But the friends -- two women and a man -- told the elder Pourfarhadi that Boback had bent over to tie his shoelace and that they were waving at the officer to slow down because they thought he was speeding, he said.

Okay, I call bullsh** on in this statement by the friends. Why would you 'wave' at an oncoming car at 3am? If you're stranded at the roadside, perhaps, sure, but if your buddy is simply hunched over tying his shoe? And waving at a car at 3am to slow down? And that car is a police car? I can tell you this, when you stand on a painted line of the shoulder, just about any car approaching would appear to be speeding.

I am familiar with this stretch of road and I think it's either a 45mph or 50mph zone. It's certainly not a 25mph zone.
