This kind of exposure is what erodes the publics trust and respect for LEO's and "the system".

Exactly, when I was in college and just out of college, I was subject to this kind of thing all the time. I didn't drive a ricer, just a new Grand Am GT. Now that I drive the F150, I don't get a second look going 15 over. I got pulled over once in the GA for having an "improper license plate cover" after being tailed in my blind spot for over 15 miles on the interstate.
