I hit my brakes to slow down hoping his radar (if he had it on?) didn't track me instead of the caddie.
During my travels mostly in the day I see little law enforcement enforcing traffic laws.

The Sheriff's car was traveling
south on a 4 lane street
divided by a median and the Caddie was going
north?
Assuming that the deputy was alerted to the speeder, by the time he could make a U turn and begin a pursuit of the speeder, it is likely that he would have to go
80 mph or more to overtake him. All for a possible ticket for a minor traffic violation? The risk to the public is greater than the benefit of giving someone a ticket in this situation.
At the beginning of Snowbird season you will see lots of traffic enforcement on Buena Vista by teams of deputies, one standing on the roadside with a radar gun and another either on foot a few yards farther down the road or in a chase vehicle. This gets the attention of the Snowbirds and one hopes it keeps them driving more carefully for the balance of their visit.
