the fact you immediately started questioning him and then didn't answer a question of his will give him more than enough support to fight any complaint you file against him.

you got no ticket, no warning, no nothing just a minor 5 minute inconvience. why would you even try to make something out of this?
Actually you are partially right, they don't have to give you a reason unless they ae writing a ticket...but...if they are just randomly pulling cars over or frequent target a type of vehicle it can open up to other issues of abuse of power and inhibiting the right to travel and safety.

Intimidation?
fine you really wanna go into how much of a "dick" he was ... here

last weekend, im DD for my friends. 2am i go get the car and pull up in front of bar. girls are coming down the stairs but its really icy and they are in high heels. i throw on my flashers cuz im kinda in the traffic lane. car pulls up behind, its a cop. he throws on his spotlight so i assume he's coming up to check me out. as girls are getting in car he finally approaches, hits my window with his light. i roll down and immedialtly he demands my license and says hes giving me a ticket.

i say fine, im just picking friends up if im in error here then write me a ticket. again he threatens me with a ticket and cusses me out. i again explain im merely picking people up, it was icy and the girls had a hard time coming down. at this point a multitude of taxis are doing the same thing i am. he again threatens me with a ticket ... by now everyone is in the car. he looks at me one last time. throws my license in the car, not handing it to me, it falls on floor and says "get the fuck out of here" and walks away ...

now THAT is something that you file a complaint for ... not a cop pulling you over regardless how he got to you and then letting you on your way with nothing but a "have a nice night"

get over the fact that apperently you drive in a way that cops notice you and quit bitching

nah more like closing time in major college town and its edge of campus ... the majority of the cops are douchebags so you just deal

he was all pissed cuz hes like "i dont just put my light on you for no reason, it means move" ... which is odd cuz i would think if a cop lights you up you better not go anywhere :dunno:

wasnt gonna argue and i didnt, move on, no ticket and its all fine

I guess im going to not stop anymore for red lights then. guess that gets the attention of cops.

You probably didnt file a complaint cause you felt you knew you were in the wrong.
