That generally works for Fire and EMS as well, though the ones I know "accidentally" display their credentials as they're "trying to find" their TDL.

Doesn't really bother me, every job has its perks.

It's called being respectful and polite. I'm guilty of it as well.

Ahhh yup. Count me in as well.

I say "thanks you", to thank them for all the times they didn't catch me, like a couple minutes earlier when I was doing 20mph faster, and for that reflective tape they have on their car that helped me shave another 10mph or so off the ticketed speed.
