When you're glued to yoru rearview mirror because a cop's been behind you for 5 minutes and you are trying to figure out why.
No one ever said anything about them pulling someone over for 'no reason.'

Right, I am saying a cop will not just be sitting at a red light, and as cars drive by, say, hey lets tail that car and wait for them just to do something wrong and pull them over. If you are driving down the road and cops pulls out behind you and travels a few blocks or even miles behind you doens't mean he is tailing you.

I've seen this happen around here a LOT.

Yes, I am serious, I have never seen a speed trap like you are describing. I have seen cops on the side of the road, shooting radar at folks but nothing like what you are describing. Then again, in Phoenix, we have photo radar, so they don't really need to do that either.
