Never busted, but thought I was done for at one point:
There's a stretch of road I used to drive daily without worry because I knew it always had cops so I just set cruise control to like 3/4 over the speed limit and never had any problems over the course of 3 years. The night I was stopped, I was doing my usual safety precautions, except I was returning home with something just shy of 2oz. of glass in my truck that had like 2 hiding places total cause it was so small.
Cops pull me over, and ask for my license and registration. I give it to them casually and he goes back to his cruiser. Maryland police, for whatever reason ALWAYS have a backup unit whenever they pull someone over, no matter what the reason. So he's in his car for roughly 5-7 min. and finally his backup arrives, only there's 2 backup and one of them pulls in front of me I suppose to box me in. Shit sandwiched, I don't panic, but I do worry. Finally maybe 3-4 minutes later, the 2 cops behind me get out at the same time, one taking each side of my ride, and flash their blinders in my mirrors so I cant see shit. Lights are in the cab of the truck, and im a little concerned. The original officer looks around a bit, his radio squelches (couldn't make out the message) and he hands my license n registration back, quickly turns and blurts out "FIX YOUR FUCKING TAIL LIGHT, MARINE!" I go home and don't sleep for a few days.
I knew there was a reason I had those Marine Corps/POW stickers across my back window still, despite my tour in the military being complete. Now they're stuck fo' life, though I don't fuck with that shit anymore.
