Tony:
I do change if I am slightly over the speed limit because I've heard that some police officers will give you a ticket as they might think you are disrespectful if they have already determined you are speeding, (take my foot off the gas pedal and not hit the brakes). I do not slow down well below the speed limit as this may cause an accident. I tend to move over if possible as the police officer may be headed to an emergency situation.
Many years ago, a driver slowed down a lot after he was speeding in the passing lane of the highway as a police cruiser was looking for him to move over so he could pass him. Subsequently, the police cruiser cut me off with little room and I almost bought the farm!!! It caused me to swerve into another lane and there was another vehicle there. How I avoided this is a miracle.
