But actually, one of the al.com commenters had a good point..this is probably a violation of state ethics law.
Ethics?! That's rich.
I'm not sure if you're from Alabama, I wasn't trying to make a joke. Two or three years ago when the Republicans took over Alabama government they passed a law making it illegal for any public employee in the state to take any gift of any value at all. They later changed it so that you could get little gifts, such as a student might give a teacher (that was the specific scenario they were trying to legalize) but I'm pretty sure these tickets are way above the exemption value.
Wouldn't these tickets simply be a gift from a doctor to a patient? Don't see how ethics law would even apply.

Police officers are public employees.
I'm not even saying that it should be pursued, just pointing out the absurdity in current law.
