haha

well, i guess the ticket in some way "helped" me...i no longer am as reckless as i was before on the roads

"live and learn" i guess..


ps. would he be considered harassing me if he just followed me? i mean, he did not pull me over for no reason

What a dip ****.

I have an interesting copper experience..

A few weeks ago, my friends and I were on the way back from an In n Out burger; 4 of us total, me and my buddy in mine and the other two in another. We were kinda in a hurry because LOST was going to start in 10 minutes, and we could make it just in time if we did some fancy driving. So when we pull out of the parking lot, I slowly begin to accelerate.. not trying to waste gas, and our other friends are waiting at the signal. The light flips green as I'm slowing down and I gun it... RIGHT when I saw a cop, so I let go of the pedal, kicking up my RPMs to 4K and my exhaust lets out a huge winding growl. Didn't take off or anything, just made a huge scene busting through the intersection at.. what 20MPH in a 45MPH zone with an overpowering grunt.

So I speed up regularly and nail the limit.. then I see the cop take off after me. I KNOW he's not going to give me a ticket, haven't done wrong. He snaps on my ***, and tails me for a few seconds, then pulls off to my right. I watch him in the corner of my eye, hoping for him to pass so that I can match his speed without him dropping back behind me.... but he doesn't. Before I know it, he's right on my rear again. I check my speed, I'm going 50MPH.. whoops. He jumps over the right lane again, obviously waiting for me to do something wrong, and begins shining his light into my car as he passes. Checking our seat belts I presumed. My friend just gives him a goofy smile. Then he sped off and changed into my lane. AHA! But there was yellow light up ahead. My friend goes, "Oh thank god he's in front of us.. Now we don't have to look at him at the light." I wanted to show this cop that he doesn't intimidate me.. so I pulled over to the right lane at the last moment. I turned to look at him, waved, and smiled! He wasn't alone, had a partner.. gave me this "WTF" look and looked at my car all the while my friend screamed, "WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING?!!!"

Light hit green, and he was off. I matched his speed and let him go about 2 cars infront and 60MPH in a 50MPH zone. Then another yellow light, but this time the cop gets into the left turn lane, and I was still in the right turn lane with a few other cars already there... but whatya know? The left lane is empty! So I pulled into the left lane, right next to senior coppah, and starting laughing my *** off as my friend goes, "HOLY **** JON! WHAT THE CRAP MAN?!" Light turned green, cop turned left, I speed off like a bat outta hell.

No tickets for me! Well.. yet.

Onw time I pulled over a cop. I was young, maybe around your age. I was driving a '70 Chevelle SS 396(never should have gotten rid of that car!). Anyways, this cop starts following me and was riding my ***. After about a mile I pulled over and so does he. We both get out and before he could say anything I said "don't you think you were following a little close?" he's like wtf? Then i said, "you need to either pull me over or back off!". He gets pissed and tells me he could arrest me if he wants. I tell him to go for it, I'll explain to his boss what was going on. Then he starts in about me having an attitude(which I did, heh) and tells me he was running my license plate. I told him he wasn't following at a safe distance. He said a little more and we parted ways. Dude had a porno mustache and an attitude worse than me. I don't suggest that you do this today, i don't know what they would do. At the time i didn't care.

chrisc

lol i would have gotten out and would been... looking around for something wrong with the rear end of mycar.. and if had pulled over too, and got out.. i woulda been like.. "is my tire flat or something?? then continue on.. i figure something was wrong because you were following me?"

just like how people stare ... lol i tell them straight up... is there something on my face? and not to be a dick about it.. i ll be like food? sauce?

Trill Gear Head

If I were you, as soon as I realized he actually pulled me over in the 50 mph zone, I'd have put on my hazards and pulled over. As a public servant, he would have to stop and see if anything was wrong. At this point (not being pulled over), I would simply bring up the point. Saying "this is where you pulled me over for doing 55... yet it's a 60 mph zone. Also, you're following me at an unsafe distance for no apparant reason. Could you please explain this behavior to me?" That's just me, though.

I also have a funny story...

When I was stationed at Andrews AFB as an airman, we always followed the posted base speed limit (lots of kids in the area). Anyway, every day a state trooper would land his helicopter on the base, then hop into a cruiser and leave the base. Not sure why they landed at Andrews, but it really doesn't matter. These guys would streak through the base at 45-50 mph in a 25 mph zone. Well, one day... I got sick of it. I followed the guy to a little pullover area where you could drop mail in a mail box. I got out of my car, and said: "You really need to slow down. Every day I put on this uniform I make sure I set the example for the people I'm serving. There is no reason in hell you shouldn't do the same. You should be ashamed of yourself."

He apologized and said I was right. He thanked me for serving and drove off.


...at 25 miles per hour.
