Exactly! In Calif, a police officer is actually treated a little more harshly, as we are expected to know the laws. If I were caught street racing, which I NEVER do, I would get the car impounded, and probably forfeited. Then after all the legal stuff is over, I'd have to deal with the ramifications of Internal Affairs....it seems street racing is "Conduct unbecoming of an officer" and will bring a bad light to my department. So, I get special treatment alright. I have it twice as bad!
