I remember reading a book a while back written by a highway patrolman. He said that the highway patrolmen are like predators and we are the prey. And just like predators they will go after the easiest targets. That explains why when a group of cars are speeding they don't necessarily go after the worse offender but the easiest target.
Among some of the tips he gave was to find out when the shift change was in your area since most of them tried to meet their quota during the first part of their shift so they could take it easy for the remainder. He also said that no matter what they say there is a quota, if you don't give enough tickets you will hear about it from your superiors.
Needless to say, spinning out in front of one of these guys is almost surely going to get their attention.
