Red Light Cameras Catch All Light Jumpers Except Police Officers

Jonathan Turley who runs the res ipsa loquitor blog, discusses the red light cameras of Austin, Texas that caught 36-off duty police officers running red lights. None of these officers were ticketed because, as the Chief of Police sees it,
[W]e use progressive discipline to correct the behavior in either training or correct the behavior and so far, we haven’t had anybody do it twice.

So, you are allowed to run a red light once - just don't let it happen again?
