Did he search your vehicle? Sounds like a fishing expedition to me. Hoping to either find Cannabis or cash/valuables he could seize under civil forfeiture.

Yeah, he ran my info once inside his car. I figured he just thought it was suspicious of a slow car from out of state (possibly with a hispanic inside, gonna give him benefit of the doubt on that one) but I'm assuming the law doesn't allow him to stop me on a suspension (reasonable cause) so he made up the whole 80 to 60 thing then got me away from my evidence. Like I said aside from not letting me show my evidence he was pretty cool dude, didn't say anything off, but clearly just intent on running my info. Or maybe he really did believe he saw me do what he said. We'll never know. i just had to post it to be able to let it go and get it off my mind.

Finally got some down time. See pics. That's one chip off my shoulder. I'm sure the lights will go off once I drive a few miles. The other connector was plugged in ok, but the surrounding shell was also loose.

Thanks for all the support guys.

Edit: yup, it turned off soon as I move a few feet. In retrospect, I would have been able to notice if I'd looked from the back of the car, just didn't think it'd be so obvious.
