More Misadventures with the Police Department

So this morning I was at work and it was incredibly busy. The woman I was working with wasn't feeling well and I just wanted to get out of building so we agreed to go out to lunch.

So we got into my car and pulled out to the road that runs onto the main highway. At the intersection, waiting to go straight, was a police truck. Now I've never seen a police truck. I know the police department has patrol cars, some various sized SUVs, boats, motorcyles, and bicycles. I didn't, however, know they ownded trucks. I'm sure though they do come in handy due to the fact that we have a lot of coastal area here.

So my coworker points out of the police truck. We looked over and commented that we had never seen one. Of course a cop was driving it.

After looking over, when the light was still green, I pulled out to make a right hand turn (stopped, traffic was clear). The light for the people going straight then turned green after I pulled out onto the main highway.

So anyways the police truck starts going the same way I'm going. All of a sudden I start hearing this engine revving and the truck starts staying parallel with me.

This naturally got my attention. As I'm driving a little further I heard it revving again and then I looked over. The truck at this point is tailgating the car in front of him.

At this point the cop is looking directly into my car. I mean I made eye contact with him. I just said "Do you see what he's doing?" My coworker was like, "Yes!" And I just said, I've got a police officer already. I don't need another one.

A few seconds later I merged back into the far right hand lane so I could turn into the parking lot of the eating place we were going to.

WOW..this is the second time this has happened to me recently. I had another cop try a similiar stunt a few months ago (http://cjcrimgirl.blogspot.com/2009/04/wrong-way.html).

A third incident (forget about today) was when I was at a 7-11 down the street from work. I went in to get a Diet Dr. Pepper. There was a patrol car parked in the parking lot and the officer was inside hanging out (free food). I just went in, smiled at him as I was walking by, and paid for my purchase. When I left, he hauls ass out of the door after me, and makes some huge deal about going to his car. He kept staring at me the entire time I was in there. Believe me, I do not look like someone who shoplifts or commits other criminal activity (I don't condone profiling).

I'm beginning to wonder if these officers recognize me from court or something. I don't know any police officers from this precinct area.

Who knows....my life is truly insane.
