Police chief Richard Knoebel of Kewaskum, Wisconsin, accidentally drove past a stopped school bus with its emergency lights flashing. So Knoebel wrote himself a $235 ticket, docked himself four points on his driving record, and paid the fine.<\/p>\n
Most people wouldn\u2019t have known about the officer\u2019s deed, but months after the ticket, a newspaper reporter discovered the record of Knoebel\u2019s ticket and fine.<\/p>\n
While on patrol, Knoebel said he had become distracted by a stopped dump truck. Worried that a car quickly approaching the truck might collide with it, he moved to the next lane to pass the truck and give the oncoming car more room to stop. That\u2019s when he realized he was passing a stopped school bus in the far lane.<\/p>\n
That didn\u2019t excuse breaking the law, however. The honest officer held himself accountable, even when most people weren\u2019t looking.<\/p>\n
