My ex was (may still be) a cop - his nickname was "Wing Vent." Did not get that moniker by having a sense of humor, that's for sure..... Here's hoping he mellowed out in his later years.
I bet you'd pull someone over for speeding and joke about just wanting to check out their truck. And then not give her a ticket!

I have been in a speeding detail for a certain area (must write a citation) issued the citation, break contact (ending the scope of the stop) walk back towards the driver and talk "trucks" off of the record. During a traffic stop if the driver is cool, I will tell them several ways they can make the citation nothing. If they yell an curse I explain what I am required and walk away. It's all on audio and video. It does not pay to be a JA on either side.

The one thing I always make a point of is pulling over in an area where it is safe for the leo. I will not stop on the side of the freeway, or anywhere else where it's dangerous to stand at a car window. I'll put on my flashers to acknowledge the lights, then pick a spot where he can approach the truck without worrying about getting hit. If I'm on the freeway I take the first exit, then find a driveway or parking lot off that.
And I'm always very, very nice - yes sir, no sir, I know I was speeding sir and I have no excuse except my truck is too fun to drive!

If people don't pull to a safe area, I will yell on the horn or approach them and we will both move etc. Courtesy is always a winner. I may have to write you a citation (depending on violation etc) but if you are courteous and listen to me, the citation should not run into anything further than a fine. I can help with programs to make sure it goes away.

The zones I work in include southern Illinois. I have spent a lot of time in mount Vernon, Springfield, and Urbana. I hope I can run into you some day. Nothing on the horizon but things pop up every day. I'm sitting near Joplin, mo right now.
Be good, for what it's worth I have a huge amount of respect for officers, troopers, Sherrif, and of course military personnel. Thanks for what you do. I can only relate to you by virtue of doing a short stint in the army, nothing compared to your time of service though.
