cops...

[brownaznkid]

i dont understand this... i'm on my way to class today... from a stoplight i accelerate moderately... rpms go up to like 4000 and i shift, go up to 4000 then shift again until i hit about 40 mph and then i go into 4th... when i was in 2nd gear accelerating, i see a cop coming down the other way.. and he hears my engine.. and then i see him make a u turn and follow me to my school waiting for me to miss a signal or run a stop sign or anything... and then when no cars were around... he accelerates mad hard till he gets right behind me... i mean like less than 10 ft behind me... then he waits like 2 mins and then puts the flashers.. he says.. "how fast were you going back there?" i said "40" (speed limit was 40) and then he goes.. "that's not what i got you at" at this time... i was thinking... how can he get me.. when he was coming down the other way.. he wasnt even stationary when he supposedly "got me on radar" so then he comes back with my info, he says "since you're 18 and have no points, i'm gonna let you go with a warning.." i said ok thanks and just went to go park in the parking lot...

no offense to other people that might be cops on this board... but damn..

I get the same problems with cops around here, just driving the speed limit then they'll turn around and follow...

But as far as radar goes, they CAN get you goes different ways, and they can be moving, I just got a ticket 4 weeks ago and he was coming around the corner and got me...the only way radar doesnt pick up is if its pointed at a 90degree angle, they have to shoot it straight, either in front or behind you.

At least you didnt get fined.

radar does in fact work while moving... your speedo might be off a bit so it may have been a little faster. I don't know what you have done to your car but hooked up cars are targets... doesn't sound like such a bad experience imo.

yea but if it was off a bit... then it would be +/- 5 mph.. and some cops are just anal when it comes to the speed limit... but damn.. that shit got me late to class..

all i have on my car is amber friggin corners, but although the pick up in front of me was accelerating harder than i was and was hooked up with some nice looking shit suprisingly didnt get pulled over.. what luck heh?

Doesnt seem bad to me, you didnt get anything. One time i was driving by on my way to work, when i pass by a cop who was waiting to make a turn, caught up to me, and said i was doing 50??, my speedo said 35-40 tops. Just looking at me he said i did 50. No radar or nothin. That was my first offence, and i was 18.

[mayberry]

i got nailed by a state trooper today....he got me at 70 and i was on the brakes hard. and he was comeing in the opposite direction.it was a 55mph speed limit....and im only 17. one bad thing after another i guess.

it happens to me to often gettin stopped by cops. one that i have to fight in july for court is careless driving in nj. he pulled me over cuz i was dancing while i was driving (not having my hands on the wheel). then the wack one is new years day i was driving that nite down a hill doing 40 in a 40 in 3rd gear and it was pretty loud with the exhaust so he pulls me over and says. ur exhaust is loud there and ur bumper is black- i told him i need a tune up cuz the soot goes on the bumper and i havent washed it in weeks. he was like oh ok and left.

that isnt my only pull over i am 18yrs old and gotten pulled over 11 times with a stock and modified car i havent had my license for 2 whole yrs.

Unfortunately, I will destroy your record of 4 cops. I think it was 11 cops, a fire truck, and fire marshall that pulled me over lol. By pulled me over I mean surrounded me Long story short, we had been out blowing shit up and causing other random mayhem, and I got arrested for felony deadly conduct.... woohoo

[Sho Nuff]

Holyshit, 11 times, and no license in 2 years, damn you have it rough. But i always keep my silencer in, so cops cant say shit. Only time i take it out is when i wanna annoy my neighbors, or when i am in a really bad mood.

[Fearit22]

That really sucks man. I hate it when cops do stupid bs like that.

yup, that is so TRUE! i got a ticket one time, and i wasnt speeding and he said i was 10 over. and i wasnt.. so i wa slike whatever, took it to court. and the judge asked him for the paper that stated his gun was calibrated. and he couldnt come up with one by the next day. so he called me and said i won.. WOOT!

[Fearit22]

It's definitely worth it to fight tickets. I was talking to one of those lawyers who takes care of traffic tickets, and he said that they pretty much always get dropped. I forget what the exact time period is, but here in Texas at least if they haven't had the radar gun calibrated within a certain pretty short time period they can't write you a ticket.

you plan on going to court saying "i was dancing while i was driving, i didn't have my hands on the steering wheel."?!?!?

sounds pretty careless to me.

even when not speeding, there's always the "exhibition of speed" ticket- you're not going over the speed limit, but you "hurried" to get to the speed limit. cops like to hand those out to people who squeal/chirp tires at stop lights, or hear the annoying drone of their exhausts.

[Fearit22]

That's how I am too. I hate when they get all power hungry. You have to remember they are public servants...not people who can try to control us. Some of them seem to forget that sometimes.
