I'm usually cooperative, but this seems like a bit much.
I was thinking the same. I pulled out of my driveway a few mos ago, I see a car coming way down the street, next thing I know the car is on my arse, sure enough it's a cop and he pulls me over. Asks if I know why I was pulled over and I say Well I guess either I pulled out in front of you or you were going too fast. He ask me if I had been drinking, I hadn't. He gives me back my license and says have a good night.
He was speeding and he knew it and I called it out on it.

Is there some kind of prevailing belief that these things happen with regularity? They do not.
They don't have to happen with regularity. If they have happened even ONCE over the course of that officer's career, it's going to be in the back of his mind every stop he makes.

For some reason I would be worried that he/she would come at me thinking I was going for a weapon or something.
Exactly. In high school one of my friends got pulled over for speeding. He pulled over, and reached in the glove box to get his registration. When he turned around to hand it out the window he was facing the business end of a Glock.

did the officer sprint to the window immediately after the pull over? Like I said, in my situation today I had already done everything before he even opened his car door.

You don't get it do you? That's the most passive aggressive form of power. He basically HAD the power to give you a ticket but because you lay at his feet he let you off.

My whole point was to illustrate that simply by not being a total douche, you can get off with a warning.
You're not doing OT correctly, but
I agree with you. I've only been pulled over a handful of times in my life, but I always try to be cooperative. I've only been ticketed once.

It worked did it not?
Meh. It may have worked without doing all that. The cop sounds pretty reasonable.
Look, I'm not saying you have to be a raging douche to every cop, but if I end up on the wrong end of a body cavity search I'm not going to bend over, hold my cheeks spread, and lube my own a-hole voluntarily before they even ask.

Whose alter are you. It is amazing that being polite is now considered some sort of submission. I am polite to everyone i come in contact with. Does that mean I "lay at his feet"

Of course, it very well could have. But it took literally no extra time or effort out of my day to do what I did and that could have been the difference between a ticket and a warning.

Just a nice interaction and a few minute delay of my day.
Cool, so what the hell is your point?
You got lucky and the police officer let you off with a warning.
People also are kind and non confrontational and have different experiences. I go hard beta anytime I've had interactions and have had different experiences

If you'd been here more than a month you'd know what the point was. Or, you could just read the OP.
Probably because you act like a tool, if how you post is any indication.

He's a police officer and I'm a tax paying citizen. I'm not his friend. If I was OP and on my way back to work I'd be super pissed that this GED graduate traffic cop pulled me over to write me a $50 ticket. That stretch of highway is his fiefdom and he patrols it with vigor.

I'm always cooperative and polite, but the few times in my life I've gotten pulled over it was always in a speed trap. Auto-ticket.

Well I didn't get a ticket, so I'm not pissed. Also tickets are a good bit more than $50 if I recall.
Seems like your real issue is with running radar period.

Works for me 90% of the time, of course the day I was doing 122 in a 70 on my BMW K1200RS, not even my military I.D. got me out of that one in West Texas.

It depends a great deal on the arresting officer. I've noticed that here in Virginia you hardly ever get a warning no matter what your behavior.
