Cop wants to race?

Rhinetom · 10-28-2010, 08:43 AM

Crazy situation this morning on the way to work. Twice while stopped at traffic lights, an unmarked Police Cruiser next to me “chirped” his tires as the light turned green only to slow down to the posted 40 mph limit. I let him go by and found it quite amusing. He later hit his lights and spun around to brighten someone else’s morning. Lastly, at no time did my radar detector go off. All kind of funny and weird.

Haha... probably having a good time. I know some cops will beat on their cars pretty hard because they don't have to pay for them.

We do, though.

Not quite as exciting, but this morning I watched a Maid Cleaning Services Toyota Sienna peel out at a light.

He was trying to set you up!

You should have pulled him over and did a citizen's arrest for laying drag...then went all Reno 911 on him for "resiting arrest".

around here the sheriff's dept has a blacked out zo6 that they try to "entrap" street racers with.

My friends who live in Arkansas in a small town told me the cops would line 'em up and run each other late at night/early AM.

First month of having my Z, the wife and I were sitting at a light with a minivan full of elderly ladies who were revving their engine and had the windows down trying to egg me into lighting up the tires when the light turned green. I couldn't stop laughing long enough to comply with their request.

Careful, my grandparent's minivan would run 15's stock according to Road/Track.

I know it won't take out a new Z, but that could shock a few older Civic's, etc. lol

Correct. It's just general police douchebaggery.

kenchan · 10-28-2010, 10:36 AM

there was a cop that gave me a thumbs up when we both accelerated in a moderately fastly motion...

kenchan · 10-28-2010, 10:41 AM

..but then there was a trooper that used its megaphone while driving in my blind spot telling me to pay attention to what's going on around me... (wasn't speeding but did kinda blast into the expressway)

i knew he was there from the get go but pretended like i just landed from Japan...

hai, ichi ni san. i like sukiyaki and teriyaki and...

he liked that.
