"Sir, you're breaking the law and posing a danger to everyone around you. I'm afraid this behavior has consequences".
"But I have a bunch of money. See?".
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry; be on your way then".

I would have expected the cop to say "well ok, then I guess you can afford this then" (hands expensive ticket to lucky driver)

You should have seen him driving home after he found out the tax hit on that 50k.

Verbal warning, written warning or civil fine are all left to the officer's discretion in traffic cases. Somehow, it's usually the loudmouths who earn the civil fine.
