Had a cop in an unmarked Mustang tailgating me on the way home from work yesterday. He'd get close for a few hundred feet, then back away for a minute or so, then get close again, etc, etc. If I were a betting man, I'd say he was trying to goad me into speeding so that he could ticket me.

He followed me for several miles. For the Houstonians on the board, he jumped behind me on 59, just after the spur (where all the vines are) and followed me all the way to 610.

It was fairly dense traffic so no one was really going above 30ish. He can't possibly think people don't know an unmarked cop car when they see one, particularly when it's directly behind them - laptop at dash level, short row of square white lights going all they way across the dash just inside the windshield, driver steering with one hand while the other is checking the lap top - come on, dude. Weak.
