No, it is AGAINST THE LAW to pursue people who don't pull over, unless they have warrants for them or they pose an IMMINENT THREAT (as in, they were just engaged in a shootout).If she did in fact commit the offense of running from him, then it's time for him to pursue and arrest her -- not before she commits the offense. He has no business detaining people on the basis of his presumptive suspicions. Just because a lot of cops are exceeding their authority and getting away with it doesn't mean it's legal.I can understand his suspicion that she might try and make a run for it.

No it's not. It's against the law to resist arrest by running from the cops. For that matter, I'd say someone that is running from the cops and is doing so at high rates of speed is an imminent threat to others on the road.
If you don't want the cops saying something to you, don't give them a reason. I can say I've never been questioned by the cops for that very reason.
