My first reaction to reading this was 'well, you DID speed. So why is the cop the jerk?'. I see that some others feel the same. But after thinking about it, I feel a little differently.

I'm sure someone else has pointed this out 100+ posts into the thread, but I think the fact that he stayed back to ensure that he didn't speed again was a little jerkish... jerkly... of, or pertaining to, the qualities that a jerk may posses... Anyways, I don't think a cop would necessarily have done that to anyone else in a car. There's always the outside chance that the cop maintained the speedlimit to set a good example. It's possible, but highly unlikely, in my experience.
