I came up behind a cop doing 45 MPH on a 55 MPH road. As I was passing him he sped up. After I completed the pass he pulled me over and gave me a 20 minute lecture for doing 57 in a 55.
About a week later the mayor from that town called me and asked about the incident. A lot of people complained about recent traffic stops so the mayor was looking in to it. Turns out that this cop was new to their town and this was a technique he had learned where he previously worked.

In most states, including my Georgia, Deputy Sheriff's have arrest powers in the entire state. So don't act TOO stupid around that out of county car or he just may put you on the curb!
