As indicated, he probably ran your tag checking for Warrants, D/L, Registration, stolen vehicle, etc. Sometimes it could take a couple minutes to get a response from NCIC. No way to know why he didn't pull you over. I will tell you, that at an end of a shift, if he's on his way home, unless you do something really stupid and endanger the public, you're less likely to get pulled over. A simple equipment malfunction or speeding ticket can quite often turn into a lot more (not by design).

For example, a guy got pulled over for not using a blinker and right on his back seat happens to be 10 pounds of hydroponic vacuum packed weed. Smelled so strong, it was known to be present from well outside the vehicle. Small things quite often turn into big things. Just saying.

 

In CA he can't write you a ticket just because he thinks you are exceeding the speed limit. He may have seen you going rapidly up the ramp but without a radar reading he would have to pace behind to establish your speed. Since you slowed down by the time he caught up with you there was no reason for him to stop you as your paced speed was legal.

While he was pacing you he used his MDT to clear your plate for warrants and to ensure the vehicle was not stolen.

 

What could I have done if he bumped me in the rear?

 

he was drafting

 

Same things you'd do if anyone else bumped you.

Call the cops?

 

You should have floored it....
He wanted to race you...

 

with a rub

 

In Wisconsin, just over the Illinois border, the cops are famous for pulling over Illinois speeders. Nearly all over my co-workers in the past have gotten nabbed, my V1 has saved me countless times. There have been a few times where unmarked cops will do this same thing to me, follow me until the last exit before the state line before they get off and turn around.

 

Here's what happened.

He saw you on the on ramp. He quickly set down his Dr. Pepper to go catch an arrogant ***** in a Porsche. When he whipped his car around and hit the gas on that pile o crap, it had just enough acceleration to throw his Dr. Pepper on his box of donuts, knocking both onto his polyester pants. That's why he followed so far behind you for so long. After he got the mess cleaned up, he finally caught up. He called in your tag to find your name and address. Once he found out you lived in a good neighborhood he decided to pull you over. At that moment, over the radio, they announced there was a 2 for 1 special on donut holes at Dunkin' Donuts. If you buy a dozen they'll throw in a coffee. He then threw on the lights to make it to the store in time, and drove around you.

Ok, here's the deal. He was just screwing with you. He didn't get a good enough pace to write you so he gave you what we call "white door fever." he knew you were sweating, who wouldn't, so he decided to mess with you for a bit. We also used to call it a "rolling verbal."
