I saw the thread on who hasn't been pulled over, and I had to unleash this one...
I was driving my 95gt at the end of this june, to go camping in north-central minnesota. Going to a place that my family has camped at for 30+ years, I know the route pretty well, but this was the first time I drove this mustang up there. State highway 71 goes north from the interstate, most of the way there. It passes through several small towns on the way, which makes the speed limit go up and down all the time ... 30 ... 35 ... 45 ... 55 ... 40 ... etc...
I was most of the way there, and entered a small town where the speed limit dropped. So I slowed down, from 55 to ~ 40 or so. I didn't see the posted limit and was just coasting while waiting to finish through the town. Then a dodge intrepid with no markings or external cop lights pulled up behind me. Lights go on, he's pulling me over. I pull down the radar detector, turn off the stereo, and roll down the window while I wait for him.
He comes up and says I was doing 45 in a 35. I thought that might have been possible but then he asked me my record and I said it was clear (the truth). He goes back to his car with my license, runs tabs, does whatever cops do in their car, etc... then comes back to me.
Then he says I was doing 50 in a 30.
Interesting that both my speed and the limit changed, but I didn't say anything. I was too distracted by his mass of arm hair blowing in the wind (that my girlfriend could see from the passenger seat). For some reason he decided not to write me a ticket, maybe because of my profuse apologizing and my clean record but I guess more likely he just didn't have his radar on. He lets me go with a warning, and follows me north out of town.
After he had been following me for about a mile, his lights come on again. I pull over, and sure enough, the same cop is pulling me over again, on the same damn road. This time he comes up and tells me I was doing 48 in a 55. It was news to me that it is illegal to do less than the speed limit ( I didn't say that to him, as much as I wanted to ). I accidentally let him know my speedometer was off, which he told me I should fix. He eventually decided to let me off again.
So basically, in about 10 minutes, I was pulled over *twice* by the same cop, with no tickets. But he did a good job of annoying the crap out of me.
