But that is being petty when they pull you over for that...

Due to budget cuts, i guess the 5 mph over thing being OK is out the window now..
It's the same town that operate parking meters on public holidays, they are famous for giving chicken $hit tickets. We have a 5mph buffer built into our laws, so it's not that he could give me a ticket. He just gave me a tough time because he wanted to. He followed me for at least a mile and pulled me over when I was about to leave his jurisdiction. Here are the three things he said why he pulled me over.

#1 Speeding. He said he pulled me over for going 3mph because I shouldn't be going fast towing. Speed limit isn't good enough and he said I was 3mph over anyway.
#2 Squeeky brakes (I have race pads) and he believes my car is not safe.
#3 Mutilated license plate (I had to bend the corner of my plate on the trailer to get it into my garage)

It's bogus. He and I both know it, I was on my way 5 min later
