In a rental car, in bumfuck middle of nowhere Illinois, on the right lane, cruising, with cars passing me on the left lane, officer picks me out and pulls me over.

He asks if I knew why he pulled me over; I responded I have no idea. He says I was speeding. I said bullshit, I wasn't speeding. He tells me to shut up, and goes back to his car with my documents. He comes back and writes me a ticket for 57 in a 55, and tells me to enjoy my day in bumfuckville, Illinois.

Wow.

*edit* My cruise control was on 60 BTW.

You were speeding, but the others were speeding more: you were easier to catch.

Yea, I should've just kept up with traffic and went 65-70. This ticket costs $140. Bleh.

I got pulled over by a cop in rural New Jersey once and he made me go to this weird courthouse full of traps that his grandpa ran.

TC police aren't your friends. In not verbally fellating him, you bruised his ego so he wrote you a ticket in turn
Oh yea, I got pulled over before going 15 or so over, and I was apologetic... Got off with just a verbal warning.

This time, though, I mouthed off, because I couldn't believe I got pulled over going 2 over.

He was speeding. It doesn't matter if it was just two over. Going to court wouldn't do anything. You can't contest breaking a law with the excuse "I only broke it a little" lol

Usually when you go to court to contest speeding, you can, or so I've been told, demand that they provide the serial number for the device they used to clock you and the last time that device was calibrated. Also, there's always the off-chance the cop won't show.

Also most cops won't even bother giving you a ticket for anything within 2-5 over because it ain't worth they time and some cars speedometers aren't calibrated correctly, so I can think I'm going 25 because that's what the needle says but the cops LIDAR is tracking me going 27 or so

I almost got pulled over in a similar fashion back in late '09 in rural Texas. They pulled over the guy driving behind me instead. Probable indicator of recession or poor economic conditions, whether local or impending nationally.

You can also argue it if they don't regularly pull people over for only going 2 miles over the speed limit, as most cops typically don't.

Interesting. More power to whoever can argue and win what you both said.

My Driver's Ed instructor told us something that applies well to this situation:

"You probably can't talk your way out of a ticket, but you can certainly talk yourself into one."

Mouthing off is a bad idea with the cops. You can hate them all you want here on CE, but in-person, if they come to you and need you (and by need I mean you're not going anywhere until they talk to you)...it's best to just yes sir/yes ma'am and just keep your hands on the steering wheel and just act as if you're wanting to make their life as easy as possible.
