When I had my 280ZX I had a cop pull me over. I pulled into the parking lot and I'm SURE I haven't done anything. He asks for my licsence and registration then he comes back to the car and I'm all freaking out and half pissed off because I can't think of why he would be pulling me over. He comes back and says "thanks". I ask him why he pulled me over and he says "oh these cars get stolen a lot". So I tell him I hadn't reported mine stolen so I'm still not sure why he was pulling me over and he says "we'll we like to be sure". I wish I was a little older and experience and I'd have shown my displeasure...
...oh and I had another extremely mechanically challenged cop pull me over. He said I had crossed over a single line at an intersection which I hadn't. I told him that I hadn't and was it possible from his viewing angle that it was after I had passed through the intersection that I had changed lanes. Well he was already on to the next item on his agenda. I had pulled over and it was one of those sloping sidewalks and my rear tire was on the curb. He procedes to tell me I need an inspection because my axel was broken! I tried to explain to him that the car had independant rear suspension and that the axel wasn't broken its just that each rear wheel was independant from the axel of the other rear wheel. He didn't get it and made me get the inspection anyhow.
sooo.... at least they were just following you and not actually pulling you over an harassing you... I was happy last week when the cop followed me for a few kms and never bothered to pull me over. I think for the most part they are just bored - just don't suck me into your boredom
