Cop wants to race?

Some cops here would pull you over just to look and hear your car lol, they're.cool though.

About a month ago I was at a stoplight waiting to get onto an onramp to a highway, and in front of me was a blacked out Charger. When the light turned green, he peeled out and went flying up onto the highway. I got onto the highway at a normal speed, and once I got on, he slowed down in the passing lane and made me come up beside him (I kept going the speed limit). He revved it a few times, jumping ahead, then slowing down, and then floored it and took off. A few seconds later, my radar detector lit up full bars. Considering he was the only one on the highway and cops like Chargers, I'm pretty sure it was an unmarked trying to get me to race, and he flipped on his radar to see if I took the bait. Thought it was odd he completely went out his way to try to get me to do something.. So yeah, to OP, I don't doubt it one bit he was trying to do the same to you.

it was a drug seizure and yes taxpayers freaked out when they said they were going to put the car into service instead of auctioning it.

had a NC state highway patrol supervisor do that to me. i passed a car on the right that was poking *** in the fast lane(about 10mph under the speedlimit) and i didn't notice it was a cop till i saw the silver stripe on the side. i might have been doing 5 over but he mashed his brakes hard and got in behind me and lit me up. when he got up along me first thing he said was "man this is a nice car" and gave me a verbal warning while him and another cop checked out the Z.

cant stand guys like that, big double stanards asses. I would sneak and follow and record them and then put it on the internet.

If you're zoomin passed them, they'd stop you. If your going about 5-10 above probably not.1 because your driving a really nice car and they think you could afford the ticket, plus too much paperwork. I always go 10 past them. I'm not afraid.

I Got Pulled over the 1st day i bought my 370 on 1/9/10.. & i was going 50 ON 60 speed limit... y he pulled me over... no reason?? he just asked me how u like it & said i bet it's fastt.. & then let me go.. LOL....

I moved to DE in Aug and commute to MD daily. I noticed a blacked out mustang in the center "utility" road that connects the north and south bound lanes of I95. At first I thought it was the same douche trying to avoid a toll or something but then I saw him with someone pulled over. So MD troopers have a blacked out stang.

On another note, I was pulled over on 95 last friday doing 81 in a 65. My honest excuse was a Prius merged on and got right in the center lane so I maneuvered around him and may have laid into the pedal a tad whilst doing this. I didn't bother explaining this to him but my 2 NJ PBA cards and he saw my DoD ID and let me go with a warning. I was very appreciative for that!

P.S. he did say "370??? I've seen 350s but never a 370" LOL

Next time one of the Nation's Finest tries to "trick" you into that...just fall in behind him (don't tailgate) and dial 911. Tell the dispatcher you're following a possible DUI...some guy driving crazy. Give the tag number and tell them you'll stay on the line with them till an officer catches up and gets him pulled over and checked out...that could be fun.

Oh, if it is against the law to use your phone while driving don't do that...

entrapment!!!

There was an STi that was driving around the IE here in SoCal a few years ago that was an undercover cop car.

He would rev on people trying to get them to race him LOL
