No Win Situation

So I was driving back up to Reno for the second semester of school in my newly modified Jeep. I was almost there, driving the easy speed limit of 65 mph. A highway patrolman pulls into the other lane ahead of, and starts doing about 60 mph. Well, i figure I could either hold up traffic and just tail behind him suspicious-like, or I could just continue following the law. I decide on the second option, but slow down to about 63 just to be careful.

No soon has my front bumper passed his patrol vehicle when he taps his siren and makes exaggerated and dramatic slowing down motions, his face a combination of child-lecturing and "how dare you!" SO I back off and drive 58 mph, tailing along for about 30 minutes watching everyone else start to pile up.

Yay for cops on power trips.
