police chief tickets himself- dont you think this ws a very honest act?

I think that was a very honest act and honorable act as well. He considers himself like any other people and thats because he knows that he is not better than anyone and everyone should be equal.

This actually really surprised me. My opinion of most law enforcement individuals, isn't very high. I've seen cops use lights just to get through a stoplight and then turn them off, I've seen them flip on their lights going 80 to pull into Pizza Hut and come out with a pizza. Generally my opinion of MOST, not all, police officers is that they have power to abuse. So it's nice to see one who doesn't, and gives me hope for others who won't.

Wow! Do such honest people still exist in today's world..brilliant! He sure set a very fine example:)

I saw this article on news this morning and it may help to give a plus for the bad publicity the police are earning for themselves.

He gets my vote for President. That is honesty to the max. On second thought, he would be way out of his class as a politician. He would have to compromise his standards to fit in.

Oh, wow! It gives me a lot more faith in the world and in society in general to read uplifting news stories like this one! I don't know if I could have even been that honest. I mean, that's a lot of money that he had to ticket himself for.. my gosh. And from what you said here, what he did was an accident in the first place! I think that the city should give him back his money, if you want to know what my thoughts are. He did the right thing, and he said that he drove by that bus as an accident, and I think that it would be a great thing if he were given his money back. ^_^

This was surprising to hear as this probably does not happen very often where an officer gives himself a ticket. That was very honest of him to do that and it shows he made a mistake and did not let it go. He sets a very good example for the rest of us that he would do something like that. He made an honest mistake by passing the stopped school bus. I bet most cops would not do such a thing if they passed a bus.

well i think kudo's and big applause for this! How many times have we ever heard of an officer of the law doing something like this??? I think he actually should be awarded for showing unbiased law enforcement. I for one, would like to shake his hand!

which country are u talkiing abt??? this is a very noble act i say.... bcoz ppl with powers do not generally do this and $235 is not a small amount i feel....u can see ppl with power misusing their power but the good use i saw it for the first time....this is very good.... i really appreciate this act!!!!!!

This man is a hero in my mind. He could have just ignored the situation and gone about his day. Obviously he has a concious and used it. I think he deserves to be Police Chief.

I think it is a very honest act. We need more people like him in the high places.

That is very honest, but was it really necessary? Police officers also speed, but I'm sure he doesn't give himself a ticket for that too. At least we know there's one honest cop in this world. :P

I think it's a very honest and admirable thing to do, and also pretty humourous. I don't think I've ever heard of a policeman ticketing himself before.
