I suspect he *could* pull you over... if he felt like it. He flips his
lights on and pulls in behind you... whadaya gonna do, ignore him?

My best guess is most out-of-state cops are on some type administrative
assignment and, if you were weaving or otherwise appeared dangerous he
could pull you over and "911" a local LEO with authority to the scene,
sign a complaint and be on his way in 30 minutes.
