Beware of CHP driving personal cars!!!

Yesturday I saw some crazy stuff. I was driving home from San Jose at about 4. I'm in the lane next to the slow lane going about 65 and I look over to my right and I see a guy driving a dark blue Scion Tc. He is wearing his full CHP uniform with radio on his shoulder and all. He was cruising the same speed as me for about 3 miles.

All of a sudden a Pontiac Fiero comes mashing (about 80-85) up behind me, moves to the slow lane, passes me and then cuts off the Scion almost swiping him. The Scion speeds up to about 75 and kinda tails him for a bit. About 2 min goes by and one of the white CHP Camaros flies by me at mach 5.

5 miles down the freeway the Fiero, Scion and CHP Camaro are all pulled over on the side of the road. It was crazy.

In short:

Be careful speeding cause there are regular cars with CHP in them radioing cruisers about speeders.

This was on 280N between Moody Road in Los Altos and San Hill Road.

At least it ends the problem of douches slamming on their brakes and going 15mph under the speed limit when they see any car that resembles a police cruiser. Haha, being pulled over by a scion is the ghey!

I wonder if that douche bag cop would have radioed his buddy if he saw someone cruising at 65 with a half flat tire like I see every day...

I'm sure the cutting off didn't help, but traffic was pretty slow anyway. he was going about 10+ mph than most other people.

on 101 north an off duty CHP called me and my ex in for following too close and speeding.....5 min later the on duty chp pulled us over!

its not entrapement...anyone can call in a driver and complain....just depends on how serious it is if they bother to look for them.....but of course if an off duty cop calls it in, you can bet that theyll hunt them down

I don't see how anyone can see this as a bad thing. If it brings one more douche to justice it's a +1 in my book.

You clearly dont understand entrapment. Its only entrapment if the cop induces you to do something you wouldn't otherwise do. The cop driving along like a normal human isn't entrapment.
