oh yeah, been through the "good cop, bad cop" routine too...
years ago when i was travelling down south on holiday late at night about 12:30, no other traffic about at all... 110 on the A9 dual carriageway.... suddenly lights appeared way behind me right up on a hill... slowed down to 60, not braking, call it a hunch...
eventually the car came up behind me and overtook... nice stripey police car, yep... so nervous i forgot to dip my headlights (whoops), he slowed... 50....40...30.. whats this guys ****ing problem??!? next thing...police stop sign, blue lights...
pulled in behind, oh shoot, main beam still on <click> off
driver gets out.. just as spokey said, really aggressive "could do you for dangerous driving blah blah blah"
other young copper passenger was nice as ninepence, where you going, long journey ahead, nice part of the country yaddayaddayadaa
meanwhile the nasty one was giving it the full eyeball round the car, he took a particular interest in the numberplates, standard old font, 3d honeycomb with little ford logos in the background (when that stuff was legal), and i saw his face drop when he saw the bso kitemark (? - the sign that says theyre road legal)
you could tell he was fizzing... most likely because he didnt manage to get a fix on my speed before i slowed down
they both roared off, and reversed up into a side turning up ahead, waiting for their next "punter"
didnt have long to wait, there was a nissan 300zx giving it beans coming the other way about 5 minutes later, i hope he saw my headlight flashes
