Because you live in a police state, my friend. In my experience, the most egregious stories of cops chasing non-criminal infractions for revenue-bolstering purposes seem to come from MD & VA. The worst part about it is that they seem to believe their own BS... from all reports, those cops act like radar detectors, tinted windows, and non-stock mufflers are ruining American society, and they are the last line of defense.

Move up our way - CT state cops on radar patrol don't even blink if you're going under 80 mph. Hell, the staties even drive 85 everywhere they go!

MA, too: my wife got pulled over on I-91 (by laser) on our way back from VT a couple of years ago. The cop asked her how fast she was going, and she said, "About 80... 82 maybe." So he said, "I appreciate your honesty, so I'm not giving you a ticket. Please slow down."

Ever heard of something like that happening in VA?
