    People can't use being abused for not obeying the laws. That's one of the things that is wrong now. If you were abused, there is help. If you choose not to get the help, that is on you.

    They don't need "Probable Cause" to stop a car. The standard to stop a vehicle is "Reasonable Suspicion," a much lower legal standard than PC. And yes, there probably is reasonable suspicion if an officer THINKS you are doing something and it turns out later that you factually were NOT doing that thing.

    Listen to the lawyer. He is right.

    There's a very basic rule of law here that your mother taught you (or should have) a long time ago: Two wrongs don't make a right.

    Yes, the officer may have been wrong for following too close. That doesn't give you the right to try to instigate a collision by brake checking. The answer to tailgaters of any sort is almost always just to slow (smoothly) down. It gives them the maximum chance to pass you and if not increases the reaction time and decreases the severity of a possible collision.

    It's actually to pull over and let them pass.
