I think we hold a grudge against them just because we encounter the first situation more often than the latter. And to say there is nothing a cop does for you that you cant do for yourself is just ignorant.

I am not generalizing all the cops use the tailgating "tactic" to give out tickets. But if you didn't know it was a cop; what would you do?
option #1: move to another lane for the car kissing yours to pass?
option #2: accelerate so the car behind won't be so close?
option #3: flip them off?
option #4: prove that your brakes are better than their's?
Option #2, #3 and #4 would probably end up with a ticket.
I encountered these kind of cops at least once/twice a month. I don't have "any" mods on the car, no exhuast, no tint, nothing. There's really no reason to be following without lights on and waiting for a chance to pull me over.
And talking about generalizing, I believe cops are the ones who are generalizing cars with 2 doors or badges with "sport", "turbo" or "Z" are criminals who does 200km/h on hwy. Yes, the car is capable but so are Camry and Fit (no disrespect).
I respect officers who setup road blocks and taking DUI drivers off the road. But question on the officers who hides behind the bushes and jumps out on the road for a stop. And certainly not sure about tailgating tactic.
just my 2 cent
