How compassionate of them to dismiss two tickets and downgrade one. At least the one cop gave him CPR -- I've seen most cops in various forums say they would flat out refuse to give any sort of medical assistance to non-cops ...

Though Dan Langley had a heart attack while driving here, that did not stop a police officer from giving him three traffic tickets.

"Please forgive Mr. Langley's tickets due to his unfortunate experience of having a heart attack seconds prior to his car accident," stated the note from Wall physician Harold Cotler.

The result? Two tickets were dismissed, but a third was only downgraded — to a $133 fine.

"What's the charge? Criminal cardiac arrest?" his father, Chris Langley said in a later interview.

Chris Langley said he and his wife, Noreen, believe the accident — and a fast-acting police sergeant — helped save their son's life.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene. Sgt. Andrew O'Neill began CPR and rode to the hospital in the ambulance with Dan Langley.

O'Neill did not write the tickets. They were issued later by another officer, Raymond Kwiatkowski, the family said.

But authorities would only agree to downgrade the third — from reckless driving to obstructing the passage of other vehicles, according to Langley and his parents.

Compliance was achieved.
