I've never heard of it happening, but any time a LEO comes up behind me at a significant speed differential, I immediately put my turn signal on and get out of his way ASAP. If the next lane over is jammed, I don't speed up much more than about 5-8 over... and somebody in the next lane usually sees the situation and lets me over.
There's never an excuse/reason for aggressive tailgating. It's just wrong and it endangers lives whenever it's done because it creates the potential for a multi-car, multi-lane pileup.
If you don't believe me, just ask an intelligent, conscientious LEO... they've seen it all too often.
