Usually there can be both positive and negative options as a result of the client’s escalated behavior.

When the average street cop pulls you over to issue you a speeding ticket they would really like to do so with as little verbal resistance as possible. After all issuing speeding tickets is part of their job. When they ask if you know why they pulled you over, of course you say “I have no idea”. They respond with you were speeding. In addition the officer informs you that you were not wearing a seat belt; you have a broken tail light; your license plate tags are expired; and you could not produce your insurance card at the time of the traffic stop. However, the officer informs you that today they will only be issuing you a ticket for the speeding if you agree to take care of these other violations on your own.

    835 Words  | 4 Pages

    The posted speed limit is 55 miles an hour due to heavy cross traffic on a long stretch of the highway between the Pennsylvania state line and Frederick, Maryland.
