A cop that tickets everyone at 65.1 is not being consistent. S/he’s showing inexperience. [/quote]

I think cops ticketing everyone at 65.1 is the very definition of consistent.  Perhaps English is not your first language?[/quote]

No cop ever gives out tickets to EVERYONE who sports over 65 mph.  Maybe you are not an American to know this. That’s a rookie mistake trying to ticket EVERYONE who goes over 65. [/quote]

To go back to the example earlier in the thread, the problem with "discretion" is that it can be abused. I don't think everyone who goes 65.1 should be ticketed, but we know from data around traffic stops that Black and brown Americans are exponentially more likely to be pulled over for going 67 in a 65, or for having a tail-light out. These are pretext stops. Then, Black and brown Americans are more likely to have their cars searched after one of those pretext stops, even though whites are more likely to have contraband.

I actually prefer the professor's system with no discretion, since discretion can be and is abused. [/quote]

Yes - except profs are always making exception. You just don’t see that cuz they are not gonna tell you. [/quote]
