He was paid for his service. It's a job like any other. Workers are injured on the job every day. Ticket the scofflaw.

Every body should be treated equal by the law, period!

How the fuck do you sleep at night? That poor son-of-a-bitch might have been drafted and had his whole fucking life screwed up by the military, but you're going to give him a ticket, huh? You were living the life of Riley while he was taking shrapnel on your behalf! Go fuck yourself!

Like I said to the other guy, go fuck yourself!

I'd also pass wind whilst ticketing him. Then, I'd search his vehicle and confiscate any money he had inside. And, when asked for my name, I'd say Officer Bob Evenson, of Cincinnati, and give your address.

Oh, oh! And plant drugs and bust him. Body cavity search can wait til later.

You're an utter asshole who has no respect for those who died or were wounded defending you and your godforsaken family. Go straight to hell, motherfucker!

Let me bust the scofflaw first.

So you support scofflaw ex - servicemen against men, presently in service, who are out to serve and protect you, and it's okay to kill them? You're a dangerous man, Bob.

Anyways, was it the body cavity search you object to, or just the ticket? You never actually specified.

There's good cops and bad cops. You're one of the bad cops.

So, a bad cop is one that does his duty, applying the law equally?

You're not going to talk me out of busting that scofflaw veteran, btw.

You still don't understand, do you? The reason Purple Heart license plates are issued to wounded veterans is so cops will go easy on them and give them special privileges not extended to others. So, the reason you're a bad cop is that you can't take the hint!

No one is above the law. Seriously, stop arguing against this basic principle, Bob.

Now, if the law is specifically, and foolishly, changed, that's another story. But if it is, expect constitutional challenges.
