Prima facie rule is really "don't be a moron."
I would throttle up in the right lane and not have a speed differential not too great compared to traffic, because someone that cuts you off to make an exit could be fatal.
Also, there are some areas, like near UC Davis, where a cop on 80 will stand behind the rise of an overpass berm to hide his vehicle around a bend and nab people using laser. Thankfully the twice this happened, laser jamming may have been allegedly deployed and he checked his gun for errors while I might have turned the alleged system off and coasted.
If someone were unlucky enough to have been pulled over:
If the cop is male, you can try a sob story ("I'll lose my job because I need to make FAA status") or actual sobbing. If the cop is female, emotional persuasion is less effective.
Also if someone happens to get a ticket, best move would be to be unmemorable as possible and fight it. There's a zillion technicalities because there are so many ways to screw up (not) measuring and writing the ticket.
Heck, a friend of mine even legally has no front license plate and gets out of every fix-it because a previous ruling allowed it. Mine has a front-center threaded tow-receiver hook frame, so you can guess where it's at most of the time. :)
