I've done a ride along with a local LEO agency. They dont light you up right away cause they are running the tag to determine whether they will need backup right away or not. There is no reason to tailgate cause you can see the tag from a faily good distance behind. Those cops that do tailgate are just on a power trip thats all.

If not, did you ever think that he was trying to run your plate to see if the car was stolen. If your car was stolen you probably would be saying that police do nothing. Too many people these days think cops are bad and abuse their power. Wake up people...Do a local ride-along with your local PD and you will see how it all works.

I can agree with what your saying, and realize these guys usually have a thankless job....however, some also abuse their authority and I believe that anyone in the car with me that night would agree he was just trying to provoke or intimidate.

If he was on a non emergency run, he had at least three chances to pass, which he never attempted... he simply came up an my tail with no oncoming traffic, and never veered to the left to look around me or start to pass.

I shall apologize for being in his way driving the speed limit on a public road, if he would simply let me know that I can run at any speed to stay out of his way so he doesn't dangerously tail gate me, without he inturn giving me a ticket, heck ya I am in.

Next time I am in a similar situation, I will simply accelerate until he can't stay on my bumper and see what happens to me.... NOT

cops are like everyone else, human, not perfect, have emotions, have lives, ect ect.
yeah he may be checking plates, he may be checking the ride, he may be trying to speed, he may be trting to get you to run, he may just be trying to be a huge dick.
either way, he gots a gun, i gots a stang. its a cop finder and the po po love to look up my plates, but if im legalish i dont worry. as for brake check, never, pull over in a hurry sure why not
tell a cop off?? not a good idea, they can "find" a reason, trust me, the law is gay.
ps for all you who "hate" cops, see how much you hate if you ever need em on your side
most of the time you can level with em so just chill and thrill safely

I was mostly just irritated abit and feeling frisky that night I guess, probably a stupid move on my part, but I got a story to tell friends that all look at me in shock when I tell them what I did. Makes for a good story, and luckily I didn't get a ticket.
