Some unlucky guy got pulled over cuz of me, I think.

This is purely speculation, so you guys be the judge.

I pull out from a shopping center, following the regular flow of traffic, and pass by a cop on my left lane, which was at a stand-still. Still following the flow of traffic, which is going no faster than the speed limit, I observe the cop from my rear view and notice he makes a U, and now driving the opposite direction.

This is a pretty busy street at the time so I'm still driving at speed limit along with everyone else, although I didn't have any intention to be speeding through anyone anyway. After several blocks I reach a point where I'm about to make a left into my main neighborhood, and just waiting on the light. The car to my left is a Ford fusion, and then I noticed... a cop behind him.

This struck me as odd since cops don't normally patrol my neighborhood. So I'm thinking, is this the same cop? Did he really come back and try to get in my blind spot? Or another cop also needing to make a U.

So light turns and I'm in a long stretch of road toward my neighborhood and the cop is maintaining his distance on the left lane. Ok, limit here is 40, so I'll hover around 40-42.

Now, the Fusion on the left is starting to speed up. Not sure if his intention was to pass me to get into my lane, or he just decided he needed to get home quicker, but he certainly didn't notice the cop behind him. I'm thinking, "no dude!", and then he's probably up to the 50s and before he knew it, *whoop whoop*, and the cop has his way.

I later review my dash cam and sure enough, it was the same cop that I passed, and made the U earlier. If he was targeting me, it's unfortunate, especially for the Fusion guy. I'm driving a stock Nismo, so I guess all he could've gotten me on is not having a front license.

So if it was me, sorry Fusion guy.


If you're wondering whether he could've been targeting the Fusion guy in the first place... it's possible, but upon reviewing my driving footage, I saw the Fusion several cars behind the Cop, on the left lane. So the cop would've had to target the Fusion way, way earlier, among a pretty packed street, if that's the case. /shrug
