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.
This is the place I've heard about it happening!

Likewise if a CHP or similar was trying to come through, I'd make sure I got the hell out of the way. But what do you do if you're suddenly tailgated with someone riding your ass? I think I'd just speed up my over taking to let them through - bit of a bugger if it's an unmarked cruiser trying to trick you into a ticket. I have no personal knowledge of this happening, only what I've read on Pelican.
