Incidentally I can see how the cop could think it might have been a deliberate attempt to drift. Except I never drifted. Perhaps the modified car induced a bias that he has.
First, I took the left turn fairly quick giving that impression, but that was in order to make the green light. My car is more capable of sharp cornering than a police cruiser and perfectly safe.
Then, momentary wheel spin when I straightened out from the turn. But that was me with a supercharged car accelerating to highway speed. I didnt know or expect any loss of traction and it wasn't deliberate at all. Maybe just a random incident, maybe cooler temperature or gravel on the road. I misjudged slightly so traction broke. Not the same as "performing a stunt".
To the cop, any car that is capable of cornering sharply, especially modified, might be doing stunts when it's just the athleticism of the car. And occasionally athletes misstep, unintentionally.
It could be taken as a deliberate quick corner followed by throttle in order to keep spinning except I didnt and couldnt keep spinning, the accidental and unexpected wheelspin was only a second anyway due to stability control. It happened, he saw it and saw an opportunity.
