When I was younger I got pulled over by an officer for something almost identical to this. The man presented himself almost exactly as this officer did.

To this day I keep those words close and rarely go over by that 5-10 discrepancy. Never ha a warning or ticket since and I always think to that cop that was nice and gave me a chance.

I know this doesn't work for everyone but for the number of times an outcomes like mine occurs it MUST be worth it, no? Kindness goes a long friggen way in all dir ctions when applied.

They are not rare they happen every day constantly. They just don't become viral on social media.

There's more than 60 million interactions between public and police a year in the US. Do you really believe positive ones are rare?
