Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - Law enforcement using drones for traffic control?

At about 16:30 today I was driving southbound on Interstate 15 from Las Vegas to San Bernardino. I was about 30 minutes inside of California and in the middle of nowhere. A semi-tractor with trailer passed me on the left and then got in front of me in my lane. No big deal except that when he was about 100 meters further I noticed a drone flying above and to the side of the truck. It was keeping up with the truck and I watched it until it was too far to see. Now I can't figure out if someone inside the truck was flying the drone of if somebody else was trying to gauge the speed of the truck with the drone. Maybe someone was watching the truck for other reasons? Has anybody noticed anything like this in other states? Any ideas?
