Approaching end of a side street to an intersection of a main road. Cop is turning right, down onto said side street, I'm turning right off of side street onto main road.
Cop flips a bitch, gets close to my bumper.
Cop turns right with me, follows me for a good 200 feet, then makes an illegal u-turn and continues back down the street he came from, wtf.

I'm sure that it varies by state... but generally U-turns, if performed in a safe manner, are completely legal unless it's on the interstate.

Running your plates. A lot of times they'll pull you over just to see if you've got warrants or are ridin dirty.

Take note of the Squad car number, call the police dept and file a complaint. What you describes falls under entrapment, also they are required to follow all traffic laws. Secondly, not sure about your state but in PA if a cop does that he is REQUIRED to pull you over and issue you a citation. Failure to do so could end in suspension or worse (meter maid or crossing guard duty)

Has happened to me many times but it is usually on the freeway. They come swerving across multiple lanes and ride my bumper so close it is beyond dangerous. Of course they usually pull me over... eventually.
I had so many speeding tickets for a while I was afraid they might pull my license. I haven't had any tickets at all since I got my prius.

Or...
Pris drives a car similar to one that they were looking for.
Flip around, check plates, go back the other way(and as I said before... depending on the state u-turns are not always illegal).
And in PA an officer is required to pull you over if he does what? Gets close and checks your plates?
What kind of stupid law is that?

Its not a civil law, but it is one of the rules they have to follow. Basically its there to keep police officers from attempting to intimidate drivers into doing something illegal. Just as I'm not allowed to pull out my handcuffs off my belt in front of an inmate. Its not "against the law" but it WILL get me suspended for intimidation.

A majority of states, it's illegal to just make random u-turns Chogram.
Indiana is one of the few that allow it. Some don't allow any, others allow them in certain areas.

From the CA drivers handbook
Illegal U-Turns
Never make a U-turn:
At or on a railroad crossing.
On a divided highway by crossing a dividing section, curb, strip of land, or two sets of double yellow lines.
Where you cannot see clearly 200 feet in each direction because of a curve, hill, rain, fog, or other reason.
Where a "No U-Turn" sign is posted.
When other vehicles may hit you.
On a one-way street.
In front of a fire station. Never use a fire station driveway to turn your vehicle around.
In business districts. Areas with churches, apartments, multiple dwelling houses, clubs, and public buildings (except schools) are also considered to be business districts. Turn only at an intersection, unless a sign prohibits it, or where openings are provided for turns.
it's just a normal two lane road he turned on.
I don't care, really, but I do like to mentally note every time I see a cop break a traffic law.

This is true here too. Break-ins barely get attention in my suburb.
However, in my neighborhood, we have cops all over the place. Police Chief lives two doors down, and the County Sheriff lives across the street. If anything happens, we'll have cops ripping apart the neighborhood.
Three weeks ago, someone called in a suspicious car parked in front of their house. 5 cop cars showed up in 5 minutes. The dude was trying to get his GPS to work so he could find his way home. lol.

I got pulled over the other day for racing, which carries the same penalties as driving under the influence. Cop informed me that it's punishable by up to a year in jail, loss of license, and a pretty hefty fine.
I didn't even get a written warning.

After getting one ticket a week every week for 6 months from the same cop my brother filed a complaint the deptment actually investigated and told the cop and my brother " if this officer pulls you over call dispatch dont even talk to the officer and get the shift supervisor" my brother has never even seen the cop since then some cops are just pricks.
A freind of mine was a cop he left the force his reasoning "because 80% of the training is to teach us to be arrogant pricks and treat people like scum"
