Saw my buddy get pulled over last night and it hit me different

I was riding shotgun with my friend Mark in Austin when a cop lit us up for going 5 over. He gave Mark a warning and let him go, but then I remembered when I got a $180 ticket for the exact same thing two months ago on the same street. Why does one driver get a pass while another gets the book thrown at them for the same minor speeding?

Getting let off feels totally random depending on the cop's mood that day.

You said 'totally random depending on the cop's mood that day'... man that hits. Last week I got pulled for rolling a stop sign and the cop just told me to slow down and let me go. Two days later my buddy got a ticket for the exact same thing, same intersection. It's like they flip a coin sometimes... makes you wonder what they're even looking for when they pull you over.
