I do agree that we will probably never know and the officer may have in fact just been an ignorant dipstick. However, I believe we owe law enforcement the over all benefit of the doubt when a plausible explanation exists.

Nope, not on a multi lane highway. Just a two way street with a yellow line.
I really don't care why he did it, we just thought it was obvious what he was doing. I don't think it was necessarily a bad thing. They have better things to do than follow someone who is not doing anything wrong, which this guy wasn't (that we could see). They do hold up traffic when they do that because it's now secret most people slow down when they see a cop.
