juan05 · 08-15-2009, 03:45 PM

I was going a bit too fast on the highway the other day and a trooper jumped in behind me right on my tail as I was trying to slow down. I could see he was running my plates and looking down, so I jumped off the highway as I was passing an exit and he missed the turn off

. One problem I noticed is that when the cops do their tailgating maneuver to read your plate and pressure you, you can't see their lights in the rear view mirrors. I was freaking out thinking his lights were on and I wasn't pulling over!

At least 2 times a week I pull a State Patrol out of their hiding places. I'm always +4, +5 mph relative to the posted limit with the cruise control on. No tickets yet....lucky I guess.

By all means don't let "them" stop you!

Sorry for the bad explanation of what happens if you decide to run from the police.

That happened to me 7 years ago. Sheriff was right on my bumper. I could not see his head lights. Scares the hell out of you! If he can't read a license plate from 50 feet, then he shouldn't be employed to carry a gun!

Just yesterday I was leaving my house and heading down the street.. my car's a bit on the loud side and this cop was standing outside of his car checking out a downed stop sign and then he turns to look at me coming up to the stop on the other side.. walks out into the street toward me (like he's gonna wave me over) and slowly takes off his sunglasses..

I was like...

So I revved it at the stop sign once and rolled out and as I passed him (he was standing about 10 feet from my car) I soluted him....

Hahahaha.... stupid ***

It looked like he started to his car but I couldn't tell... I put the pedal down and took a different, very curvy route down the hill.

I guess you showed him killerbee!

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.
