Just a quick question for anyone who might know for certain. I got busted drag racing tonight which sucks pretty bad, but I didn't get any citation on the spot. I just have to stop by the police station tomorrow to talk to him. So here's what I'm wondering. Since he didn't give me any citation on the spot is there anyway he can LEGALLY prosecute me at this point(ie ticket, jail etc...) I'd just kinda like to get an idea before I go in there tomorrow.
BTW I won the race ;-)
keep it real

Apologize and tell him that you realize what you did was VERY stupid.
I've never heard of the police doing something like that.
Pray that they'll let ya off.
I got pulled over by a cop in an undercover Grand Prix GTP while racing my buddies Firehawk. He ended up letting us go. So, keep your fingers crossed!

All I got was an hour long lecture. Well that and I was informed t hat all of the cops in a 100 mile radius of where I live are going to be informed. Guess I'm done street racing, but at least I'm not in jail.

Yep, just ran by him while he was checking speeds. I really shouldn't be racing w/o my radar detector, but hindesight is always 20/20

you should get a radar detector and an emp gun.
when your bleepy detector say HEY WATCH OUT
hop out and shock his car dead with your emp gun. ALL OF HIS ELECTRONICS WILL BE DEAD
do a little dance that involves this
D::flipa: :flipa: :bloated: :flipa: :flipa: :D
and then you can continue racing
just make sure to turn your car off first

EMP is an electro magnetic pulse.
an emp gun is a device that will "shoot" (shoots a emp wave, therefore its a emp gun) or direct that electromagnetic pulse at something.
emp will destroy (if powerful enough) electronic circuits, ionize air molecules, erase data from harddrives, and do a bunch of other nasty stuff to electronic components.
cars, as you may have guessed, contain electronic components (just in case you didnt already know. i do not in any way shape or form mean attacking a vehicle: civilian, or goverment. just saying that it is not at all impossible to do something to that scale) <-- disclaimer :)
dont do that to cheat tho. i would shoot you with a real gun if you did it to me. cus im crazy :bloated:
i dont think you can buy them unless you are doing experiments for schools. but you can buy them at places on the internet. just look around

racin in my friends 93' lude VTEC against a normal civic that had all this stuff done to the outside. looked gay as hell. But i got pulled over doin 110 in a 65 zone. Since he pulled me over an the other guy got away, he let me go with a 240 dollar ticket. Might think thats bad, but i could have been arrested for racing, put in jail for three months, two counts of reckless endangerment (2friends were with me) and my license suspended for a long ass time. looking back though, i think he was trying to scare me.

i wouldnt recommend running, but ive seen a few people do it successfully..........
ya gotta watch cops, ya gotta be a alert and aware.....run radar sometimes, and do it in places that arent populated or patrolled often....
dont do it anywhere where it will disturb the public either, coz if somebody sees it they might call in....
as for stoplight racing...damn just use your head, and dont do it in the same place often if the cops are catchin on
