I was driving thru a big street when a cop was parked on a parking lot. I passed by regular speed limits and 5 blocks later, he gained up to me quickly and pulled me over. I asked why he pulled me over. He said suspicion is allowed.

It must be suspicion of a specific crime, not generalized suspicion. Were you charged with any crime? If so, we might be able to suppress all evidence and dismiss the case. If not, I would file a complaint with his police agency. There is usually a form online or you can go to the police department and do it in person. You can also request a copy of all reports and dispatch recordings of the event. You can request dash camera evidence and lapel camera evidence. Or, you can just forget it.
