Or is there a huge double standard? Obviously he'd try to say you did it on purpose- but would that matter once the rest of the cops show up? I've never heard of someone getting rear ended and being at fault. Proving a "swoop and squat" is near impossible.. what would happen? I agree with you though, if he tried to give a ticket for a "brake warning," id be pissed too.

Regarding brake checking a cop, my friend got rear ended by a cop once...it wasn't even a brake check.. he was sitting at a light and the cop for whatever reason didn't stop in time and bumped him... so the first thing my friend did was call 911 to have a different cop come out... too bad the cops obviously knew each other and said the cop's bar lights were on so it's his fault for not getting out of the way... even though his light's weren't on, and my friend was sitting at a red light, where could he possibly go? he ended up paying some tiny fine in court and it was over... he said he would've fought it if it had points or a higher fine... but it wasn't worth fighting over... one more reason I'm not a fan of cops, especially in my area, they're REALLY crooked
