And that's how most of my encounters with cops go.
Don't start none, won't BE none.

My experience last week: Blasting up the 5 my radar detector went off. I backed off and started looking for the cop. Did not take long as he was hiding behind an overpass embankment. His lights were on by the time I rolled past him.
I immediately pulled over and put the passenger side window down.
He asked for the usual documentation which I gave him. He asked where I lived and where I was going. Told him LA - SF.
Then we had the following conversation:
Him: You know, you are the slowest person I have pulled over today. I got you at 90.
Me: I am sorry.
Him: That's okay (as he handed my papers back), just slow it down.
Me. Okay.
Him: What does your license plate mean anyway?
I told him and we parted ways. No muss, no fuss, no ticket.
