Most of the time cops are young football players that just graduated from high school. They have to be to serve warrants and arrest fighting drunken people. The police tailgated me with their bright lights on while crossing the mountain. It was freezing cold that night. I didn't know it was a cop so I speeded up and left him behind. When I got to the city limit I slowed down and he pulled up beside me and said over the speaker "slow it down a little". Most cops are not the best at judging situations. It is better to try to talk to the judge than to the police.
