and on the contrary, it should be on the news for him, not doing a "nice thing".
it was nice for you that you saved some money on tickets but if u think about it, we have tickets to fines for ur actions so that when given, it has an impact on u, and hopefully make you obey the laws that are made to provide safety and better environment for the people. citizens give police the authority to do give such tickets and expect too but instead he didnt so that u can find him nice.
he let you go easy and gave u no consequence. a warning could make u think twice before doing what u did again but im sure a fine wouldve been more effective, despite the fact that u might have a dislike for him. | Where did I saw it was newsworthy? I never said that, all I was implying was per the OP's title: Not all cops are bad cops. This guy was a nice fellow. And no, him giving me tickets wouldn't have made me think about it more.. It would have quite simply pissed me off, made me stress, hamper my health, work more instead of study. So really, ya..

From the wording of the article (and the news report I saw on TV), it sounds like this officer went beyond the scope of the search, on her own initiative. If nothing else, she has good instincts... it certainly is newsworthy.

Police officers are expected to do good, it comes with the job. I agree that if a Police officer goes above and beyond the call of duty to do something good, then by all means they should be commended.
However, while they are expected to do good, they are also expected to never do any bad. They are expected to never do bad because they are in a position of public trust, they hold much more power than your average citizen. That's why a judge usually takes a police officer's word over yours.
So when they do bad, they also breech that trust, which is why there's far more outcry over the bad. Yes a few bad apples spoil the lot, but for people in their position of power, there shouldn't be ANY bad apples.
