Sorry we offended you. But where I've driven lately from GA to AK - it's true. I saw vehicles doing less than the limit get pulled over in GA and IN and again in SD. While others passing me at 75-80mph weren't. Now I'm in AK and a trooper came thru the campground asking for id's. When I asked why he said "because I said so". I'll be leaving this weekend.
Are you aware that there are other violations for which you can be stopped, other than speed? Perhaps they were stopping vehicles with suspended registrations, or lacking insurance, or displaying equipment violations. Just because YOU don't know the reason, doesn't mean that there isn't a valid reason.
Much akin to your ID situation. Perhaps there was a public safety issue and the troopers needed to identify someone. Without knowing the whole story, its rather premature to jump to a conclusion...
