She was too embarrassed to tell me and paid it. Had I known, I would

Some cops, like thieves, are often lazy and look for easy ways to make
money.

And sometimes they're riding your bumper while they're using a plate
reader or calling in the plate number to see if there are any open
warrants or other reasons to make a stop. Once you've checked out
okay, they usually back off.
Years ago the town cop followed my brother out of town, right on his
bumper. As they came over a rizehe could tell it was the cruiser, so
when they hame over the next rise he swerved slighly then nailed the
brakes. The cop locked up all 4 and left the road. When my brother
went back "to see how he was doing" the cop cursed at him and asked
what the X$%LL he was doing, and all my brother said was "you didn't
see the big dog??? I just missed him."
