Great to see a member of the constabulary happy to address our concerns
I had the same feeling about this, skylines are regularly pulled over and in most cases for nothing more than an ID check. So many of them are stolen and used to commit crimes that police are simply trying to keep tabs on them.
That said, I might add an experience I had last year.
Coming home one night, like Jimx i was very close to my place when I noticed a set of lights behind me which had been there for some time while I was taking the back streets home. Now considering prior to this I had been followed to my house by a bunch of drunk tools which thoroughly freaked me out, I was being very very cautious. To check if the car was following me, I continued driving at around 50kph,in the pissing down rain, around the block, past where I would normally turn off, the mystery car followed. After doing a loop and ending up back in my original position the car was still right behind me, I couldnt make out what sort of car, and I was really starting to get the shits. I proceeded to do 2 more laps of this block near home before it was blatantly clear whoever it was behind me was tailing me.
I got jack of it so halfway through the 3rd lap I stopped, in the middle of the road and reversed back to the bumper of the car behind me and got out.
Much to my surprise, it was two casually dressed under cover police who demanded I get back in my car.
I did, and was forced to put my window down (remember that pissing down rain?) and one officer began having a go at me for not indicating around the corners while i was leading them around in circles. After I then gave them a peice of my mind about following me in the early hours of the morning without due cause in an unmarked car AND literally metres from my house (which they would be completely aware of as they no doubt ran my plates), they mumbled something and walked back to their car and drove off.
That shat me off - while I understand their motivations and actions 99% of the time, this was one example of totally unessesary harrassment.
