In that video, the officer was abusing his authority. He lit up the car just to move him out of his way. LEGALLY, the other driver was doing nothing wrong. The officer is there to enforce the law, not his personal opinion on driving etiquette.
Of course the car was going to go slow, if YOU see a cop tailgating you, do YOU go faster??
No you don't.

I know plenty of states where YES it was illegal of that car to be traveling in that lane under the speed limit.
And if I'm doing under the speed limit (rare) YES I would speed up.
The driver of that car might be lucky they didn't get a ticket.
There are traveling lanes and a passing lane. It's universal. If you are not passing someone or will be almost immediately, you should be in the traveling lane.
And yes it's illegal in plenty of states.
