I got a verbal warning once for "hypermiling" my way through a stop sign at a deserted intersection. Some call it a "rolling stop." The cop was parked halfway down the block of the cross street.
(YKYAEM when the entire time the cop had you in his sights, your engine was also shut off.)
As soon as he pulled away from the curb to follow me, I signalled and stopped - before he even activated his lights. I knew I was busted, and got my paperwork out.
I immediately admitted fault: "I know why you stopped me. Sorry about that! There were no other cars around, but I should have made a full stop anyway."
Got a verbal warning.
Similar to freebeard, he might have treated me differently if he'd known how I
typically behaved at stop signs at deserted intersections with clear sight lines!
