Alright, I was a little worried to post this, but I'm going to anyway. I leave my apartment for work at 5:15 AM and arrive at my workplace at 5:30. When I opened the exit door at my apartment building, (it is in an urban area) there was a 15 passenger Ford Econoline, occupied by 2, at the stop sign at the 3 way intersection beside my apartment building. I have my car parked one block away in a garage, so I had to walk over to get it, all the while the van is sitting at the stop sign, the driver smoking a cigarette, as I can see the flame. I try to think nothing of it as I get in my car and depart the garage, and sure enough as I'm pulling out of the garage they begin to follow me. They tailed me about two car lengths back, and once I got one block away from my work they got in the other lane, sped up beside me, and then took off, allowing me to see they had Federal GSA tags. I was too afraid to look at the occupants. I just wanted to let everyone know, they are out to intimidate, not harm (as of now) and apparently I overstepped my bounds.

If you were under investigation for something i'm not sure they would make it so...known.. you know?
I think they were just a couple pricks with badges to be honest. Bored, using you for practice?
But posting it on ATS is only going to get you more attention from them, especially if you randomly pop up in one of their databases for even mentioning them.

I don't know what I could have done to make them angry, upset, or whatever, but I don't know, maybe I have read something that I shouldn't have read. That's the only thing I can think.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe it wasn't an investigation but just intimidation, e.g. "look who's boss". Or they could've been using me for practice, I'm young, only 17. Perhaps they wanted to see how a teenager would react to them.
Yeah hopefully I won't disappear.

They will let it go, if you respond accordingly. Don't take that lightly. You have been warned. No big deal, yet.

Yes...I have slowed down going on conspiracy websites. Hopefully that's what they wanted. That's all I've ever done, I just think maybe there was something I saw that perhaps has since been removed, and I haven't notice d, and it wasn't for my eyes.
The sentences I left in your quote worry me a bit.

I hate when that happens.
Revealing themselves to you like that (as plain as day) is one tactic any enforcement agency will use when they are trying to deliver a message. They would like you to know that you have come to their attention and they are delivering this warning to stop what ever it is you are doing that caught their eye. They will let it go, if you respond accordingly. Don't take that lightly. You have been warned. No big deal, yet.
You said yourself maybe you overstepped your bounds... you would know best.
