If everything said so far is truthful, speeding up a little to let the jerk by shouldn't be a reason to throw the book at him. The more I think about how it went down, the more it seems like it was entrapment with the Charger being cop #2.
Some people may find this hard to believe but law enforcement actually do lie sometimes. I posted a few months back in here how I got pulled over for speeding. I got in my car with a pile of takeout food and watched a cop sitting in an
adjacent parking lot sitting there waiting. I watched him pull out after me as I very carefully watched my speed pulling out and the next mile I drove to not go over even 1 mph since it was clear what he was going to do. Then, the liar,
pulled me over saying I was speeding. Not even getting into all the other details of what happened in him looking for other things to find I did wrong, he then said he had another call to get to and rushed off letting me go.
There are bad apples that work as grocery baggers, hair dressers, garbage men, and certainly there are some that work in law enforcement. They just get a pass most of the time as grouchy or "seasoned" verterans that have been through
it all and firing a cop for doing a poor job/being a jerk is like getting a President impeached. I totally believe the OP and think he was either railroaded here on purpose or that cop just really sucks at his job.

Every person that get's pulled over says the cop was wrong for some reason. It is human nature.
If the cops have managed to start using Fast and Furious movie logic and suspension of disbelief to be able to pull off opposite direction, high speed bait and traps you guys are all fucked. The only way that the trap would have worked is if every other car on the road was also a cop in on the whole thing so that they could regulate the speed of traffic and force the events. This is highly improbable.
We have not and will not hear the cop's version of what he saw so can not judge him.
