Because they saw something. You may not have, but they did. Their goal is not to intimidate. They may find the fact tat it happens funny as hell, but it is not their goal. I don't know a cop out there who is willing to take enforcement action without cause. That is a one way ticket to a Title 42 Section 1983 claim. Such a case can ruin your entire life; often even if it is proven to be false.
I know there are bad cops out there. I devoted my career to taking them out of the system. I was quite successful at it too. But on the whole, they are either good guys, or they are WAY crooked. And those guys are not interested in shaking down drivers.
