“You don’t know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?”

I would just as soon that not be the goal of police I hire.

Maybe it's a question of 'point of view'.

Most cops are used to the FACT that 99.99999 percent of the people they pull over for something, WILL LIE TO THEM.

As a driver, it is your RESPONSIBILITY to know how fast you are driving at all times. That is why the car has a speedometer and why there are Speed Limit signs.

Personally, I have had more success by just TELLING THEM THE TRUTH. One of the most notorious 'hanging' judges in the county let me off with a $100 fine (I was doing 105 in a 55) because I told the truth. I had told the cops and the judge the same story. I also told them I had been going a lot faster than 105 before I crested the hill where they nailed me with radar.

Yes but the topic is not how to act when you interact with police. The topic is the hilarity that ensues when a cop decides to be a comedian with a citizen.

This is why when someone says that they are taking their bleeding or otherwise obviously suffering child/spouse/parent to the hospital, cops ALWAYS assume they are lying.

How did you establish as fact?

I have found that being well mannered works like nothing else. I haven’t been pulled over that often but ended up with warnings each time.
