But reading between the lines, they seem to have stopped you because you had an under 21 tag. If he knew for a fact (assuming he had some kind of radar) that you were doing exactly 6 mph over the limit, then its really unusual for him to stop you at all. In FL, you are allowed 5 mph before they can give you a ticket. And the radar has an error of +/- 1-2 mph. So basically, whether you realized it or not, the cop was picking on you.
He pulled out and turned his lights on as I was approaching him from the front (before seeing the back of my bike with the under 21 tag)
