New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and sometimes Maryland drivers....
That's because drivers in those states are morons. We're talking about Texas here.

All your points are perfectly legit. I just wasn't paying as much attention as usual after a 16-hour day at the office. The exempt tag really should have been obvious.

Are you trying to say that drivers in NY and NJ do the speed limit????

I have seen (well - rather heard it [nature of the job]) more times than I have heard of citations being issued.

Would I have done it if he wasn't there... Yeah, I would.
But my point is that he shouldn't have been there. There are signs every mile along 35W that "Left Lane is for Passing Only". This cop was in the left pacing a semi in the right with no intention of moving over, meaning if you wanted to pass you had to go around him. If he had been in the right lane where he should have been since he was not passing I, and the rest of the cars behind me, would have kept cruising along at 73-75mph like always.
And you could have been ticketed just as easily as you were for 78. Point is, there was no entrapment. If the officer was doing the speed limit, why were you passing at all? Because you were speeding.

There are no stupid questions.
There are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

They do when they're in VA, probably because they're really afraid of some big ole' redneck cop pulling them over and smashing out their taillights and making 'em spend a night in jail.
You know how the South is...
