I've also been running 80 or so at night through AZ and was stopped by a trooper. I think he was bored - he asked me if I was interested in a cup of coffee. We went back to the squad car and had a couple of cups and then he sent me on my way. This was back in the days of 55.

Your experineces may vary.
