I was in my RX8 and saw a bike cop pointing his radar gun directly at me as I cruised by going 40 mph.. right with the speed limit. Due to his being so fixtated on me, he probally missed the two cars that blew by me going at least 10-15 mph over the speed limit.

I have another story also that is pretty interesting, but I better not type it out!! It goes along with the concept of don't let them pull you over!

If he followed brand new 370Z, there are other reasons he is doing it, not because of your car. Trust me, your car says there is no way I could have warrants and he knows it. My guess is you look like a criminal or something hahaha

Might also have just been appreciating it. Cops are people too, and many of them are just as enthusiastic about good rides as we are.

I think most pigs are "enthusiastic" about the revenue and tickets they generate from good rides.

I suppose they'd only be pigs to you if you aren't trying to look beyond the badge. Get to know some of them...they're not all Johnny B Bad, as some members here have even testified.

Then again, working with law enforcement...I might just be a little bit biased myself.

Beyond the badge is usually a jerk who was bullied in high school and is now trying to bully other citizens while hiding behind his badge and his authority. Beyond the badge is a revenue generating monkey for the city whose main concern is trying to squeeze every dime out of innocent motorists just because they can't abide by archaic, outdated, and often illogical speed limit (never mind that the last people to obey the speed limit are the pigs themselves, whether on or off duty). Beyond the badge is a man who has no qualms about executing an illegal search of a car and violating civil liberties, just in case he gets lucky and bolster his resume with a drug bust or two. Beyond the badge is a guy who can't resist being a jerk, and insulting or mocking people for no reason other than his own amusement.

Actually anyone here can check back on P2 where it all started...I made a comment in no way related to you....about officers appreciating cars as much as any other person...you responded with a direct quote on me about pigs and revenue...who started attacking whom first?

I had one follow me for a bit on a local road the day I bought the Z when I was driving home late from a celebratory dinner with a few friends at Ellicott Mills (a local brewpub). I am sure that he would have done the same in my old car - probably just following to see if I was drunk and returning home from the bar late Friday evening/Sat morning. I was sober and drove at the speed limit, but I am sure he probably ran my tags just to be sure.

I was really tempted to gun it yesterday on the highway because I got behind some slow poke in a Cavalier that was falling apart (hanging muffler and bumper), and I had just started to accelerate aggressively from 45 to 65 to get around him. I figured I'd push it a little more before decelerating and getting off on the next exit, then I saw a cop pull into his usual speed trap spot and I knew he was eyeing me. I quickly let off the accelerator and coasted back down to 55. I figured if he did come out and pull me over, I would use the excuse that I was passing and came right back down to speed. Luckily I did not have to talk my way out of it - he was probably waiting for the car going 25-30 mph over the limit.
