It should be based on the merits of the individual and the situation. Your comment seemed to indicate a quid pro quo motivation. You may not have intended that. It's just the way it came across to me.
I've unfortunately had to issue both LEO and FD tickets before, but then I've never issued a CHL holder a citation before as I give them a break. I may have to rethink that
I even had a FD in the back seat in handcuffs 
however he was driving in his truck, off duty, with bogus license plates and when stopped for auto theft investigation badged me out the window asking why the beep was I stopping him. He then resisted. 
Or the Fed who ran red lights because I made him late for work because I was doing the speed limit in my unit and he got irritated so blew by me speeding through 2 red lights, then had the badge waiving out his window before I even got out of my car with witnesses watching. How could I not write him or call his supervisor as well?
