A Similar thing happened to me in Australia. I was visiting a friend in another city. Since I was unfamiliar with the route I was driving a bit slowly (about 5 to 10 km under limit) looking for my turn off. An (unmarked) car was behind me. There were two lanes of traffic. The car sat on my tail so I slowed down further to let them pass. Nothing they continued to sit on my tail so I sped up again. As soon as I sped up siren comes on I get pulled over 'for driving erratically'. The police officer asked to see my license. It shows my address listed as a different city and she accepts my explanation of being unfamiliar with the road and lets me go.

It felt like entrapment at the time tailing someone with the intent to pull them over.

Around here Police shootings are rare. The exception is one of our states, Victoria. It has kind of turned into a bit of joke on the media - "don't go to Victoria or you'll get shot by the police" sort of thing.
