It matters not whether you're actually speeding or not, you're still breaking a law. Of course, whether the cop DOES pull you over or not depends wholly on his perception of the situation. If he sees someone tailgating you, there's a good chance he won't pull you over. If the person behind you caught the light as it turned red, guess who's screwed now?
I still don't find that these scenarios happen often enough to even be seriously addressed as a whole, though.

Cameras expect every driver to be perfect all the time, and on a 50 MPH road with a 3 second yellow at the bottom of a 12 mile continuous downhill mountain road with a 5,000 foot elevation drop, they demand too much.
