"and you will have no legal recourse as you have no corroborating witnesses on your side"
Doesn't hurt to use your cell phone to record, then you have a record of what actually went down. There's even a free app from the New Jersey ACLU on the Play Store which will record the encounter and upload it to them, so even if the cop tries to erase it the recording is still in the cloud.

Yes......that's a great idea!
Get out your smart phone and start recording the whole incident. Make sure you stick it right in the cop's face and be sure that you narrate the whole time.
Be sure that you get his / her badge # while you're at it.
If you were hoping for a non-confrontational stop, that'll certainly insure one.

OK for the record, I don't flash my badge. Also there is nothing in my states system about my former state employment.
I have said it before, be calm, polite, simple answers and trouble is not likely to find you. Well, unless you have warrants or felonies. Even then 99% of LEOs will be professional.
Above all don't volunteer information and they will issue you your ticket to get the revenue and move on to the next person speeding in the trap he is working.

WOW! Hope CA isn't that bad! Actually I've driven rental cars there on several occasions from SF north and around San Diego. Never noticed cops behaving differently than around home.
I think I will just obey the traffic laws and behave as normal. Never had a speeding ticket I didn't earn but I've never been rude to a LEM or had one be unreasonable to me.
Thanks for the suggestions.
