High beams should only be used in extreme darkness and only when there is no other vehicle in your opposing lane. The reason behind this is because high beams can be blinding in the opposing lane and can and have lead to very serious accidents.
Answer If your high beams were left of as on-coming traffic was approaching it would be blinding to the other driver. If you have your high beams on while in back of another car, it could also be blinding to the driver your following through side and rear view mirrors. Either way it is dangerous. If your high beams were left on constantly through - lets say a city - where lighting is good, the police officer may have determined that it was suspicious, and was checking to see if you were on alcohol or drugs.

When do you use high beams?
High beams are just higher-powered/brighter headlights, so they are used when it is dark out, but only when no other vehicles are either in front of you going the same direction or coming from the other direction in the other lane. Usually high beams are used on highways where there are no street lamps, during the late hours of the night when there is little traffic. Also, if it is foggy out, high beams won't help visibility - that's what fog lights are for. Using high beams in fog will make visibility worse.
