Had a similar thing happen Friday before Memorial Day weekend. I was with my family driving back from Nashville at 9 a.m. on I-840 and the only car on the road. Tenn State Trooper pulls me over and says he clocked me at 85 mph. Only thing was, I had been driving with the cruise on dead set on 70 mph cause it was holiday weekend. Cop also never used his radar as I have an Escort 8500 which never even chirped.

I told the trooper that it was impossible that I was going 85 as I had the cruise on for 20 miles set at 70 mph. He goes back to his car with my license and registration then comes back and repeats that he clocked me at 85. I then reiterate that that is impossible. He starts getting indignant and saying he doesn't care what I have to say because he's not giving me a citation.
Didn't even give me a warning. Obviously he was fishing, for what I don't know, but I was livid for days and wanted to pursue this as it can't possibly be legal but my wife told me to drop it.

I could maybe expect this from some little podunk town cop but a State Trooper? This is the kind of shyt that makes people, that otherwise would respect law enforcement, question if they should be trusted.
