I pulled out of a driveway and did not see any cars coming. As soon as I pulled out I saw 2 bright lights in my rear view mirror. The car, actually, SUV, was right on top of my car. The driver started honking his horn repeatedly and continuously flashed his brights. I sped up to the speed limit but he stayed right on me honking and flashing. This continued for 2 1/2 blocks. Finally, I decided to tap on my break to get him to back off. He did and backed up. A few seconds later, for no apparent reason, he continued his attack. Another 2 blocks of the same and I hit the breaks hard and was going to pull over to let him go by. He maneuvered around me and opened his passenger window. He was in uniform and yelled for me to pull over. I didn't know what to think of it so I slowed down and he drove in front of me and pinned me in with his SUV. He got out of his car yelling at me telling me that I tried to make him crash and he was going to put 6 points worth of tickets on my license. I told him that he was flashing me, tail gating and harassing me with his vehicle and that it was an accident that I cut him off because I did not see him. He did not care about any of this. He looked down and saw my PBA card in my wallet and told me to give it to him. He crumbled it up a few inches from my face and told me that he had 48 hours to decide if he was going to ticket me. He got back in his car and I left.
I feel like I should report this officer. He is from my town. Any suggestions about this situation? I feel that he abused his authority while off-duty.
