When traveling on interstate & you come across police...

I don't speed.

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

I get in the left lane and slow down to the speed limit

I tag 'em on my Waze app.

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.

You know what drives the hell out of me....People that do 71 in a 70, but 71 in a 55 mph construction zone.

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.

Got an answer for that. On I10 east of Lafayette, there is a city of Henderson cop (speed trap) who sometimes parks on top of the basin bridge, about 250 yards east of where the bridge actually begins. This area is not in the city limits of Henderson and the cop has zero jurisdiction to write tickets there, but does anyway.

Here's why: The city of Henderson gets to keep revenue from all tickets 10mph or higher. Anything less than 10mph goes to the state. Were he is parked, the speed limit is reduced from 70 to 60 (10mph). Now you know the rest of the story.
