As for what transpired, we weren't there and don't know exactly what happened, so there's not much I can say about it. Plus, you don't know what the cop was thinking or what he knew. Just be happy you got out of a ticket and stop complaining aobut his actions. If it was that bad, call his superior and lodge a complaint.
And blah on you joebenz..
I found out today that when my speedometer says 41mph, I'm actually travelling 39mph....not 51.

I paid the fine went to traffic school this was my first ticker in 6 years, how many traffic laws I broke in that span, who knows. The officer was just doing his job
If he had pulled my over and just politely said "You were doing 40 in a 35, so I'm gonna have to write you a ticket" I wouldn't have argued with him one bit. Just as I admitted to him that I was speeding a little, but I definitely wasn't going 51mph. Plus, it was mostly his bad attitude that pissed me off, and pisses me off the more I think about it. This is just one more experience that I've had with a cop where the cop has been a complete asshole and thinks he can talk down to everybody just because he/she has a badge.
