Default strange encounter

Hey everyone, so I was on my way home from work and I was going up to Lowe's foods to get some milk and from my work to the Lowe's foods is about a 10 to 15 minute drive depending on if I make it through traffic lights or not. Well as I pulled out of my work I noticed a cop pull in behind me which really is not that strange, being in a fairly large town/city there are a decent amount of cops out now and again. Well on the way to the Lowe's foods I noticed he was still behind me, which at this point having a cop follow you for 5 minutes or so is kind of nerve wrecking even when you know you aren't doing anything wrong. I was just making sure I was driving perfect lol. When I pulled into the Lowe's foods and saw him turn in with me I kinda thought I may be in trouble or something, I was thinking maybe my tail light was out. After I parked he pulled up next to me an told me I had an absolutely gorgeous car. I told him I appreciated it and I told him he had a nice one as well, he had the charger, we both laughed and then he went on his way. After he left I think I had the biggest sigh of relief I think I have ever had haha. Has anyone else had an encounter like this where someone followed you just to tell you that you had a nice car?

A week or so after getting the window tint on my 06, I was pulled off in a lot taking some pictures of the car and a city cop rolls by down the road. Not even two minutes later, he rolls by again, turns into the lot I was in and slowly rolls up behind and next to me and stops. Now, my windows were rolled up and the tint was so obvious so I figured he was going to be a douche about it and write me up for the tint. So, I look over at him and he yells "that's a really nice car you got there, looks great" and I responded with a "thanks" and we ended up talking for about five minutes.

Late last year, Ann Arbor Police caught me with the windows up, followed me into a parking lot and stopped me. I was approached by two officers, one on each side of the car. The officer gave the same old window tint spiel but was cool about it and told me the car looked very nice and all. I'm certain they were profiling as he just gave me a warning for it.

While I was driving back on post, I had to go through one of the installation's gates and I had to stop and show I.D. The police civilian or military will stop folks to check their cars. One guy gave my car a lengthy look around and he asked me what year it was. I told him and he was shocked that a 2006 Monte could look so nice.
