Re: Cop didn't care about CHL - still wrote me two tickets.
I think a LEO has his/her mind 99% made up about whether or not to issue a citation before he gets out of his car. Hardly anything you say or do will change that. There are things you can do to make the situation worse.

Re: Cop didn't care about CHL - still wrote me two tickets.
On a recent radio talk show, a local attorney who specializes in defending traffic tickets gave a couple of suggestions:
#1 rule - Don't do anything memorable.
#2 - Before the officer gets out/off his/her vehicle discretely mess up your hair (if you have any).
#3 - Be couteous but stare straight ahead so that the officer's memory is only of your profile.
#4 - Don't get chatty. Don't plead. Just accept it and deal with it later.
I'm with those who wonder why some CHL holders would expect preferential treatment. The officer is just doing his job.
