A lot of officers extend what is known as professional courtesy to other cops, District Attorney;s, judges, nurses, doctors, EMTs. BUT, it depends on the violation too. If I pull over a District attorney or Judge, or even another officer for a DUI, I'm prosecuting them for it. But if it's a minor infraction, they might get a warning and let go.
But at the same time, eighty percent of the civilians I stop get warnings too. The twenty percent I cite earned their ticket either due to the violation, or their antics/ behaviour during the stop, or both.
I've written a state senator before, and the ticket simply...disappeared. But not by my doing, he earned that one.

ANSWER: NO TO EACH! The first officer might extend "professional couretsy" to them, but they are by no means exempt: case in point, the governor of our great state of Texas had his vehicle pulled over when he was still Leiutenant Governor. He got out of the vehicle and made a big scene of using his office to berate the officer ( a state trooper). The driver for Mr. Perry still got a ticket, and had the then Lt. Governor stayed in the car and kept his mouth shut, the driver might have recieved "professional courtesy" and been let go. So no, none of the above mentioned ppl are exempt.

Nobody is exempt, except for certain foreign dignitaries with diplomatic immunities. Which as far as I'm concerned is a bunch of BS. Just because the person is in law enforcement, or the judicial system does not put them above the law. However, most cops will give courtesy to other cops. But that also depends on the crime.

During my time in the military, I wrote tickets to a town mayor, several deputy sherrifs, an alderman, and a state trooper; on the military side of the house I've written tickets to every rank in the Air Force except brigadier general and major general. The only reason those two didn't get tickets is because I never caught someone of those ranks speeding.
My own personal standard for DUI was simple: if I caught you driving drunk, you went to jail. Period. I cost a full colonel his birds because of that, and ended the careers of several junior officers and senior NCOs...and no, I don't feel bad about it.
NO ONE is above the law. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE.

i personally know a detective that was arrested for DUI and several police officers that have been disciplined severely and or fired for their indiscretions. They are not exempt, but it is a touchy subject. I know of another officer that pulled over a government official and the office didn't want to let it go and he was told to let it go or he would be let go, and he was fired. It is not fair or right, but it is done. But to say that they all get away with these things is not a fair statement either.

Primer isn't unlawful, yet all he desires is a existence like suspicion that a criminal offense is or has got here approximately. driving a gray vehicle with plates registered to a pink one sounds extremely suspicious. From Wikipedia: existence like suspicion is a criminal customary of evidence in usa regulation this is under probable reason, the criminal customary for arrests and warrants, yet extra effective than an "inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or 'slump'?"; it may desire to be in keeping with "particular and articulable info", "taken which comprise rational inferences from those info". Police could quickly detain a guy or woman in the event that they have existence like suspicion that the guy has been, is, or is approximately to be engaged in criminal interest; this variety of detention is in general a Terry supply up.
