I got nailed in the M3 about a month ago, bad. It was early morning, route 80 was empty and I nailed it when I had an opening. I knew I was cooked, he probably say me mouthing the F word when he was pulling me over. Younger state trooper flew up behind me, came to the passenger side. Asked what was going on, the flow of traffic was 75 and then he watched me take off going way faster than that. I was honest, "Its a nice day, the car feels good, no one was around so I ran it out a little. No excuses, you caught me at a bad time" I told him I couldnt remember the last time I was pulled over, last ticket I think was 2003. He ran my papers and came back saying that he wasnt looking to ruin anyones day, just try to stay under control and be more observant to the cars around me. I was elated, shook his hand, and gave him a card to my shop, said he was a BMW owner also, maybe that helped a little.
We all read about the bad things in the news from them all the time, they get a bad rap, but theres thousands of decent cops out there, that respect that they are a human before an officer, and are not above the law.
