What's the skinny on being given a 'warning'?

Can a LEO comment on the second paragraph? Are 'warnings' logged or annotated somewhere for other LEO's to see?

Got a performance award last fall. I deserved it. Tooling along Hwy 12 between Cordelia and Napa. It's near impossible not to push the limits on this section. Came up over a small rise and there was Mr. Motocop aiming his laser thing at me. I immediately pulled over, shut down and kept my hands in view. He asked for my license, reggy and insurance. I had all readily available. I asked him for a veteran's discount and he asked me what I wanted. I asked for a 10% discount and he chuckled and said sure. Wrote me up for 74 in a 65. He clocked me at 80 in a 50 (speed limit on that road). I figured good enough. We chatted about motorcycles for a few minutes and it turned out that we both knew another CHP motocop. Told me to say hello.

Apparently, there is some code that they annotate on your record that the violation is altered. A few months later, I got pulled over on 101 for lane sharing a little too aggressively. It was a local motocop this time who was following me and decided he had seen enough. He mentioned that I was given a break last time. He gave me a warning and told me to take it easy.

I deserved both and take my licks when deserved.
 
Same agency it would be rather easy, but I don't know if its common- an other agency seeing a warning would be surprising. Following.
 
On the ticket under description, it's close to unreadable but I can see @80. Thinking back on the encounter, I remember in the conversation that he asked me about the ticket and I might have gotten diarrhea mouth and mentioned the break I was given.
