If you were in a position to let a Woman escape a speeding ticket.. Whats the Least you'd settle for?

Question

Are you incorruptible, do you have a threshold?

We all know women can manipulate on the basis of emotion and beauty, so for me the question becomes...

What's the least you'd settle for?

(If you are a woman do feel free to answer as if the question was male/fem, or whatever suits your particular orientation)

Interesting reply TS, I would like to say the same myself, but I wonder if that is in fact possibly a way to manipulate people like you and I. The whole question is an ethical minefield.

Are any of us immune from being manipulated on the basis of our social prejudices?

Answer 1

I would never say that I'm incorruptible, but I've resisted some PRETTY pretty and PRETTY FORWARD manipulators where that's concerned.

I try to be fair and objective in all my dealings with the public but I find myself giving in to prejudice in surprising ways!

For instance: An ugly woman is far more apt to get a warning from me than an attractive one (that tries to manipulate me). I guess that makes me prejudiced against pretty women :-) But I just can't have the lady driving off thinking she got over on me because of my "weakness" as a man. And I have never pulled anyone over because they were a pretty lady.

Another example of my prejudice: A black guy is far more apt to get a warning from me than a white guy. I guess that makes me prejudiced against my own race :-) But I just find myself being (maybe overly) sensitive to the racial tension in this country (USA) and particularly the South (GA) and want to "do my part" to get the message out there: "Wow, that white dude was pretty decent to me." Or whatever black guys say when they get a break from a Georgia cop :-) And I have never pulled anyone over because they were black. Half the time it's dark and can't make out the color of the car, much less the color of the occupants.

But mostly I base my decisions on attitude. I usually save friendly warnings for people that will ALLOW me to be friendly to them. Writing tickets is a terrible way to meet people! I hate writing tickets unless it's a really dangerous or obnoxious offense and really begs a ticket.

Answer 2

The least I would settle for has to be a little more than the maximum a pretty woman has to offer.It's just a matter of give and take, albeit, in a slightly different manner. I know that two wrongs wouldn't make a right but neither would they make a wrong any worst.

Answer 3

I didn't get a ticket once, when I was 17. I was going about 7 miles over and I was going slower than everybody else. I was so shocked that I started to cry. The officer just told me to be careful. I wonder, now, if he just wanted to get a closer look at me. That's all he got, a look.
So, I guess I'd let a cute guy go in the same situation.
C. :)!!

Answer 4

I can be very weak and vulnerable to manipulations as well. My threshold would be as far as my self-containment could keep me. We all have a limit, I would like to hope I have more self control and better judgement than letting someone get away, but at the end, I'm still a human with senses and weaknesses. It doesn't justify my wrongdoing, but that's the reality of it.

EDIT:

Actually I'm ashamed, but I once taught a college course and this girl who was highly attractive and knew exactly how to use her "helpnessness" and "girliness" got a better grade than she should have. I realized later that I was manipulated at my own will.

Answer 5

I'll be honest. I'd cheerfully give a woman a ticket (crying or flirting) and let anybody off if he or she acted courteously and contrite.

As someone who so obviously has a chip on his shoulder about women and speeding tickets, I'd probably get written up once some police statistician discovered how many tickets I gave to women - even though they were speeding, it would be a major deviation from the average.

Answer 6

I don't think I'd sell my integrity.

Well some Summersville WV "officers" apparently had the racket in the article for a while. Bad thing is one of the women they stopped and made the offer to was a federal judge. She accepted the ticket, had her voice activated recorder going, and came back to the area for her 'court' date! The officers aren't there anymore. Seems there were 3 of them, and other women came forward.

Answer 7

There was a story of a adult film "actress" giving an officer a BJ. Some how word got out to the rest of the force and she disappeared for a while....*off to search for the story*.

I am a teacher and can handle small children trying to manipulate me. I am also a very just person and feel there are consequences when laws/rules are broken. Quite frankly there isn't much I would go for.

EDIT- Here it is.... She had drugs too!!

Answer 8

Kate here.
If I was in the position to let a man escape a speeding ticket I would ask the offender to guarantee that he would not do it again.
If a man was in the position to allow me to escape a ticket I would expect the same from him.
That is why I would have never made in into our constabulary!

Answer 9

You know, we're all having a good time joking about this topic but there was a time in our not too distance history when cops would purposely stop pretty women expressly to flirt with them and ask for their phone number.

Answer 10

My corruption threshhold is a little higher than whatever I could get for a speeding ticket, lol.

I've been there done that with the desperadoes, I'll wait for a better offer nowadays, thanks, lol ;-P

Cheers :-)
