A guy I painted some Z06 parts for in Florida got pulled over really late at night driving down alligator alley doing 170. The only thing the cop said was "you're a f'n idiot and if there had been anyone else on the road then you'de be going to jail"... and that was it....no ticket.
CHP cut me off in a CHP van so I blew past him at 80 to get away from him.
Chases me with siren off the freeway. He is very mad. Huge argument with him with wife siting shotgun and him on her side of car. Runs a make on me and comes back cooled down and says no ticket slow down.

I got a ticket two days before Thanksgiving for going 62 in a 55. C'mon! What a jerk. (Sorry, no funny story here. Just a cop that must have been trying to meet a quota.)

For going 10% plus over in a sports car? I would expect to get pulled over then.
I'm a retired PO about 15 yrs ago I was on patrol (midnight shift) I was driving the patrol car down a One Way Street when a car coming down a cross street makes a RIGHT TURN Almost Hitting me HEAD-ON
We both (me & other driver) slammed on the breaks without hitting each other, but it scared the SH** out of me!!!
I got out of the patrol car, and went over to his window, (half scared from the almost head on, & half MAD, I yelled at him
Didn't you see the DAMN ARROW".. he looked sorta dumbfounded and stammered..."Hell I never saw the Indian"

Many jurisdictions have "No Tolerance" policies in force during holidays.
Many do here in AZ. Supposed to cut down on traffic deaths and DUI's.
When I was 16 I got caught by a FHP airplane doing 74 in a 55 (55 back then ugh)
Cruiser up ahead pulls me over...
I was on E (typical kid) and trying to make it to the next exit.
Cop asked why I was going so fast... I told him I wanted to be going fast when I ran out of gas so i could coast to the next exit!
He pointed to my right and there was a huge billboard that said how 55mph saves gas.
He wrote me a ticket! Doh!
Which reminds me and this is not a joke but a true story.............so excited to get my very first radar detector and it was the valentine....hadn't read any instructions and decided to go on 75 from Marco island exit to Ft. Lauderdale for a drive and test it out as I knew LEO make mega money along that strip at certain areas and pull cars over in bulk................anyway, got my first few warning beeps and then a continuous stream of them and sure enough, there they are. 10 miles down the road, it happened again and a cop car coming behind me.....thought this is fantastic the arrows really do work..I love this machine
20 minutes later, out of knowhere I hear sirens(I can't remember if my detector notified me, I don't think so as it occurred so fast) and a cop car pulls me over.............................and informs me that a plane recorded my speed....85mph..............I friggin couldn't believe it. My very first detector with arrows and I am supposed to look up in the air at the same time doing 85 Now I know better..........
Well this happened when I was young and dumb( but a good sense of humor ) got puleed over doing 106 in a 55, State Tropper not happy, I asked him if I gave him excuse he never heard before would he let me go? He said give it a shot kid, I replied "Officer have you ever heard of the expression of goin with the flow" he replied yes, I replied "I'm setting the pace", no ticket let me go, truth, or as I say $h!t lucky

I once got a ticket for 80 in a 25. Thank God I live in Montana! $85.
Got one in MT for 95 in 55, a warning and that was after the new law was passed eliminating the basic rule/failure to conserve energy mentality that disappeared with the help of the national media painting Montanans as morons without speed limits. Also had one FL recently for 78 in a 55 at night another warning. In both cases the officers were coming from the opposite direction. I pulled over as soon as the LEOs turned on the lights and both had to drive past me already parked on the side of the road to turn around to come up behind. It doesn't pay to smart *** these guys especially since they've just nailed you. They're already convinced you're not that smart anyhow.
A driver pulled over while cruising through NASCAR country in North Carolina. Officer ask driver why he was speeding. Driver replies "Officer, I wasn't speeding, I was qualifying...."

My brother told me that same joke over 30 yrs ago, only happened to him in NYC.
Or the one about the guy being chased by the trooper that kept speeding faster as the trooper got closer. Once stopped the Cop asked the old fellow why he kept going faster. He replied that many years ago his wife ran off with a trooper. I kept trying to get away cause I thought you were now trying to return her to me.
