According to the KBOI staff, a grandmother who was visiting Idaho thanked an ISP trooper re: the way he handled himself while giving her a speeding ticket. You can see her letter above, which reads in full: "Dear Idaho State Police, Recently I was on vacation with my grandchildren and was pulled over for speeding. Officer Mike Nielson made it a good experience for my grandchildren by talking with them calmly and giving them stickers. He didn't leave me out and I got my very own STICKER SHOCK :) Thanks for a great attitude." Full KBOI story here.

Question: Would you have done this?
