I think it's just a way for the LEO to go fishing.

He simply created an excuse to pull you over, so that he could question you and maybe find something important....If not, he still gets to put a moving violation toward his quota.

I really wish more people in the general public had a means of making life miserable for LEO's that abuse their badge like this.

With the Supreme Court telling LEO's that they can stop/detain people with ZERO probable cause as long as they call it a "DUI checkpoint", I think probable cause has been a running joke with them for a long time.

This tailgate/harass tactic is just an extension of the "public interest" ends-justify-the-means mindset.
