Pigs and Officers

I love how when people see a car pulled over with sirens on a cop car they slow down.  Its just funny because the police officer obviously has someone else pulled over so why do people slam on there breaks even though the cop will not pull you over.  Do you think the cop would want to get your attention if he was ready to write you a ticket?  I guess subconsciously people see sirens and people slow down because in the back of their mind they are getting pulled over.  I guess im guilty of the same things.  I also find it weird that when people are on the freeway and a police officer is in front of them, people refuse to pass the cop.  The officer could be going 10mph under the speed limit and most people wouldn't pass them.  I wonder if officers play game with civilians just to see how much power they have over us.  On the other hand, alot of cops break there own rules.  Some cops will be off the job on their way home and traveling 20 mph over the speed limit.  Another thing that bothers me is when police men abuse their right to enforce.  For example: My friend and I were traveling back from Utah and he was speeding, but not excessively.   So a cop flags us down even though he had someone else pulled over.  He gets to the window and tells my buddy that we were going 106 mph, which was ridiculous and inaccurate.   We drive the rest of the way home talking about how we never even went above 100 and he gets the ticket in the mail.  106 just happened to be 31 over the speed limit which was the highest price ticket (450).  If he would have been going 30 over it would have only been (150).  The cop obviously wrote us up for 106 because he knew that was the highest price.  Police officers do great things for our society, but it isnt right for them to abuse their power.
