Can a cop pull another cop over for speeding?



    




Caramel O
if the cop speeding is off duty, than yes an officer while on duty can pull them over. There is no way of knowing that the speeder is a cop...

if they are both in police cars its unlikely it would ever happen. We have radios and computers where we can communicate things like "where's the fire?"

YES
But the rules do not apply to them !
Is it because they are above or below the law?

If the cop is off duty, sure they can.

When a police officer pulls over an off-duty officer or an officer's family member it is professional courtesy to waive the ticket.

Yes. A cop does not have any speeding rights when s/he is off-duty or is not in a situation where s/he is authorized to speed.

Since cops are citizens, they are also subject to the law.

Though, logistically, this rarely happens because cops know each other and do not want to alienate each other. Cops often decide to let people go even when they do have a case for a ticket because of sympathy, and similar reasons usually apply to speeding cop cars.

However, it's definitely possible. I've actually seen it happen in my city, and let's just say - that cop is probably not very popular at the police station.

Usually cops speed if they're going to an important scene, so they could just use that excuse if they really were truly speeding just because they were idiots.

Now this only works if it's in a cop car. If it's in a regular car they probably get the normal fine and most likely lose their badge.
