I like to think I would have hopped over the bar and intervened on the bartenders behalf.

I find the side dicussion interesting about pulling over for the police on dimly lit isolated roads. I can certainly see the concern from the perspective of impersonators. I can see where this would add a lot of stress to the officer's siuation too.

My only thought is if you are not going to pull over, try to make sure the officer knows what you're doing. Slow down, turn on flashers, turn on dome light, call 911 and explain in detail to the dispatcher who you are, where you are, and tell them you need confirmation of the LEO following you. Then find a lighted populated spot ASAP.

FYI...
