Cop tailgated me at night time and then gave me a ticket for speeding lol

[BengalsRocker]

I had the same thing happen to me.

In my situation I had someone tailgating me with fog-lights on coming down an inclined road.

The inside of my car was lit the hell up by the vehicle that was ridiculously to me.

So I sped up to create a little bit of distance before trying to maneuver away from them.

As soon as I did... those flashing lights came on.

When the officer pulled me over he asked about my speed and I said "I thought someone had fog-lights on that was following too close to me... so I sped up."

Luckily he just gave me a warning(which is really damn lucky, considering after the fact I found out this was speed trap zone).

It was him the whole time. The warning was an admission that he had created the issue.

I'm not sure if he was using this tactic just to pull someone over in hopes to find intoxication or to search their vehicle.

Sorry to hear that happen to you.

There are good cops and not so good ones.

Just like any other profession you'll have those who fall within that spectrum.
