Back where I grew up on Long Island, no one slowed down. If you're speeding and you're going the same speed as the cars around you, the assumption is, he can't catch all of us. Maybe if you're the car at the very back of a group, you might slow down, but otherwise, the odds of you being the one he pulls over are too slight. In fact, slowing down might be what makes him pick you out from the crowd.
Back where I grew up on Long Island, people kept the same speed, or might even speed up, when they see a cop having pulled someone over. After all, if he's standing there talking to some other poor sucker, he can't be chasing you and pulling you over. So this is the best time to be speeding because they know at least one cop (and probably the only cop doing traffic duty in the area) is busy.
I make no judgments about either approach, or which one is better.
