Look at it from the positive. He just wanted a look at the Z!

Or another positive spin on things....you may have just had a real a-hole cop pull you over but you caught him on one of his good days.....I mean he did just let you off with a warning....but 1 mile over? Yeah, that's a little crazy.

Even if he wrote the ticket, a 1MPH over will be thrown out if you protest it in a court.

Yep, true. I've been in court when judges call up over 15 people at once all for the same or similar offense and just talk to them about what they did and ask if they understood why they were stopped. Of course they all said "Yes" and the ticket was wiped off the record.

Seen a judge do that before with a handful of people who got speeding tickets under 10 miles over the limit. Call 'em up....talk....then tossed 'em all out. (I mean the tickets...not the drivers)

which is why he didn't write the ticket, however it was enough probable cause to pull you over to see if he might be able to bust you for something else.

beat me to it. You'd be surprised how many wanted criminals get caught on stupid routine traffic stops. Cops know this, so they'll use any excuse to check you out on a whim. As someone else said, it's their job. Yes, I agree it can be annoying as hell

And yes, while they can run plates as they follow you that's not the same as running your license, since they can't assume the owner of the car is the person actually driving it.

Holy god you have NO idea how many felony stops turn out to be a simple pull over from the start.
