I would much rather have a bullet hole in my ceiling, giving away my position, than climbing out the window.

When they flash you the cherries you are supposed to pull over. That you didn't gave them hesitation to believe that you were up to something. My guess is your car and description matched someone that they were looking for, probably an armed robber based on their questions about your hat and gloves.
Live and learn, next time they flash you with the lights pull over immediately.

I don't mind replying so he can show his true colors. I still am getting a kick out of the "coward coward coward" bit. My fiancee would get a kick out of it since we both are avid gun owners. We love target shooting. One of my few hobbies that actually relieves stress.
Have you ever been in a life threatening situation cuz I feel that you have not. There is not all this time to debate should i do this, this or this.
It goes like this:
for simplicity this if you are alone in the house.
step one: grab lock box where gun is and take cover in safe place. If a cordless is on the way or convienient grab that also.
step two: Arm weapon.
step three: make the intruder know you know they are there, this can be done in many ways but the one that gets the best response is a warning shot
step four: while taking cover in the secure position you chose call 911.
step 5: wait and see what happens next.....If the cops come b4 he approaches your position of saftey then great...if they dont and the intruder proceeds to come into view then put his brains all over the place.
Running away isnt always wise as the intruder wont think twice about shooting a potential witness in the back while they are trying to escape.
The intruder is in go all out mode cuz he is going to jail for life or he isnt. He has nothing to lose you do. He needs to be neutralized and for that you need to show him that you dont have a problem dumping your clip off in his chest.

I had a cop tailgate me before...
Basically, he caught me on radar (or so he said at the time but I never asked for proof) and then pursued me without his lights or anything on. When he caught up to me, he proceeded to tailgate me and see what I did. Naturally, since he had those retarded lights that are uber bright, I sped up to get some room between our cars. When I sped up, he flipped on his lights and I pulled over. (It was dark so I didn't know it was a cop car until he flipped on his lights). After pulling me over, he waited forever to come up to my car, I was starting to think he had forgotten about me or something. So then when he gets there, he starts questioning why I sped up. I just told him that I felt uncomfortable with someone tailgating me, so I sped up. He then told me never to do that again because it isn't a valid reason and then ticketed me. Shrug, I didn't have any problem with the ticket, I just felt that was a very shady way of giving me one. I mean, I thought cops were supposed to use lights/siren when in pursuit and not tailgate the person once they caught up.
I was also of the understanding that cops flicker their lights to tell you to get out of the way. Not when they want to pull you over. When they want to pull you over, they put the lights on consistently.
Sometimes police have some weird methods of getting their job done, but, like someone else said, they are just humans and arn't perfect.

when people speak maliciously abuot you it is the highest form of flattery, it is there way of dealing with the fact that they know they cannot cope or compete with you.
Much like how you talk about cops?

first off, cops cannot tailgate you from a foot behind your vehicle. they have to obey the same traffic laws as everyone else when there lights aren't flashing (i've been told this by 2 separate police officers)
you should immediately ask the cop after being pulled what you are being pulled over. this is to ensure that they have a valid reason and not something they can make up later. they must always give you their badge number when asked.
you don't have to answer any questions. but remember that they will treat you like tihs if you don't. its unfair but unless you have lotsa money to fight this in court...

Where do you live? In the Magical Kingdom of OZ? Where I live, the cops can pretty much do anything they want and very often they do.

I live in Montreal, Canada. Over here, although you do require college-level education to become a cop, they usually aren't too smart. Fortunately they're not stupid enough to try and pull someone over for no reason.
And there's a few things that most people don't know (I dunno if it's the same everywhere, but it is here)
1. If a cop wants to ask you questions or even talk to you, he HAS to get out of his car. If he stays in his car and drives up to you to talk, you can ignore him.
2. If a cop isn't wearing his ENTIRE uniform (including his hat), he has no right to arrest you or question you.
Generally, when you point out that they're breaking one of those rules, they tend to leave you alone.
