 not if you were breaking the law both times............in order to be able
to pursue harrassment it would have to be very repetitive over time.....
twice does not make any case against him...it just makes the case that you
were doing something that warranted pulling you over twice.........

You could have gotten busted for driving a vehicle with faulty
equipment.........thats a citation in my state........

Pacing is just as legal a method for busting speeders as any other........at
least in my state.........also, jammers are illegal in my stae and many
others........you're lucky he either a)didnt notice or b) decided to be kool
about it and let you go...........In any regards, feel lucky that you have
gotten off twice and dont try for the third....that one's always the
charmer..........

I always wondered, though, as to why I can be zipping along at 70 in a 55
along with 10 other folks and I'm the one that gets stopped..........just
dumb luck, I s'pose...........
