You're lucky its only happened to you once. I've had the police visit me 4 times. Everytime the police come to visit me I miss my subject, the trains. The first encounter I had, there was a train that was just waiting for the dispatcher to give him a signal and when the cop pulled up and started talking to me, the conductor yelled out the window, "He's just taking pictures" and then the cop left. The second time, they cop just asked me questions and then left. The third time, I was next to a railroad crossing that I often visit and the cop didn't belive that someone could find train interesting enough to spend hours standing next to the tracks taking pictures of them. He ended up asking me for my name, age, DOB, height, weight, hair color, eye color, home address, home phone number, Social Security Number, and a website where I posted my pictures. The fourth time really wasn't that bad, the cop originally thought that I was stranded (the place where I take pictures is a dirt patch next to an intersection). I told him I wasn't and explained what I was doing and that this had happened before. He left after a couple minutes.
If they're actually scared, they would just avoid the encounter altogether. It's more of a standard procedure to keep things in-check. It's their job to watch over suspicious activities. Of course they do that in spite of the exceptions like photographers taking photos of night scenes, because it's convenient and effective.
