Followed by cops all the time

shesha · 06-22-2009, 04:31 PM

I work by LAX, and anytime I am driving to and from work, I get these real jerk off cops, who just follow me until I arrive at work.

They literally follow me till I get to the parking structure, and sit there for a second to watch me swipe my card, like I was trying to ditch them and pulled into the parking as a plan!

Sick of it man. Im 32 and I still get treated like a punk!
With my Tints being removed last week end, I think I have decided not to get any tints done. I get way to much heat from the police, and I don't want to give them any reason to pull me over.

What's wrong with having your own police escort going to/from work?

That's what I was thinking. It would be nice!

Don't let them harass you. Assuming everything is legal (re: you and the car at the time), when it gets to the ridiculously obvious point, just pull over to the side of the road, roll down the window, and wait. Either they'll leave, or they'll approach and you can ask them why they're harassing you. They'll get tired of this game quickly.

Damn, I'd be scared to do that in front of LAPD.

That's what they're shooting for, scaring you into submission. Don't let them. If you're not doing anything illegal, there's no reason for them to be harassing you on the road.

And yes, a cop following someone around for no real reason is harassment. Everyone, regardless of legal status, watches the cop in the rear view, gets nervous, gets distracted, etc. This leads to driver mistakes (which is what the cop is hoping for, to induce a ticket-able offense), and could even result in an accident.

Just remember to be courteous when you confront them, and keep that lawyer on speed dial

Funny thing could be the cop drives that way to/from work. I don't know about LA, but cops around here take their cruisers home.

that's EXACTLY what I would do. 2nd choice, get the car number and call up the station and ask to file a complaint.

I see no downside to having a police escort every day. Look at Obama!

edeeZee · 06-22-2009, 05:12 PM

It bet it's because ricers or kids speed through that tunnel all the time. I used work near there, and I literally saw those "rentacops" or quasi-LAPD pull people over from that turn off the 105 W merging onto Sepulveda. People don't take that red light seriously.

Maybe they just like the way the z looks from the rear, i know i do.
