"Pulling rank...Reply to thf:<BR/><BR/>I applaud your honesty. "Pulling rank" is really quite detrimental to the moral health of our society. The question is this: is the king above the law or not? Samuel Rutherford wrote his book <I>Lex Rex</I> to show that indeed the king is most definitely <B>not</B> above the law. Far from it. He should be the most zealous in keeping it. C. S. Lewis had a good perspective on this in <I>The Horse and his Boy</I>, when King Lune wants to make Cor king instead of Corin. It's a good passage. <BR/><BR/>In Christ.Adrian C.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have a lead foot,...Yep. I agree wholeheartedly. I have a lead foot, so I tend to get pulled over quite frequently. <BR/><BR/>As a former prosecutor and current attorney for a number of police officers and police departments, I am part of the law enforcement community. When I was a prosecutor, I was even pulled over in the very county in which I was considered the "second highest ranking law enforcement officer." But, unlike many of my colleagues, I would never ever let it be known during a traffic stop that I have any connection to law enforcement. <BR/><BR/>I simply tell the officer the truth (usually that I wasn't paying attention). Often they use their discretion to let me off the hook anyway (I think because I am very polite and possibly because I am female). But it's always as a regular citizen, not because I have tried to get special treatment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921510.post-1146531220251523302006-05-01T19:53:00.000-05:002006-05-01T19:53:00.000-05:00Yes, agreed to TIOC :).Yes, agreed to TIOC :).Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270306505994055790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921510.post-1146491854945371402006-05-01T08:57:00.000-05:002006-05-01T08:57:00.000-05:00Well, you seem to have said it all.

Shouldn't they, because of their position, be held to a <I>higher</I> standard, if anything? I remember being quite aghast when my government teacher, who was a former policemen, unashamedly relayed to my class the time he caught a sheriff in a DUI and let him off free - a "job perk" he called it! One of my friends has a brother-in-law who is a policeman, and his wife was telling us that he refuses to wheedle his way out of a ticket because of his job. Yay for him! <BR/><BR/>Okay, off my soapbox.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270306505994055790noreply@blogger.com
