Answering this question makes it easy for the cop to write it in his report that you admitted guilt.

I know someone who said he has no idea what his speed was. When the cop was pressing harder and harder to get him to accept he asked "do you have a calibrated speed gun in your car". The cop admitted he didn't and the guy said "this conversation is over then", and the cop let him drive off.

I felt like I was being a giant asshole but I got off the same way. Cop was trying to make me admit to driving fast. I said I wasn’t and asked what they clocked me at. They said they didn’t get me with the radar gun. I said “ok,” and just stared at her.

One time a cop lied that he caught be going 94 in a 65. I said “I was not going 94. I’ve never gone 94 in my life.” And he said “Are you saying that wasn’t you?” “I don’t know what you recorded but I wasn’t going 94.” So he goes and sits in his car for a while pretending to check his tapes, then comes back and says “You are definitely the one I recorded.” Conveniently ignoring what I actually said.

Eventually he dropped the speed he was claiming down to like 70 and my dumbass then-21 year old self was like “Oh OK, yeah I was totally going 70, just not 94.” and he handed me a ticket.

I’m still mad about it.

"Obviously not fast enough since you caught up with me"

I used to watch this British show called Police Interceptors. The narrator loved talking about how the officers drive Subaru Imprezas and Mitsubishi Evo 9s/10s, and that their top speed is 155mph. My thought was always "So get a car that goes faster than 155, got it"

I dont even need a damned car lol

The UK did have an issue with a lotus Carlton that did a bit more than that. I think the cop cars were slower at the time as well.
