If one gets that bent out of shape because a law enforcement
vehicle was behind them, there musta been a reason for such concern!!??
Maybe they were tailing the car in front of you.
I can honestly say the only time I get nervous when the police are behind me is when I KNOW I was speeding and I just may be the one he is after.
When they are behind me any other time, they are just another vehicle.
I don't have a "high end" vehicle, but I do not note they behave any differently when they are behind me when I am driving my Vette!!
The incident is only an incident in the eye of the beholder. Since you were not pulled over apparently the officer had no interest in you. I fully understand the police paranoia. I have a brother in law when he is driving...if a police car happens to come up behind him, the first thing he says is..oh-oh there is a police man behind me! And every single time I always ask...what did you do wrong. He always says nothing. And I always ask the what's the concern? His response....I just don't like police "following me". And the we skew into the discussion about being followed...and on and on and on.
We should be glad where ever and when ever there is an appearance of an officer of the law.
