Do you get nervous when a police car is behind you?

Okay, this morning coming to work I past a State Trooper coming the other direction. He turned around just as I passed him and followed me the rest of the way up the road to a stop sign , a left turn and 2 right turns before he turned away.Followed me for almost 10 mins.I just bet he was hoping for a rolling stop or a swerve into the other lane. Made me nervous as heck. Does it kinda bother you when they follow like that, I mean , okay get close to run the plate, but back off then. He stayed on me the whole time.

Every friggin time. And I haven't been stopped in maybe 20 years, but I still don't like them behind me

[Nostalgiabuff]

yeah, every time. you just never know waht they are up to trailing you like that

[Adam West]

Yes....he was obviously suspicious of something. Maybe you were a few miles over the speed limit so thought by following you; he might be able to write you a ticket for something else. It has been years since I received a speeding ticket, but distinctly remember a police car u-turning after me and following me for about 2 miles before pulling me over. I did ask him why he didn't pull me over a couple of miles back where he asserted I was speeding rather than follow me. I don't remember his answer, but took it to court and won.

No...I'm an excellent driver...plus I have nothing to hide.

...and if I got stopped for a broken taillight or something...not a biggie.

In Hec's neighborhood, I get nervous if there isn't a cop around.

jk, hec

I've got a buddy who is state highway patrol who says its fun to tail people for no reason. He rarely even bothers to run plates. He just likes to see people forced into obeying speed limits and finds it amusing. Yeah, he's a jerk.

I only have a bicycle. I get nervous when anything is behind me...

[HumanWolfman]

Everytime.

I also have police officer friends who do the same thing. It really annoys me that some of them do these kinds of things. I also constantly see police officers who do not obey the speed limit, come to rolling stops, run red lights, etc. but do not seem to be doing this to hurry themselves to anywhere in particular.

Back in the day I driving at night .... A car going the opposite way blinds me with their high beams ... I flash mine on as a signal for them to turn theirs off ... The car instead puts on his roof lights (it was a cop) and turns around to get me ... No way am I going to pay a ticket because of this jerk ... I spead up and then ducked in a driveway and he passed by (luckily it was night)...

Besides a certain Mego Museum member, I never met a cop that I liked

Yeah, they have no problem with themselves or their spouses breaking traffic laws. In fact, they have stickers they put on their on vehicles so they know not to pull each other or their spouses over. Finding that out kinda bugged me, but what are you gunna do. I guess their jobs put them in a danger the average citizen seldom faces, so maybe no traffic tickets is a perk for them I can live with.

[Iron Mego]

Nope. I figure if one is behind me for an exorbitant amount of time, I may have a light out or something, which ain't no big thing. The route I take to work is littered with motorcycle cops, so I always drive the speed limit or about 3 mph over.
