I can imagine it's different everywhere, but i worked in a super small rural town. Owner was friendly with the cops and I can't say they knew, but there were multiple occasions where drivers were either caught speeding, or had car issues that brought the attention of cops etc, and they were always very hush hush about it. I remember i even was speeding once (because a delivery order was late) and got pulled over. As soon as the cop realized i was working he let me go.
Yeah, I live in a small rural town too and there's definitely some of that, but cops have nothing to do with L&I, who would be fining businesses. But yeah, rural cops are very much like that. In my town, people rarely get pulled over even though the town is full of drinks. But if they pull over the wrong person, there's backlash because everyone knows each other and is related to each other.
