Just remember, cops deal with society's shit all day long. They aren't supposed to take it out on others, or talk smack when they themselves don't know the rules...but hey, I think we've all had a bad day and taken it out on others when we haven't meant to.
Just make sure your polite, and if the officer is wrong, challenge the ticket if you get one. I have actually gotten written apologies from officers for the exact same scenarios. It's happened to me more than I can count. But as long as you remain polite, it all balances out.
I got nailed doing 50 over the limit a few weeks back, the officer had the right to impound my vehicle on the spot, but I was extremely polite, plead my case, and he knocked it down to 20 over, no points on my license.
It's called karma.
