I got pulled over by a WSP in almost exactly the same scenario you just described, Superman. It was late on a Saturday night (like 11pm), and I had been watching a set of headlights at my left rear quarter for probably 10 miles. Traffic was just about nil, and almost nobody does what I was doing -- the speed limit, so I was starting to get a bit concerned. Scarier, the headlights in my left blind spot stayed there when the speed limit dropped from 60 to 55 -- I'm one of like 3 people in the whole state that slows down at that spot! I don't know about anybody else, but I get pretty nervous when people spend more than a moment in my blind spot, or adjacent to me, or whatever. I thought about speeding up to try and lose the individual, who was obviously some joker playing a stupid game, but decided instead to slam on the brakes. As my speed dropped through 45, I saw the headlights draw forward, but not much -- whoever was playing this game had pretty decent brakes too. Then the headlights fell back into place and the red and blues came on.

The officer explained that she had been following me for quite some time, and was concerned that I was drunk (hadn't had a beer in like 3 weeks). I explained that I was concerned that she was some joker kid playing stupid games in the middle of the night. I don't know how well she took that, but she didn't write me a ticket, so I can't complain too much about having lost 20 minutes by the side of the road late one night.

I'll second that sentiment, Superman. The WSP obviously has lots of money and training, but I really don't think they're using it effectively.
