I'm going to throw out a guess here -- I bet the cop either made it up or just plain guessed (and perhaps guessed wrong). Maybe he just felt like hassling someone who drives a nicer car than he does. I've read countless stories about small-town cops getting caught making stuff up, falsifying radar documents, etc. I had one officer telling me about how he pulls over nice cars because he likes to check them out -- and more often than not, they won't fight a ticket because they're rich as sin. Heck, in the speeding case I'm currently fighting, the radar unit hasn't been maintained in 8 years, and it was flooded (yes, with water) twice in the first several years of it's life. Tell me the officer honestly cited me in that one.

That said, I'm honestly surprised at Larry's response. Seems like pretty much all the cops on this forum are normal sane individuals, much like the rest of us. I kind of wish that he'd make another post, because I'm sure he'd come across a bit more reasonable on a second go.
