Or any other police dude....
When a state boy pulls up behind you cause he wants to check u out on the highway, why do they tailgate so close for so long?. I can se maybe for a second to get ur plate numbers then backing back off. But this never happens, they juat stay close. Is there a reason?. This has happened every time i ever been pulled over in my life.. Maybe ten times or so.
im curious cause when its of a night its really distacting when ur driving and you know its a cop tailgating but you cant tap ur brakes like for a regular tailgator cause you know that will tick him off. But it creates a dangerous situation if you deeded to brake for a deer. And if you did and he hit u he would somehow make it your fault cause hes the law...

Im curious on why they do it and if they are cautioned against creating this situation?

it is for YOU to give probable cause for a traffic stop ! by that hime just being behind you will make you nervis wether you'v done anything wroung at that point or not SO givin that if you drift left of center , weave, no turn signal,several reasons can be considered AS probable cause I can follow someone in my priviate car car the same way as i do in the patroll car an get the same reaction just the presents of the COP being behind you will make you nervis to give him probable cause if he wants to stop you for something !! 15 yr law enforcment.

I say break check them! They (Police Officers) are no better or worse than anyone else on the road and have to follow by the same laws. I have been passed by the law on the interstate when I was rolling 75 mph. I just spped up and follow them at thier rate of speed. I do it all of the time. I also watched a cop drive by my house at a minimum of 50 mph with no lights or siren. The Speed limit is 25 mph. I caught a glimpse of his car # and gave the chief a call. I then ran into the same cop a week later and ask him WTF his problem was. He was not happy!

I let him know that I was the one that called the chief.

Don't get me wrong. I respect them for what they do.
