That is truly BS. So much for looking out for a fellow public servant. I guess there are a lot of small people with big power where you are.
My sister had a boyfriend years ago that would pull out his deceased fathers fire department badge and holder and put it open on the dash whenever he was pulled over before the officer made it to the car. They never said anything about it, but he skated on a LOT of crap that he rightfully should have had to account for because of it. And of course, he never served the department or any one else for that matter, but himself.
Life ain't always fair, but it usually works out in the end.
