Default beware jax drivers

so yesterday i went into work and a coworker told me he was driving down atlantic blvd and a blue subaru wrx (he said it was dark blue but i don't recall them making them in that color, and doesn't know if it was a sti or not) pulled up next to a civic at a light and started reving his engine- got the civic to race. after the suby stomped the piss out of the civic it preceded to slow down, get behind the civic and pull him over for street racing. i have not heard anyone else mention anything like this before (well other than the mustang gt that is messing with orlando drivers) but i do know that jax is starting to get some weird unmarked cars so it doesn't surprise me. so be careful out there.

Also did see on the Gandy bridge a few weeks ago the police had a 97-99 Toyota Camry which would have appeared to be broken down on the bridge , clocking cars as they went over the bridge . This was at like midnight to 2 AM . the mistake they made was using a Toyota Camry . How often do you see a Camry broke down . Stupid cops !!!

That's gotta be FHP, JSO doesn't have any $$$ for that kinda stuff and all of jso's undercover cars are giant shit boxes.

Thanks for the heads up. Just another reason to not drive in Jax.

If this is so then this could be perceived as entrapment and kicked. Revving the engine up to provoke a race, then racing them selves (the cop) to make an arrest. This would make the officer
