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.

And he didn't "let me off", I don't think he intended to write me a ticket to begin with, plus, sure I was going 40 in a 35, but I've talked to CPD officers, and they've all said that they give 7mph leeway...so yeah, he was just being a dick. But of course another cop is gonna take the cops side.
And blah on you joebenz..

In order to be certified at radar, you have to be able to estimate vehicle speeds with your eyes within 0-5 mph consistantly. Once you have that certification, you don't even need radar to write the ticket. You admitted that you were going over the speed limit, and you got off.....be happy about it and go on your way. The Cop let you off, yet he was still a dick??? You seem pretty ungrateful.

Yeah, some are....but here's another news flash. A good number of people out there (and one this board too) are dicks....and so they deserve the "harassment" that they get.

Yeah I also got pulled over on a bs "speeding" story. Only I denied speeding, or at least to the extent the officer was describing. She was a real bizatch, and ended up giving me a warning. It was late and I figure she wanted to see if I was drunk driving.

What suprises me is no one really wants to take ownership of anything, I got pulled over by the CHP last month for going 90mph in a 55 mph zone, on a state hwy. I did not even argue with the officer. Whats the point he caught me. He wrote me for 70 in a 55mph instead which I can only think was based on my attitude. 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
