That asshole was trying to get me to "race" him this morning on I-4 between 436 and Lake Mary...

Luckily, I already knew about him...

Seriously though... He was pacing me on my left at the speed limit. Not once, but TWICE, he passed me got in front of me and slowed down... He was literally trying to make me speed up and pass him so he could pull me over!

The second time he did it, I dipped into the Rest Area at the very last second... I waved him goodbye!

Holy Hell I got BUSTED during that operation. I didnt read about his until right now. I was driving on I4 heading towards tampa. I wasnt going THAT fast. I saw maybe 30 people get pulled over so I was pretty cautious. All of a sudden a state trooper starts cruising behind me and pulls me over. He said an aircraft clocked me doing 83 in a 70.

Me being a retard I took off my seat belt to get out my wallet before he got to my car. He ofcourse asked where is my seat belt. I told him "i swear i just took it off" He asked if the s2000 was mine. He went to his car for about 15minutes. I'm looking ahead at 2 cars pulled over ahead of me. He came back and said he's going to cut me a break. Instead of giving me a $160 dollar ticket and 3 points on my license, he is going to give me a $68.00 citation for not having a drivers license with a current address.(he asked if it was current ahead of time and i told him no)

He really could of got me for:

1. No seatbelt(even though i had it on)
2. Doing 13 over
3. Outdated address

I didnt expect to get off since they went through the trouble of such an elaborate sting. He was cool enough to give me directions to where I was going. I shook his hand and went on my way.

They would do better if they just parked a patrol car on the side of the road with it's radar on! would slow down a lot more people!
