Saw this on another forum. It's worth the watch for sure.

A couple of weeks ago, I was driving back from the Keys. Most people on the Fla. Turnpike go well above the limit, I usually will go 5-10 over, but not much more. I see a cop car merging onto the turnpike up ahead, so I set my cruise control for 65-66 mph and keep going my way. After a few miles, the cop starts to slow down. It's still a 65 zone, so I move on past him. I get about a 1/4 mile ahead of him, still never going above the limit, then he speeds up and pulls up beside me. Well, I know I'm not doing anything wrong, so I ignore him. He finally turns on his lights, but since I'm not speeding, I figure he must be getting ready to do a turn around in the median. Then he rolls down his window and starts waving at me, so I roll mine down. He yells "The speed limit is 65 here" I say "I've got my cruise control set at 65" he says "I had to go 80 to catch up to you" I say "What does that have to do with how fast I was going?" He had no answer for that and just told me to "Reset my cruise control" I didn't do a thing and kept on going the same speed as before. Not sure what this jerk was trying to prove, (he was local town cop and not even a Fla highway patrol) but I was pretty pissed off that he even initiated the encounter when I was minding my own business and obeying the limit.
