Moral of the story is don't aggravate cops. Before, during, or after the traffic stop. You won't win.
Or if you are going to aggravate cops, make sure that you can get up to at least 120 before they pull out behind you, and that you can maintain that speed for at least 5 miles or to the next off-ramp, whichever's closest. And that the said policeman doesn't have a buddy up in front of you, because then you're really hammered.

If they are responding to a hot call. blip their lights, I will pull over.
Like I said in my other post, the county and state drive similarly colored cars. I have had cops from Arkansas cops follow me like this in Oklahoma. Aint no way they are responding to a hot call out of their city, county AND state.

What do you consider a "hot" call? Does a male beating a female call make it a "code 3" assignment? For us it is shootings, cuttings, assist officer, robbery in progress, person in immediate danger etc.
How do you know what they are doing? Could the officer behind you from Arkansas be going to cover an Oklahoma officer on something because he is the closest cover officer?
There are many things going on in the world of law enforcement that you may not have knowledge of at that time. Don't assume. My point is don't "annoy" that officer behind you (by slowing down) just for your own jollies when he can't pass you. Grow up.

It seems sometimes that everytime you are trying to get somewhere, the people in front of you drive under the speed limit.
Pulling off, though well intentioned, might not be the best thing. I think most police go "hmmm" when they see a car in front of them pull off, then pull out behind them. Not that it's illegal, but I think anytime someone seems to be avoiding police, it's bound to make the officer wonder why.
If we send someone out of town on business we try to use an unmarked car. Here, everyone drives 7 over on the freeway, and if you drive the speed of traffic in a marked unit someone will call and complain. If you drive at the speed limit, you will create a rolling traffic jam of cars stacked up behind you, afraid to pass...

That is called "police-itus".
