Oral board scenarios

[Big Chief]

The board asks if you'd give your mom a ticket. Everyone I've ever talked to about this has said the correct answer is "no."

The board says you pull over a good-looking woman and give her a ticket. A few days later, your supervisor informs you that she was the mistress of his captain and she'll go to his wife and tell him all about the affair unless you fix the ticket. Do you fix the ticket? If you say no, the board will question you as to why it's okay to let your mom off but not the mistress. What do you do?

A no brainer to me. Fixing the ticket for the captian is an integrity issue. Fix it, and you have no integrity. Choosing not give your mother a ticket is police discretion. Nothing more. Cops utilize discretion and give warnings to motorist they dont even know, all the time. Why should your own mother deserve less.

Joe hit it right outta the park, thats the way and really the only way to answer that one.
