tailing cops

I've often wondered how long I could follow a cop on patrol before he noticed and did something about it. I don't think that there's technically anything illegal about it... anyone ever tried this?


yes, its true. me= :loser:

:iceslolan

Better yet, in a T-model Ford, wearing suits and holding an empty violin case... :lol2:

lol... I don't get it. is that a movie reference?

Jonno's back!

And yes, brilliant mental image there Jonno, lol!

Meh, have been posting here and there for a while.

Too busy playing Soldier of Fortune 2, and I guess going to school every once in a while... :p

I've tailed a cop with sirens blaring and disco lights on for about 8-10 km down the motorway once. Quickest I ever got home from uni at 4 PM :p Usually if theyre going in a hurry somewhere they don't give a shit if you catch their tail wind :smile:

However doing it to cop on patrol is not the smartest thing to do, you're highly likely to get pulled over, your car checked over with a fine tooth comb and then you will probably will be ticketed on some minor thing because the cop will be pissed off at you for wasting his time.

It would be worth it, in my opinion, just for a laugh. As an alternative to the gangster look, you could dress in a Hamburglar costume....black and white striped jumpsuit with the raccoon mask. Better still...try to pull HIM over while wearing a British bobby uniform. If only cops had a sense of humor...

Actually, they probably do, but they just can't do anything about it because the call they were going to takes priority over what you're doing. Just be sure to not be behind them when they get to the call and there's already a cop there. :uhoh:

What if there isn't anything to ticket you for? :p

then they'll give you a ticket for wasting a finite resource.

lol i don't think that would work where i live the cops idea of patrol is sitting on the side of the road waiting for a speeder or a call. lazy god damn cops. :banghead:

ive gotten 2 tickets for tailing cops..there on the highway doing about 80 just crusing with no lights on or anything so i pull behind them and do about 75..i figured if they can speed why cant i
bad idea and this happened twice to my dumbass

twice? hahaha

You didnt learn the first time? That's pretty dumb.

was the ticket for tailing them? or the illegality of driving at night with your lights off...

i believe his ticket was for speeding, correct?

no both tickets where for speeding..there where in front of me and put there lights on then swicthed lanes and then got behind me and pulled me over

hahaha

ill follow the local deputy sheriffs when they are out on the highway and dont have their lights on..most times they will get up around 70 or 80 mph. and from what ive gotten from my cop buddy they cant break the speed limit unless they have the lights on and as of right now i havent gotten in trouble for it ..they usually slow down a little but not much..
