that you know is outside of his jurisdiction do you slow down anyway, maintain speed or speed up?

ETA: By speed up, I'm not suggesting anything more than 5-10 mph beyond the posted limit.

Maintain speed...which is almost always 3-5 mph over the posted interstate speed limit.

i basically ignore them if out of their jurisdiction. i usually stay about 7-8 mph over the speed limit. i probably treat them with a little more caution than your average other driver though.

if I'm on the interstate, I generally have my cruise on 5-7 over the speed limit

I don't slow down when I see a normal cop, unless I know the place is a notorious speed trap

You hit the brakes like everyone else does. Even if you are already going under the limit.

Like a Jefferson Parish cop in BR, traveling and not on the shoulder?

I slow down to about 5 mph because above the speed limit until I see where they're from, I usually set the cruise on about 10-12 above.

I maintain my speed no matter what. You idiots/pussies that keep speeding up and slowing down need to just drive the speed limit in the right lane or get the frick off the road.

I think cops can still pull you over if they are close enough to their jurisdiction.

I never maintain more than about 7 mph over the speed limit on any interstate, if the speed limit is 80 mph I don't go more than 85. I would rather just cruise control than break and accelerate a ton every time I see a cop.

I usually just watch them blow right by me.

I don't speed so I'm not looking out for cops and I definitely wouldn't notice what jurisdiction they are from
