A cop lets you off the hook for the 4 traffic violations, do you do it again?

Before I go to a stop sign, I look left and right, then in the rear view mirror. If there no one coming either direction, I would slow down a little bit, but not enough to hit the first gear. But I observe every **** thing around me when I drive. Has saved me from many accidents and many tickets. Just watch out for the **** cops, they may be sneaky, but you just got to be smarter than them thats all.

Imagine yourself driving home from school/work at 10PM. On the way home, you get pulled over for running two stop signs and not signaling three times on your turns.
You found out that the cop followed you for a good 5-6 blocks before he pulled you over.

The cop decides to let you off the hook and not fining you for the traffic violations you've broken.

Would you commit these same traffic violations again because you got lucky the first time? Or would you think back to how generous the cop was for letting you off the hook and continue to obey these laws through out your years of driving?

Would you continue to break these laws if the COP had been a bully and fined you a $500+ fine or whatever? Or would you be scared shitlist the next time you see a stop sign and remind yourself to make a complete stop?

The main thing I would like to know is if one is more willing to obey the law if they were let off easy, or when they get fined a shitload of $$$.

You'd have to be a completely stupid mother ****ing idiot to run stop signs in the first place.

Signaling? who the **** cares.. I signal when I need other people to kno what i'm doing..

But if I was just let go for not signaling i'd definately be a little more caucious about it for the next little bit but i'd prolly end up going back to my bad habit..

Either way I would try and do what is legal..

I'm not some immature *** that is going to run stop signs because I got charged $500 for doing it.. and i'm not some *** that is going to break the law because a cop let me off for it earlier..
