Looks like he tagged you before the van ever passed you. Liedar guns have range. What's with the front license plate check? The last cop that pulled me over did that also

I know you're opinionated, but please, when I drive home on the 680 I see 50 cars pass me going on the straightaway in Pleasanton. This "don't break a nail" break the law kinda thing isn't the same as Eric Garner resisting arrest or Michael Brown assaulting an officer. Speed to just pass and then slow back down, busted for what? 2 seconds of speeding? Endangered lives there for sure... As a matter of fact, if you own a WRX, don't go over 65mph or follow the 25mph/35mph/5mph in the correct zones.
One word: Douche.

OH, I am no saint, I speed too, we all do once in a while. The thing is, if you get pulled over, it is the price you pay for doing it. Now that said, I do think "speeding" is a BS thing in the first place, 65 is not nearly fast enough for standard travel in the modern world and I do think the highways in the US should be marked "95" in the left lane, "85" in the middle lane and "75" in the lane next to it, and so on into the inner lane, where big rigs MUST stay, 55. however yea, that is a pipe dream that will never come true

It's a common speed trap scenario of which I too have unfortunately been caught on. In my case I too was talking to my kids and wasn't paying attention to possible speed trap areas (over passes, crests/downhill). Maybe time for a V1 to go along with the cool HUD?

I know they should change the speed limit to 70mph...everybody in the freeway is at least driving 75 and above and you get a couple of the "UHH I SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY" doing 55 in the fast lane or the middle lane.

He had to have gotten that van like you said. When you were starting to slow down, right as you hit 81, you can't even see the cop in the distance because the cars in front of you were between you and the officer. When that van passed you, it looks like you could barely see him in the video and that van clearly sped past you then slowed down after he was a couple cars in front of you (and more than likely saw the officer). By the time you can see the cop in the video from a long distance, you were pretty close to the speed limit (not 81 like he claims he got you). Also, why did he pull you over so late? Seems like you drove half a mile (maybe more?) before he lit you up. And ya random plate check?

The tractor (big rig alone without trailer weighs) 18k-20k itself. Imagine a car averaging at 4k let's say for a fully filled 4 door sedan hits another car at 75mph and a tractor hits another car at 55mph. Which does more damage? That's the answer to your question.
