i have cops waited for me when i was at the light at an intersection and when he pulled on the side of my car i rolled my window down and he did the same thing,then he asked him self outloud this..why did i buy a g37?370 looks a lot better in so many ways and he told me he dig my z.sometimes we get offended when cops follow you around but you have to understand that its their job to do that.you didnt mention if this same cop pulled you over and give you a citation.i think in my own opinion hes just admiring ur 370 and wish that hes driving one instead of driving his patrol car.you know once in a while youl see a rare car and you starts admiring it? sometimes you even follow it arround just to get more glimpse of it? its the same thing what this cop was doing.to be honest with you im the third one here in san diego to have the 370z according to the dealer and yet so far i have not seen the other two.

No, I haven't gotten a ticket. Its not the same cop, I just see them go out of their way to get behind me to see what I am up to.

Its kind of funny. Like today, he switched 3 lanes followed me to work waited to see if I was really parking, I lold, but it gets annoying.

As long as you don't give them a reason, they(legally)can't pull you over.

When I had my 280ZX I had a cop pull me over. I pulled into the parking lot and I'm SURE I haven't done anything. He asks for my licsence and registration then he comes back to the car and I'm all freaking out and half pissed off because I can't think of why he would be pulling me over. He comes back and says "thanks". I ask him why he pulled me over and he says "oh these cars get stolen a lot". So I tell him I hadn't reported mine stolen so I'm still not sure why he was pulling me over and he says "we'll we like to be sure". I wish I was a little older and experience and I'd have shown my displeasure...

...oh and I had another extremely mechanically challenged cop pull me over. He said I had crossed over a single line at an intersection which I hadn't. I told him that I hadn't and was it possible from his viewing angle that it was after I had passed through the intersection that I had changed lanes. Well he was already on to the next item on his agenda. I had pulled over and it was one of those sloping sidewalks and my rear tire was on the curb. He procedes to tell me I need an inspection because my axel was broken! I tried to explain to him that the car had independant rear suspension and that the axel wasn't broken its just that each rear wheel was independant from the axel of the other rear wheel. He didn't get it and made me get the inspection anyhow.

sooo.... at least they were just following you and not actually pulling you over an harassing you... I was happy last week when the cop followed me for a few kms and never bothered to pull me over. I think for the most part they are just bored - just don't suck me into your boredom

nizz23sd you've seen my Z lol!

I get paranoid when cops are behind me. I know I'm not doing anything wrong, but all my past confrontations with the cops has me a bit jittery. They'll follow a bit then next thing you know they're gone.
Is it the same cop following all the time? If so that cop is just being a d**k!

There is a very simple explanation for what is going on. You have what they call Delusions of Persecution.

delusions of persecution

noun
a delusion (common in paranoia) that others are out to get you and frustrate and embarrass you or inflict suffering on you; a complicated conspiracy is frequently imagined.

Its okay. you are not special. no one is out to get you. the police do not have a collective consciousness.

My father in law is a cop. Let me tell you what goes on in their little world. They drive around all day, bored out of their minds. Then they see a new Z on the road, so they change lanes and follow it a bit. "Hmmm, that's that new sportscar. Hmmm, has a nice, sleek look. Hmmm, wonder what it looks like from the side. Hmmm, wonder if there is a hot woman driving it...better see where she goes."

It's not always malicious...just a change in the monotony for them. If they really felt like it, they'd just pull you over to talk about it.

That's exactly what I was going to say. Cops are just people too - they see a sleek new sports car for the first time and they're probably just curious. Just like you turn your head when you see a lambo (drool, saw a yellow one yesterday) or similar passing by.

I got tailed the other day for about 5 miles... I've decided that next time a cop is unsafely close to me (as the last one was) I'm gonna call 911 on my cell and report em for driving to close/harrassing me for no reason lol.

I haven't had any problems ever since i got pulled over for speeding awhile back. My big fear is my truck, it's about a foot higher than legal bumper height's and the five inch exhaust can be heard from 3 blocks away. So i'm waiting for the day i get pulled over in the ford.
