No one is supposed to be above the law. It doesn’t matter if you’re a police officer, a politician, or a billionaire—on paper, everyone is supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law.
Naturally, that doesn’t always happen in the real world. Instead, the law—especially around traffic issues—can be confusing, seemingly favoring some over others. For example, one woman recently sparked discussion online after claiming that her innocent attempt to record a traffic issue led to her spending a day in court and being threatened with a $500 fine.
