I think it all depends on who's wearing the badge. I was busted big-time for an energetic burst entering the freeway. Real young Highway Patrolman aks me if I knew why he pulled me over. I replied, "To get a closer look?"
Thank goodness he had a sense of humor, smiled and said, "Well - that too." He was very lenient on the ticket, and when a backup patrol car pulled up behind us, he said, "Now THAT guy is just getting a closer look."
A few months earlier, a group of us were pulled over by Barney Fife who did the whole litany of illegalities & gave us an extremely uncomfortable time - threatening to have us all towed and impounded, etc.
We were relieved he limited the tickets to speeding - (which I contested and won.)
Luck of the draw.
