StarquestRescue Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Wow, that is a new one to me. I do not even like to make a tuning pull with another car any where close to me. If a cop saw it he might think we were racing. A 85 in a 55 would be bad enough, but street racing is a whole nother level of doo doo to step in. I can't wait for the track to open.

StreetVelocity Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 ouch you got off easy cops up here would have had 20 cops at your car and a full search and seizure but small town cops are always bored lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860QuestTuner Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 They been doing that in hartford area for past 10 years. Its some bull though , Ok for them to street race but not u. Not really pro street racing, just anti do as i say not as i do. A officer in my town wrapped around a pole a couple years back raceing down the road for kicks with his buddy in the rain. Wish wee had a track in CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchi934 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 so its cool for the cop to break the law to persuade you to break the law? thats cool. nice double standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchi934 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 probably only pulls over the people who whoop him. lol when he pulled you over you should have told him you "saw the marked car and was trying to help him catch that street racing srt8."

NudeLobster Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 They stress with the bait cars that they don't break the speed limits, they just take off fast to rile people up. It's not entrapment because nothing they do is forcing you to launch and race (except your ego) anyways, cops break speed limits all the time. They just usually have lights flashing too. Frenchi, while in ATL visiting, we saw a cop flash his lights, rip a U turn around and blow a red light. Then once he cleared the intersection he turned his lights off and cruised away.

Bad2Rass Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 from what I understand down in Miami they will impound your car indefinitely and sell it at police auction if you are caught street racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzrider Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 If there revving and take off fast can still be considered any number of laws including but not limited to exhibition of power, careless driving, or reckless driving. being jerkoffs and harassing us instead of actual criminals should be a crime too.

RobH Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 when i let off at the top of 3rd gear at 90 + mph he flew by me so he had to be doing at least 100 + after i let off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzrider Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 This is wild. Impound your car and crush it is what I remember hearing as well. Can't believe any of that is legal. America is silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL -Justin I see it all the time. Cops blowing the speed limit. No lights. Especially on the open highway. Indiana is notorious for this. Their argument is that they are trying to catch speeders from behind on the highway so they will run 100 to sneek up behind them, they don't use radar, they pace you from a ways back and then ticket you without radar. And yes, legally, they can give you a ticket without radar. Pacing is considered valid and there aren't very many judges that will support the accused. We all the know the reality. Cops get to do pretty much whatever they want. Its one of the few perks of putting your life on the line everyday for thirty grand a year. I have just accepted it as the way it is and don't get emotional about it anymore. I am glad there are men and women out there that are willing to do that job for the measly pay they get. Most of what they do is in the better interest of the public and to keep us safe. Public teachers also fall into this category for me. Hard work for little pay.

psu_Crash Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 90% of the cops in my neck of the woods would have thrown the book at anyone caught doing that. Way to many pricks with a Napolean complex on a power trip. They'll throw you in jail for piddly crap and then let the local Meth Lab operator rape his daughter for a decade only to get 3 years for it (true story).

I can't park my car out here on the weekends, ends up with stickies with numbers trying to buy her, lol. Few years ago they were racing on Jennings Road, right behind the Police Station!

BOHO Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Crazy story....No reason cops should be able to intice you into breaking the law....Same with tailgating....It makes me want to slam on the brakes and put my reciever hitch threw his radiator....

yzrider Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Ive had some cops up my tail before like maybe an inch or two off my bumper and have often wondered what would happen if I downshifted say from 5th to 2nd or so since obviously not going over 50mph so could easily drop into second and didnt light up the brake lights. They would surely slam into the back and they rear ended me. They didnt have control of their vehicle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_Rich Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 In my opinion, that's entrapment.Just another reason to get a GoPro type camera and video tape whenever you are driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchi934 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Enticing someone to race is sort of like getting in someones face and talking crap about their mother. Sure they dont make you swing but its almost a lose lose situation if you dont. I wonder how much effort, time, money, and gas they waste a year trying to entice people to break the law when they could easily catch people who are doing it all on their own..
