Just driving 5 under is NOT probable cause for him to have pulled you over. He violated your civil rights in doing this. They will however, make some excuse for pulling you over. My brother is a deputy and I talk to him all the time about cops that tail me because I drive a Honda that has a high theft rate where we are. So it frustrates me that I get followed even because I drive a certain kind of car. And really you don't need to give him your ID unless he states his probable cause. You can when he asks if you want to be cooperative, but not until the real reason has been divulged.
