Heck, I dont' have a problem with the discretionary nature of such things EXCEPT in the case where LEOs give carte blanch to other LEOs to do as they please. This smacks of "do as I say, not as I do", and it sets a bad example for people observing such actions.
Quite frankly if a LEO gets pulled over for speeding while in civies, he or she shouldn't even flash their ID or badge expecting to get let off. I find it pretty difficult to respect any LEO that would do such a thing. The fact that you are a an off duty LEO is no excuse for breaking the law.
IMHO, of course.
