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
Oh, you are Canadian, that explains it.
