I spent 30 years as a cop and I will tell you that attitude is everything. A belligerent or hostile one will get you a ticket every time and you would be surprised how many people exhibit one when they are stopped. If you give him a reason to write you, he can find something to write you for. On the other side, if you are courteous and more or less honest with him he has more incentive to let you go. I personally pretty much did not write anyone for less than 15 over....Unless he was a smarta$$. I was also very willing to accept a really good excuse.
