out of bad stuff like DUIs and drug offensives. Just like being a Toyota employee gets you sweet deals on Lexus'. It's all apart of the game called life.

It's all fine and dandy until...
You manage to tag something or someone doing Mach 1 and they (AKA "The Man") pull the telemetry data from the onboard "black box". Oops...the crash data recorder says you were trying to set a new land speed record.
