Yeah his eventual reason (he claims) for puling me over (after doing all the searching and questioning and stuff) was that I don't have a front license plate. Which I would've totally understood, if not for all the other crap he grilled me about. Not to mention he was driving behind me for a good bit (an intersection or two) before he flashed his lights, so I have no idea how he'd see that I didn't have a front license plate. Definitely a power trip, the cop that came for 'backup' was much cooler about it.
