5 miles of being tailgated... then the driver complains of being filmed!

This one happened back on the 18th March but I've been waiting following it being reported to Derbyshire Constabulary in the vague hope they might take an interest.
The footage runs for around 8 minutes showing us travelling at up to 50mph with the driver of AV57 WUX remaining immediately behind as we travelled at the posted speed limit. He even flashes his lights on the run up to the A50 roundabout but makes no attempt to overtake there even though the lane is clear.
The driver followed us all the way to our destination, pulls up behind us and has the nerve to open my door and complain about being filmed! If he wasn't driving so obnoxiously he would not have been of any interest.
This was logged as Crime Number 105/180311 with Derbyshire Constabulary. This was after trying to report this incident to the nearest police station (Cotton Road) which was still closed at 0715. An appointment was made to report the incident at Swadlincote station on Saturday but before that we received a phone call and details were taken over the phone. We have heard nothing since. The police have not contacted us to get a copy of the video, which has been sat on a DVD waiting for them.
