Iowa State Police launched an investigation into one of their own when an off-duty cop wasn't ticketed for going 92 mph in a 70 mph zone.

The incident occurred some time last Monday but was never public information since there was no written report.

Capt. Ken Clary was pulled over by another police officer for speeding. The off-duty cop was driving a van owned by the Special Olympics Iowa, a group he volunteers for.

After he's pulled over, Clary immediately gets out the car and shakes Trooper Bryan Guill's hand. Clary then apologizes for speeding, the two shake hands and the officer is left going about his day.

Inquires led the police department to investigate the incident since he was not ticketed. Clark also violated a uniform policy.

Clark was seen wearing his uniform while he was off-duty, a strict rule the force places on their officers. Clark was ticketed $110. Guill was not disciplined for his actions.

I thought this was standard procedure among police officers and always wondered if it was legal or not. Apparently not? Can someone clarify?

I don't know about the US, but in the UK Officers use discretion during any case, Police officer or not. Factors such as how bad the infringement is, how busy the road is, previous ad driving history, criminal history and attitude all get taken into account. I don't know many officers that would let anybody off for that kind of speed, Police or not. He should have known better.

As above mate.

My brother used to be a New York State Prison Guard and had a badge in his wallet. When he would get pulled over he would open his wallet in front of the cop to get his license and inevitably the cop would see his badge and let him go.

is it legal? fuck no. is it standard procedure? hell yes.
if the guy isn't responding to a police call, and speeding(grossly) in a vehicle without safety strobes flashing, then you're damn right it is illegal.
