I think the cops don't mind you speeding as long as they get an even start. LoL.... when the catch you doing 90 and they are sitting there is when they get pissed.

S4 dukar what does that story have one thing to do with being corrupt? Look up the definition before you slam them for something that doesn't even relate to your story. Lot's of cops when they come across a car that is cool and there isn't anyone around will ask the guy for a short run. I've even known cops to egg on guys on crotch rockets to see how far they can do a wheelie. Now if they stopped the guy after and asked for cash to let them go, that's corruption brother. Your example is just plain old fun.

I was taking an intro to law class, My profesor was a police chief... he basicly said its perfectly legal to race a cop if the cop instigates the race.. IE, hey lets race? or your driving and they rev on you and so you go... if they pull you over its called entrapment and you get off scott free..

But the only problem with that is, who is the judge going to believe in court, you or the cop?? You had better have some REAL good evidence on your side..... take it from someone who has seen cops tell whopper lies in court and the judge believe every word they say!

I've had one experience that was similar. Coming back to NJ from Pittsburgh. Car is about 2 weeks old.

I'm on the PA Turnpike, and catch up to a group of cars. The one in front of me pulls out and takes off to about 100. It's a Grand Marquis, with a guy and a gal in the front seats. No extra antenna, or noticable extra lights, normal clothes, etc... After a few minutes, he pulls back to the right, and I take the lead. I lead him to 100, 105, 110, and he's still in my mirror. At 115 I look up, and hes got his badge in his hand above the wheel.

I pull into the right lane, and he gets up next to me. Points toward his head (don't know... 'be smart' maybe, or something similar.), then leads me for another hour or so at a nice 90mph pace until he got off the Turnpike.

I was on the way in my crx and down shifted to 3rd going down a big hill. There was an undercover cop 3 cars behind me. When i pulled up to my house i parked and got out and then saw the cop roll up and show me his badge. I ignored him so he started yelling and telling me that i'm going to jail. He had to call another cop to write me a ticket since he was off duty. In court both the cops started sayin some BS like there was little kids in the road and I almost ran over all of then. There wasn't any kids in the road it was all lies. I HATE COPS.

Okay snowbebe tell the rest of the story. Uh huh you were just driving along and for no reason you became the next victim of the man, white satan, the blue eyed devil, el grande mano, gimme a friggin break here brother. Tell the whole story, this isn't 1933 and I'm not biting the hook. Yeah you hate cops, but you'll be the first one screaming for them when you are at the bottom of a pile of moon shine running V8 driving hellions. If you were really convicted about your belief of cops, call the department that handles where you live, give them all of your information, name, address, phone number all that good stuff and tell them that whenever you call for anything they can just not send a unit and can route that unit to other people that respect the law.

I had a similar experience.

At a canadian border, the border guard asked me to speed away as fast as I could from the border so he could "Hear my car fly". I felt kinda weird speeding away from the border...but who was I to say no to the all-powerful border guard?
