for following me onto a mates property, then also following me up the frosty grass hill, spinning your wheels the way up. I really appreciate that you went so far out of your way to tell me that the roads are icy (hadn't rained in a couple days though), just as I reached my destination. Hopefully the grass recovers.
I think what caught his eye was going around the corner at the speed limit, or slightly above (he didn't have radar). I knew the corner was all good because I had just been around it. He didn't even breath test me or ask for name or licence.

I can honestly say there is nothing to add. Around the corner at 50-55km/h once speedo error taken into account, it was immediately after that he turned around and followed me around the block to my destination, then skidded up the lawn!

my point! Why did he go to the effort to follow and tell me that the roads are icy, when they weren't, at the completion of my journey when the information would no longer be relevant. At the same time driving all over a friends lawn causing unnecessary damage to it. It would have made my day if he slid into the row of trees at the bottom of the slope. There was absolutely no reason for him to leave the driveway.

Were you driving an old Morrie!
Maybe he was concerned you were a stubborn and very elderly person, driving around in an old British "icon".

If he followed you up a 'frosty' lawn then its likley roads were not exactly dry summer conditions. He 'followed' you, so he was meant to know it was only OK for you to drive on the frosty lawn! Sounds like your driving caught his attention in slippery conditions, he was following you to see if you had been drinking, discovered not, left you in peace, job well done.

The police can do anything they want really so too bad about your mates lawn. He probably drove up to check you out and when he was satisfied you weren't drunk or carrying narcotics he gave you a warning about ice and went on his way, suck it up and consider yourself lucky.

If I were to drive in to a park and do skids, I would recieve a wilful damage charge.Yet the cops allowed to go skid up your lawn!
I followed a cop the other day who turned several corners never once using his indicators.
Yep, one law for them and one for us. Wish I had of joined the police force when I was younger. The fun I could have had. *place evil grin here*

and here'sPART 11 of the story :your well known in the community and the police as being a" RACER " shagging around with your old rice rockets cars and testing them up and down the quiet country roads terrorizing the local populous the cop saw you come round the cnr slightly( probably totally ) crossed upyeah !he wanted to nail your arse to the wall so bad he gave chase, after he came close to swapping ends on your grass he figured you'd have an alibi !but i bet you he was pleased with himself that he'd scuffed up ya lawn something like that, yes!

the Force up here recently got their in car "Smart systems". By the time you pull over , they have run your plates, know your history, any outstanding issues and even have your photo on screen, all while mobile. May the Force be with you. No longer does it have to go to Police Communications , over the radio system.

Maybe he wasn't a real cop. There are guys pulling people over and giving them warnings and when you ask for ID, they can't produce it. I got 'pulled over' on the motorway once because he didn't like my merging. (driving for 33 years and never had an accident). I reported him to police and he got prosecuted for impersonating a police officer.
