These days, traffic awareness seems to be on the rise, with the most recent example of this showing up on Friday, when a Florida woman pulled a police officer over for speeding.
Claudia Castillo, as the woman calls herself on YouTube (this is the name of her channel), was passed by a Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) car while she was driving close to downtown Miami. As she later explained to the cop, she was doing 35 mph (56 km/h), but ended up climbing to 80 mph (about 130 km/h) in her pursuit.

Legal or moral implications aside, there's something particularly peculiar about a Dodge Charger Interceptor being chased and eventually pulled over by a civilian vehicle and yet this is precisely what happened.

With the driver flashing her lights, the officer noticed and came to a stop on the shoulder, thinking the woman had a problem and needed assistance.

Once the officer came to her window, Claudia introduced herself in a very LEO-like (Law Enforcement Officer) manner, starting the conversation with a "the reason I'm pulling you over today" line.

This is the point where things become even stranger - as some police officers wrongfully act when stopping citizens on certain occasions, the woman acts as if her car served as a radar. Confronting the cop, the woman explains she estimates the Charger was doing about 90 mph (145 km/h).

We can see the officer jumping from one facial expression to another before apologizing for speeding and assuring the woman he'll "be sure to slow down." One explanation about leading through the power of example later, the driver closes the case, together with her vertical-filming smartphone and the officer is free to go.

The woman captured three pieces of footage, with the first two showing the chase, while the final one involves the role shifting, and you can see all of the clips below.
