How do you feel about the proposal to assign spouses rank?

I will tell from an experienced MP, I have too many situations over the years of "Do you know who my husband is or my husband is MAJ/LTC/COL/GEN so and so, I shouldn't be bothered or harassed in this manner". And I could never count up how many times I have received the call at the station from either the spouse who just got the ticket begging me to do something with it so her husband doesn't have to hear about it, or the reverse of the military member calling wanting to know why their spouse received a ticket and what can be done to fix the issue, and my response was always, "well Sir/Ma'am there are two ways to handle this they can either mail the fine in or come to court to handle it," you laugh at how many times the other of the phone just went dead. And I had the many times where they would call my station commander and tell them they needed to fix it if they ever wanted to make LTC or above, the politics didn't do it for me, and whenever I was asked by the CO I always said respectfully no, if it had been handled differently from the beginning by the offending spouse, the possibility of just a warning could have occurred, but not after all the headaches that they have all put or tried to put everyone through, it goes through as required.

I was taught by my grandfather, being that I am 4th generation LEO and 5th generation Army that as a police officer you have to have your mind made up before you leave the patrol car if you are going to write the ticket or not, and then you can determine if things will change on that decision based on the demeanor and attitude of the offender. Like I used to always tell people, the way you act when I come up to your window will determine if I give you the benefit of the doubt and just a warning or follow through with my original thought of writing a ticket for the offense at hand plain and simple, if you are respectful and honest with me, many times that will get you just a small lecture and the warning to pay attention, be more careful or slow it down instead of the ticket that could cost you more in time, money and insurance premiums for the offense you knew you were wrong with when you committed it before hand.
