State cops are a bit less predictable, and have a lot more integrity, than many of the city cops do. I hang out with, and ride motorcycle with a lot of NewHaven's, Hamden's, and North Haven's forces.
It doesn't mean that it is a guarantee that I'd be off the hook if I got caught though. I just got a ticket for "Right on red" a few weeks ago, in Hamden, at 03:00am. I even stopped at the thing as if it were a stop sign, and saw nobody coming, so I pulled out. He gave me a ticket. Just got the wrong cop, on the wrong night. If it had been one of my buddies though, I guarantee they wouldn't even have bothered to stop me to begin with. Can't win them all, but knowing more, increases your odds of course. I never said I was impervious to penalty, just got the majority on my side, so I worry a whole lot less.
