More than a few times I have been stopped for a violation and the officer let me off with a warning. It's called discretion.
...
You are right the officer did his job. That doesn't make it right.
Hikers and climbers have benefited from discretion all winter.
The only thing that isn't right here might be that the beneficiaries of the winter's discretion feel so entitled as to suggest that they shouldn't be restricted by anything less than someone who would have to be additionally stationed on site during road opening maintenance.
