Another line that is great for folks that blow stop signs goes like this. They will always say they slowed down. The line goes how about I pull out my baton and start hitting you, do you want me to slow down or stop.

OP played the game and got caught. His vile towards the cop is a bit telling, and just to be clear the cop forgot about him the minute he got back in his car and then had to decide what he was having for lunch. It's not personal, it's just the job.

Unless the OP isn't disclosing all the facts. If he got ticketed for just a little over the limit perhaps he'd done something to draw attention to himself or some other reason for an attitude adjustment.

My advice would be, roll down your window, turn off your music, put down your phone, and be polite. Admit to what you've done wrong because you probably know, say sorry and ask for a break. That usually goes a long way.
This.

I speed all the time. I get stopped at least 3-4 times per year. The last ticket I got was in 2014 in a dedicated speed trap.

Here's my philosophy:

I speed. I'm a fully formed adult and I accept the risks.
If I'm caught, I admit it, tell them the speed if they ask, and apologize.
As I speed almost everywhere I go, I'm caught and ticketed 0.000000000001% of the time I drive, I'll accept that because I'm a grown-up.
