State Police
I had a little run-in with the MA State Police Saturday night. We were on I-190, not a heavily used highway, coming home from wine tasting and I got a little heavy footed. I went over a hill and there he was, sitting by the left hand side. I tried to brake but it was too late. I did not have my seatbelt on but the girl I was with snuck it in when I pulled over. The guy was cool and I played dumb and he got me at 80 and the limit is 65. When I pulled over I turned the car off and had my hands on top of the steering wheel. I think he thought that was cool and I was very polite and cooperative so he just told me to slow down and I got off with not even a warning. Got lucky, maybe I should get a radar detector.

That road is GREAT for speeding on...
I have yet to see a cop on it at night (knock on wood), and I have always had good luck during the day too. Whenever there is traffic, I see cops. When I can drive fast freely (read; no traffic), I have NEVER seen a cop there.
YOU LUCKED OUT!!! Tkae the hint and slow down a bit, or at least remember that "spot" where he sat. They like to use the same spots over and over.
P.S. I don't think he cared about your attitude, I think it was your TL!

Hands on the wheel, dome light on, tinted windows rolled down, tell him exactly what moves you are going to make when you reach for your license/reg./ins., leave your glove box closed/center console open if you have to reach in there to retrieve stuff, don't make excuses, be honest, hopefully you will get off with a warning.
