I remember getting pulled over for speeding with a female in the passenger seat. Afterwards, she was quite adept at pointing out exactly when he made up his mind and the outcome could not be changed.


Did you later call and ask the officer if that was the exact second he decided you will get a ticket? Or were you merely persuaded by her saying that was what happened?


How did you come to believe this information to be correct? I'd don't expect the officer literally told you.


I suspect n=1 anecdotes are useless here.
