To Pass or Not To Pass

Pass but not over the speed limit. They do this on purpose to bait drivers or if they're eyeing someone up ahead.

This is the correct answer. In drivers ed we learned it is only ok to pass when you NEVER EXCEED the speed limit, and also when it is safe to do so and you have very far visibility. If the cop is going 4 under the limit you most likely won't have enough speed to pass quickly if you go the limit, so in this case I would say don't pass. However, if you had a really really long stretch of flat road and plenty of time to pass slowly, I would go the speed limit and very slowly pass the cop just to piss him off because technically you aren't doing anything illegal.
