as for the original post, the cop may have been on "silent approach" and as said by others, your lack of mirrors has contributed to the car having to break (something BTW that pisses me off when cars do it to me and cut me up...........don't think they've ever heard of the 2 second rule!)
treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself and you wont go far wrong in life, you'll always get some numpty but they tend to be a minority in all walks of life, a simple "sorry officer, I just misjudged your speed" would probably have placated him/her. Been pulled a few times in the car and being polite has paid off, got done once in a works van, coned lane for workmen but no one working and doing 40 in a 30; car ahead was going away from me put never got stopped, lad was writing the ticket before I'd stopped the van.............he must have had a score to settle with white van man!!
BTW, the bike cops on my course are really good and know their stuff
