Laws Don’t Apply to Heroes

Here’s a video documenting another case of law enforcers not enforcing the law… on law enforcers.

A man who had been issued a ticket – that is, ordered to hand over a sum of money as punishment for violating the law requiring both a front and a rear license plate – went to the local police department parking lot, where he video’d several vehicles without front license plates (and one – a Chevy Tahoe – with no license plates at all) but no tickets being handed out.

A law enforcer was present, so the man approached him to ask why he wasn’t doing anything to enforce the law which was enforced without mercy on him. As they talk, the SUV with no plates at all starts up and leaves. The law enforcer takes no action to enforce the law prohibiting the operation of a vehicle on public roads without tags. He expresses no “concern” about this “suspicious” vehicle.

He is also indifferent about the several other vehicles – all of them apparently personal vehicles, not for “official use only” – parked nearby without front tags.

The guy recording the video asks the law enforcer whether he is electing not to enforce the law because the cars without tags (or only one tag) are owned by fellow law enforcers. The law enforcer does not directly answer this question but instead claims there is no violation of law because the vehicles are parked (try that excuse next time you get ticketed for not having a front plate).

xcept for the plate-less Tahoe, which started up and backed out of its parking spot as they talked. In plain view of a law enforcer.

There was no “hot pursuit.”

Instead, what is known as the Blue Discount was applied. This is like the Race Card; both grant special privileges and immunities which the rest of us are not supposed to question. If we do, it is considered to be racist with regard to the former and “anti-cop” with regard to the latter.

The plate-less Tahoe departed without incident.

They Have a Job to Do, you see. Stop interfering.
