It needs to change! Perhaps change the laws to make it clear that if anyone, because of their political, social or economic status attempt to seek preferential treatment from officers, the cop and the rich dude will both be additionally punished. Make it the same as bribery laws.impartialobserver » 29 Jun 2022, 12:19 pm » wrote: ↑ And you think that this preferential treatment towards those who have money is going to stop? I agree that they should pay the price just like anyone else... just not sure how you would go about changing this.

Much of what they do is recorded now anyway. So, if there is any mention of the person's status or fame, like "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" - that would cause an extra penalty and, the cop could get in trouble if its found preferential treatment was given. Just like taking a bribe, I really see no difference. Now, would some cops still take a bribe? Probably, but they ain't as likely to accept a bribe if there weren't tough laws against bribery.impartialobserver » 29 Jun 2022, 12:27 pm » wrote: ↑ How would you word this law so that there was zero chance for an officer to conveniently say, "Sir, I am going to cite you for inattentive driving.. so get on home" instead of "Sir, you need to take this breathalyzer. Please step out of the vehicle" and so on? Or them hiring high paid lawyers who exploit every loophole in existing law?
And cops also are given discretion as to when they record the incident. So then it would seem as if they would have to consent to have their every action recorded. Every second that they are on shift, they would need to be recorded. Consequently, there would have to be quite the crew that downloaded, organized, and watched all of these videos.Skans » 29 Jun 2022, 12:31 pm » wrote: ↑ Much of what they do is recorded now anyway.

I don't have the perfect "law" to stop people getting preferential treatment. I just know that its wrong and some effort should go into stopping it.impartialobserver » 29 Jun 2022, 12:34 pm » wrote: ↑ And cops also are given discretion as to when they record the incident.

He was arrested and probably fined. Can you disclose what he has gotten away with?
On another note, I have been in that same area before, Oakville CA. $25 tasting fees, $50 minimum for a bottle, etc. It always amazes how people spend such obscene amounts of money on wine.
