You know some people have no lives. Seriously... I got followed off my exit and the guy kept honking pointing at me. Took a picture of my license plate. So what does he do, turns off real quick after I cross the light so I quickly pulled into the next street and came back around to find him trying to do a U-turn. He came past me trying to play it off. I got behind him and followed him. Took pictures of his car and license plate, wrote down his tag and car description and kept following him for a good 10 minutes. Finally I got up next to him on a turning lane.
I stare at him, take off my sunglasses and next thing I know he lowered his window and says, "Would you like me to smile for those pictures you took". I told him, well you took pictures of my car... don't take pictures of my fucking car. Then he says, "well you shouldn't drive the way you were driving you could have killed someone". I told him, "wtf are you talking about, I was stuck between cars in traffic and used my turn signal when I switched lanes". I always use my turn signals.
He then begans talking about his cousin or some shit is a FHP officer and another family member is. That he's going to report me and this and that. I said, "go ahead... i don't care but you have no right to take a picture of my license plate". I told him, "two can play that game... I have a description of your car right here and your plate number". He then says, "why, I didn't do anything wrong". I told him, "yeah you were driving like a wreckless dumbass". He says, "No, I wasn't... I didn't do anything". I told him, "If I was driving wreckless then so were you to be able to catch up to me". He then says, "well I gotta do what I gotta do". I tell him, "same here... see ya!".
Got home, called the LE office and reported and asked questions. The officer told me nothing will happen. They get calls like that and nothing happens unless an officer actually catches the individual doing it. He said, if you make it home before they find you... then its all he said/she said. If they did find you and your driving fine then it would have been ignored as well. So regardless I got home and took care of the situation before this guy did.
End story...
My opinion...
Seriously... if I was driving wreckless I would have seen him dodging cars trying to catch me. Obviously I wasn't doing that in close bumper to bumper traffic. Plus to top it off... he was in a 4 door Honda Civic LX 96-98 STOCK... no way he would be close to catching me if I was driving wreckless/speeding.
What a complete idiot! How old was this person? First time I heard of someone doing that. If you do see someone driving really bad on the road a simple phone call would do; there is NO need to take pictures of someone else's car unless you're involved in an accident with that car.

This guy had to be in his mid 30's but acted more like immature people around my age group that don't know how to act. I've been followed before but nothing like this. I've also had someone call the cops before on me to say I was wreckless driving. LEO came on the highway... saw me in one lane not doing anything wrong. I didn't even notice him till he got behind me and turned on his lights. Pulled me over, let me know the situation that somone called saying I was driving wreckless. He tells me, be safe and continue being a safe driver and have a nice day. I think people see some modified car and report bs reports. So its not the first for me on this, but its the first I get followed and harrassed at the sametime to then even take a picture of my tag.

Time to change my tag
Get use to it! There are so many haters it's not even funny!! You remember that crap that went on Tampa racing, I belive you called me a douche The guy made up a story about me driving like an idiot and his wife followed me all the way home to confront me! This was the same guy that gave me the thumbs down in his geo storm when he saw me in the turning lane?? Then posted B.S.! I sent him a pm telling him his wife has some serious balls to follow a black guy all the way from Palm Harbor to Spring Hill

yeah I remember, I did call you a douche. I didn't know you at the time lol nor knew it was you until Tony told me something. I didn't hear the two sides of the story. But noticed I flipped it once I found out factual information and attacked the guy that said all those things about you. Sorry for calling you a douche... your a TOOL now
