So yeah, here's a scenario.
My girlfriend is driving to Red Deer, doing 115ish in the fast lane (I know, I know). A cop in a ghost car pulls up behind her, tailgates her, so she speeds up to about 130.
Cop pulls her over and gives her a ticket for speeding, as well as gives her sh*t for not pulling over to let people pass, the cop included, who said they needed to get by. Writes out the ticket for 15 over, and marks that it was estimated (no radar).
Now I know this is 4x4's dream scenario (people getting tickets for not getting out of the way), but I told her to fight it. It seems really odd that the cop would tailgate her (which is illegal) then tell her the reason they did it was that they needed to get by. If you need to get by, turn your lights on. If she's impeding traffic, pull her over and tell her that. Don't force her to speed up, then give her a ticket for it.
Dunno on this one, it seems kinda silly to me.
