How often do off duty cops get pulled over?

Question

also, how many traffics violations are cops allowed to get when off duty? this is for texas area

Answer 1

My hubby gets pulled over often. It is hard for off-duty cops to drive like a civilian when they are used to driving like a cop 12 hours a day 3-4 days a week.

Cops don't ticket other cops for minor traffic infractions (professional courtesy) First driving over the speed limit is considered dangerous driving for the average joe-shmoe, but an officer is trained to drive the way they do, so it's not really considered a dangerous driving circumstance. Also if a cop gets a tickets on their record he/she can lose their job, a civialian would only have higher insurance and a fine.
