Question about police parked on the side of the road at night

I had a highway patrolman shine a light at me in the opposite lane headed right at me. I locked up the brakes and hit the shoulder of the road. He, of course, turned around with the whole Christmas tree lit up. I told him, nicely, that if he had blinded me and i hit someone head on because of his stupid action, that I might be dead but all survivors would be attached to his retirement. We both realized I was right , thank god, cause we were miles from anything and I鈥檓 sure he knew where to hide the bodies. He turned out to be a cool guy and I made it home with no ticket, water tight and all my teeth.聽

I had a cop years ago shine his spotlight at me. He was following me. Blinded the crap out of me. I had a 1,000,000 candle power rechargeable spotlight in the floorboard and shined it right back at him. It's a dang wonder I didn't go to jail. He just turned his off and passed me.聽

I'd guess they're fishing but curious to see what folks report back who know cops or are cops.聽

When people speeding see a cop car by the side of the road, they generally slow down for a bit. Could be that's the goal too
