You don't know what was going on. But that speed over the limit was enough for him to stop you and further investigate whatever it was he was looking for. Chances are, there was more to the story than you know about. You can never assume you know the full reason why you are being stopped, because very often, there is more to it than you realize.
Then what was the point in him yelling and blatantly lying about my speed...and then accusing
me of lying? It would've been just as easy to say "Hey, you were going about 5 over" then check if I matched the description and then if not just tell me to slow down. The yelling and the accusations were completely unnecessary.
