Despite the bad rap many cops get here, most of them are great people who risk their lives for us EVERYDAY!! 
I'm glad that your officer was so cool with you!

I'm glad that your officer was so cool with you! Agreed, there are some really cool cops out there - just like any other group there are A-holes too and they get the majority of the press so good cops get a bad rap. You will never hear positive stories on the news at night

In my experiences, most cops do favor a vet (and many of them are vets as well.) 
+1
I think the key to this incident was mutual respect shown. Many stops turn into pissing contests when the violator acts like an ahole.
Respect begets respect.
I'm glad for your "happy ending".

+1 The cop has a job to do, I understand that. Besides, you will always lose that pissing contest, it you choose to be an A-hole they will happily show you that they can be a bigger one if you push them. Be courteous and be there 5-10 mins, be an A-hole and you will be there a lot longer and get a bigger ticket.
