	This whole discussion is fairly amusing.

	There's a law. The law did not make exceptions for the police. If 
people think exceptions should be made, let them try to have it 
codified. The police officer can't be let off the hook because _some_ 
people think they should.

	In the US, one can challenge such tickets. So to me it just makes the 
most sense that the officers get ticketed without exception, and they 
can then go in front of a judge and try to explain the rigors of their 
work and the justification for an exemption. It's the judge's job to 
interpret the law, not that of the police officer who does the ticketing.
