re: Is it legal to stop someone for not wanting to be followed by a police car?

Why didn't you want me following you?

You sound just like the first officer. I told him that there is a difference between someone not wanting someone behind you and not wanting someone to follow you. My situation was the former.

You do know that if you have your cell phone on people can figure out where you are.

And?

but seriously, can they pull you over for no reason?

Seriously, yes. Is it constitutional? No, but they don't give a frick and nobody is going to do anything about it so they do it anyway.

You shouldn't have been pulled over for no reason, but they can do anything they want and in most cases will get away with it, as has been evidenced numerous times on camera in the last few years. They can beat the shite out of you on camera and get off with a slap on the wrist and a few paid days off. Do not argue with a cop. Do as you are told and remain silent. If you feel that your rights were violated then file a complaint with internal investigations that won't go anywhere or my favorite - call your senator because they really give a frick and are really gonna get off their corrupt asses and do something about it lol....good luck with that.

Sorry but not much you can do here. Sounds like your rights were violated and there really isn't much you're going to be able to do about it.

My favorite was when you were bragging about being a homeowner then admitted that your dad bought the house.

Genius

The short answer is yes, they are allowed to simply drive behind you on a public roadway.

Has anyone gotten a picture of the basement-dwelling dude that pretends to be yoga girl yet?

A) I don't believe this actually happened.
B) Police have to have suspicion of something to pull you over, but lets not act like it's impossible for them to B.S. a reason.
C) Never in a million years let them search your car.

*Not a lawyer, but dealt with enough over zealous cops as I worked a late shift Fridays and Saturdays.

What special kind of idiot slows down and WAVES for a cop to pass them?

I can just imagine some scared little girl shaking like a chihuahua at the prospect of "being followed" by a cop, acting extremely suspiciously, and waving at a cop to go around her and then having NO CLUE how he could possibly think she was behaving strangely. I'd ask where your fricking meth is.

No. I was not avoiding the officer because I had no reason to avoid him. I did not want him following me,

In which prompted a series of turns by you. The intention of those turns was to do what exactly? Ahhhh, yes. Avoid him.

Avoid - verb - to keep away from or stop oneself from doing.

So....

which is not "trying to avoid him

....this is blatantly false.
