We should never condone the police falsifying facts.

Ugh I swore myself I wouldn't dive into this thread again but here we are.
I give breaks/discretion for a multitude of reasons...the least of which is that people aren't going to fight it. I honestly could not care less what happens after the ticket is issued. There's no grand conspiracy to get people to pay the tickets instead of fighting them. Heaven forbid the police want you to receive less demerits and pay less money if you feel you're guilty. Furthermore, there's no falsifying facts. Everything is documented on the back of the ticket which is viewable through disclosure including reasons why discretions or breaks were given.
