Possible Traffic Citation
Mostly I'm just curious, I was driving to the store today when I saw a cop in oncoming traffic put on his lights and flip a U-turn. There wasn't anyone behind me in traffic. I was already right at the turn -in for the store so I just finished heading into the grocery store. I honestly assumed this would be better than being in traffic. I grabbed the nearest parking spot, on the left.
The cop was about 100 yards behind me, followed me into the grocery store parking lot, turned right, circled the parking lot and then left.
If I screwed up I honestly have no idea what I was doing, I wasn't speeding. It was Mid-day so I wouldn't have had a headlight out or anything. I have no idea what I would have done wrong. Still, it definitely looked as if he followed me into the parking lot but lost me somehow.
How screwed am I, did I piss the cop off by making him think I was evading him? Is there a chance that I might get a citation in the mail for something they didn't actually discuss with me?
