Post Your Police Stories Here!!!
ok, i'll start this thing out (and yes i know this sounds a little far fetched and i in no way condone this behavior, i'd like to think i've grown up a bit in recent years).
it's 7am and i'm on my way to work, lots of crap has been happening lately and i'm just feeling crappy... so i decide to take the old highway that runs by the ohio river to work. I start pushing my eclipse gs-t as i come out of the last tight turn, because i know a big staightaway is coming up. there is a truck ahead of me and i'm pushing 100 (in a 35mph zone). I decide to pass (in a no passing zone btw). 110 115 120, i blaze by him in the suicide lane, just as i'm passing him around the gradual turn ahead comes a cop! i'm heading straight for him in his lane, though i'm freaked i don't let off and swerve back into the right lane not 40 yrds from the cop.
you should have seen the look on his face, i think he was pretty sure he was going to die. i knew better than to stop at that point i just kept on excellorating 120 125, he just sat there stoped in the middle of the road, didn't even turn on his lights.
(i know it seems unreal, looking back on it, it still feels like it didn't happen. i've been lucky)

('93 honda accord) it was pretty quick. so im driving on route 1&9 aka tunelly ave. my cousin tells me to gun it i hit about 85, and i see a cop he turns his lights on like a second after i seen him. he was about 1,000 feet away. he does a quick u turn and i slam on my brakes i almost hit his rear bumper. but the funny thing is he didnt car about me cuz there was a robbery in progress at the best buy my cousin works at. about 1 1/2 miles down the road. so i got off lucky. now tho i drive wit my mom & dad and i got my permit. let me tell u tho i was pretty scared lol.

There's an office park near where I live where people used to go to race. Myself (in previous car, white '99 Prelude) and about 20 other cars are all out there, and a Nissan 200SX wants to throw down. We get out on the access road, people in place w/radios, and line up. There's a guy standing between us to start. All of a sudden, a cop car comes out of nowhere and stops in front of me, lights on, sirens blaring. Myself and the 200SX just sort of sit there while the other cars in the office park scramble. Cop comes over, and we have the following conversation:
Cop: License and registration
Me: gives it to him...
Cop: What are you doing out here?
Me: Uh, meeting some friends..
Cop: Did you know people race out here (Note: This is while I'm still LINED UP, on the WRONG SIDE of this 2-lane access road, with this other car).
Me: No officer, never heard of that.
Cop:Where do you live?
Me: (told him where, real close)
Cop: I know where that is. Go home now, I don't ever want to see you in here again
Well, I leave, and start driving around, trying to find my friends who scrambled. I pull into a nearby bank parking lot, where they are parked. Not 2 minutes after I pull in, the same cop (with like 3 more cars) pull in right behind us, blocking us in. They come over, reminded me I was supposed to leave, and proceeded trying to find SOMETHING to ticket me for. Turns out my permanent tags were on backward, so I got a ticket for that. I also (along with everyone else there) got a 10 minute speech on the evils of street racing. The girl parked next to me (Blue GS-R, from Virgina, hella hot, hope she's reading this) had no license on her, car was registered to the wrong person, and lots of illegal things about her car. She was there a lot longer than me.
Suffice it to say I've given up such pursuits, too much trouble.

it's amazing looking back how many close encounters i've had with the cops and it seems some of you have too. hope this helps people realize that there are penalties for these activites and if we hadn't gotten extremely lucky we would have probably ended up in jail.

so I'm fat chillin in my sweats and beater shirt in my dorm when this HOT HOT HOT chick Megan from the third floor asks if I could give her a ride over to QFC because she needs some stuff and its raining really hard. Obviously I agreed and we were walkin to my car when I realized I didnt have my wallet, "no biggie I figure its just down the street" (famous last words). So we hop in my car and start the drive over, I dont know the area that well at that point so I end up at a one lane right turn only and I need to go left. I turn to Megan and say, "eh, its just a suggestion" make sure traffic is clear which it most definately was and take the turn quickly. I get about 20 feet when I see the cop hiding behind a lil coffee shack turning his lights on and pulling towards me, I know I'm screwed. So I pull over less than a block from where i originally turned. Officer comes up
"you know why I pulled you over?"
"yes sir, I took a left out of that right turn only"
"so you know you did that?"
"yeah" (there was no way escaping it there were tons of signs
"ok, lisence and registeration"
"ummmm, the thing about that is, I left my wallet in my dorm right over there (handing him the registeration)"
"hmmmm....does she have liscence?"
Megan hands him her lisence and I gave him my lisence number and he walks back...doesnt come back for the longest time, I'm certain I'm getting a ticket
ten minutes later when he returns I see him empty handed and breath a sigh of relief but am still concerned. He goes,
"that was a 101 dollar infraction"
me: "ok"
"driving w/o a lisence is also a 101 dollar ticket"
"ok"
"I bet you can think of a better way to spend 202 dollars"
"yes sir"
"alright, well you'll need to have her drive now because you dont have a lisence"
Megan: "I cant drive a stick" (figures)
officer: "ok, park it here and go get your lisence"
so the cop waited at the car while we walked in the pouring down rain to get my lisence...I still consider myself EXTREMELY lucky
I was pulled over for drifting in my 95 impreza L. I was only going about 15-20 mph (it was wet). Well, after I pull out of the turn, a cop that was hidding pulled me over.
Cop: License and registration?
Cop: Son do you want to go to jail tonight?
Me: what!...No
Cop: give me you keys, pop your hood.
He got me for an illeagle intake.
...25 minutes later- Cop: In light of taking you to jail tonight I'm writing you up for these violations: Unsafe turn, Unsafe speed and illeagle mods to emissions equiptment.(He gives keys back)
That sucked.

it was 5:30 in the morning and i had just dropped my mom off at the airport and i really wanted to get back in bed. i started heading back home on the freeway and there were 2 cars traveling at 60 mph right next to each other in 2 different lanes. after flashing one car for a while to mover over a lane and let me thru, which tha a-hole never did, i hopped in the car pool lane (i was by myself) and flew past them going 95 in a 60. before i did this i looked ahead of me and behind me to check for police. promptly after i passed these 2 cars a white chevy caprice starts flashing the red and blue lights from inside the car. this was the first ghost car i had encountered on the freeway. by the time i saw him he was already pretty close to me. i move out of the carpool lane (far left) into the center lane. at this point im still doing around 85-90. he pulls up next to me in the far right lane, which was strange because i had every intention of puuling over and stopping, we both look over at each other, he raises his arm with his hand open and his palm facing down and makes a pressing down motion a couple times and then just took off at like 100mph. i couldnt belive it.

Ok...here's my story.
Back about 10-11 years ago or so, I was in college and driving my bright red, hot rod '57 Chevy (400HP / Muncie 4Speed) out on I75 near Tampa. I had two of my (female) friends with me and we had just been to see a movie and were headed back to the dorm. I started up the on-ramp when I noticed a couple of semi's in the right lane apparently not caring that I was trying to merge. "No Problem" I thought as I droped it down a gear and mashed the pedel to the floor. The 'ol Chevy lunged ahead and shot out well ahead of them. Feeling the urge to flush out the 4 barrel that night, I kept my foot into a tad too long and when I looked down, the needle was burried at 120 and we were still accelerating. About this time, my radar detector starts up with bleep....bleep bleep...bleeep bleep bleep. I nail the brakes and hang on as the old drum brakes start to bleed off a speed a little at a time. As I roll past the Florida highway patrol parked in the median, my radar detector goes nuts and I see his lights go on. I roll off to the right letting my speed down a bit more gradually now as the cop pulls his copstang in behind me. After what seemed to be an eternity, he comes walking up to my door and says:
Cop: "Mighty nice car to be out here blowing it up like that."
Me: (Couldn't resist) "Blowing it up hell...I still had two grand left on the tach yet!"
Cop: (laughing) Ya know...I've GOT to write you a ticket for this one right?
Me: Yep...how bad is it?
Cop: Well....I'll let you off with 92 in a 55, but by rights, I should be having this thing impounded tonight."
As I recall, the ticket was something in the neighborhood of $375. I had to go down to the Tampa courthouse to pay it and as I got back on the interstate to head home after paying it, I flipped on the radio.
Radio: " I CAN'T DRIVE.......55!"
Oh brother.
