I'm guessing you haven't met many MD State Troopers.

Maybe both the driver AND the officer were not paying attention????
Part of the fun is the reaction of the driver being pulled over as the cop scares them by standing in the middle of the road. Many of these people don't actually realize how long it takes to stop a vehicle doing 80mph (or that you can't just swerve without consequence.)
