what is it about red sports cars, gas stations, and 4:30am that makes cops follow you.
4:30am was on way to work, noticed car was ridin funny, so i pulled over and looked and back tire was really low so went to the gas station thats not even 1/8 mile from house, pull in get air, and a cop pulls in gas station across the street, and turns lights off and sits. i start leaving he turns toward the road i would have to cross to get back on highway to continue the way i was originally going(toward interstate) on the other side of the stop light. and since i knew he had seen my car and pointed his car as if to come after me (as if i did anything wrong, i was running a little late due to tire needing air but wasnt speeding or anything, had a flat, and i have a good job that they dont care if your a little late(up to 6 min) i got there right at 5am i wasnt in a hurry.)i take the other way to work following the highway the other direction, i get 2 miles down road into next city limit, and here comes a car flyin up behind me, was the cop, and tailgated me for atleast 8 miles, until he saw a shrifs dept. car on other side of another underpass. i did nothing wrong, i went to gas station to fill flat tire, and went oposite direction then what he wanted me to is that a crime? he never turned on his lights to pull me over, but if i would have hit brakes all of a sudden for anything, he would have ate the rear end of my baby.

He might have been checking your tag to see if it was stolen. I heard thats standard procedure that early.


edit: check out the ad for used police cars!

Haha that sucks, yeah cops do that kind of crap all the time, it pisses me off.


BTW about the ads I see that about used cop cars and also another for gastions for sale :lol:

i wouldnt mind owning a used cop car (specially one of the ones there) and the cops dont need to be that close to run your tags either, i would have hit my breaks and said some stupid shit like a dog ran in front of my car and also play injured... fuckers

I wouldnt.. break checking the cops = bad idea because they got that stupid camera.. BUT whenever cops do that to you, just pull over somewhere.. I did that one time when I was driving in this backroad I didnt even know where the hell I was at and this cop decided to be stupid and follow me so.. me not being up to it, I just turned into the neighborhood and he STILL followed so then I pulled over on the side of a house, acted like it was mine and started walking to the door.. obviously did this while taking my time and sooner or later the cop had to go somewhere. damn asshole.

A camera doesn't mean jack. There are laws about following too closely. Doesn't matter if you hit your breaks for a dog, jackalope, or peterpan, if he rearends you, HE is at fault, not you.

Not maintaining car lengths so that would be his fault but he would turn it around on you somehow.

Doesnt matter but just random break checking is not good.

3 right turns and the cop is gone... he can not legally follow you anymore.....

3 right turns and the cop is gone... he can not legally follow you anymore.....

How so? Never heard of that before, but it's good to know.

because after 3 right turns it becomes (cant think of the name... damnit) but its the same reason as why cops cant park outside of a bar and wait for cars to leave....

lol if u could find out the name of the law cuda it would be extremely helpful

its not my fault my brain only remembers the important parts.... all i need to know is 3 rights = a wrong for the cop....

Well... what about 3 lefts?

Well... what about 3 lefts?

Yeah I was thinking about that too like what if you make 2 right turns the 1 left turn? Or is this stricly only for the right turns or what?



:lol: I know we're being A-holes just asking this too.

making 3 rights means going in a big circle, so you might end up behind the cop..

Good one Cuda... I'm trying to figure out how to make 3 rights on a divided highway (PA turnpike for instance).

what is it about red sports cars, gas stations, and 4:30am that makes cops follow you.

eh, ht the brakes next time, teach the fucker a lesson, its his damn fault, and following for 8 miles without turing on his light to pull you i belive is illegal in MI, but im not sure, but next time teach the fucker a lesson then let him and his dept. pay to fix it.

making 3 rights means going in a big circle, so you might end up behind the cop..

im trying to figure out how only 3 rights gets you in a full circle... dont you have to turn right one more time to be going the direction you were? lol lol shoudnt that be four rights if you want to end up behind him??? :eek7:

in a square, 3 rights would get you back to the point you started at... 4 rights would keep you going in the circle...

i got the same problem, except they think im a cop in my caprice, seriously they wave at me

You should superglue a can of Shlitz to your dash board and see what they do then.

lol, shut up, i was thinking of triangular city blocks... (not really, no)well if you make 3 rights you will be able to see him maybe and you can shoot his pos with a paint ball gun and by the time he turns his car around you could be a mile a way.

an officer can follow you pretty much anywhere in his/her jurisdiction, just because you make 3 right turns doesnt mean that if the officer was needing to make those same turns that he would have to pull off and wait for you to finish your route or whatever...i can follow a car anywhere i feel, a lot of times its hard to see the registration sticker on some plates and you have to get a little closer to see when they expire, you can pull up and get a plate ran to see if there are any warrants etc for that owner of the vehicle and if you're too far behind the person may get away from you if another car pulls out or whatever...i agree that brake checking is not a smart idea...a lot of people say "man that cop was soooo close to me all i would have had to have done was tap the brakes and he couldnt have stopped"...a lot of people say that but rarely is ever attempted, but in the unfortunate situation where an officer would rear end a car another department would investigate the accident and it is an infraction to follow another vehicle too close so the officer may be ruled at fault but like was said earlier the cars w/ the camera would be good evidence of what happened...but the police cant really police the police so it'd really depend on the situation on who's at fault...but still is never a good idea!

pulling a lil close so you can see the plate is 1 thing but to sit there and ride my ass so close all i gotta do is pop the truck and you can climb in is another thing, i would pull over and as he passes id flip him off.

Glad we have a cop here who we can talk to.. so I got a question.. Why are you guys such dicks?




















































J/k

lol!

...i can follow a car anywhere i feel...

Aren't you a little young to be a police officer??? (A lot of the municipalities around here have requirements that would preclude most people under 25 or so from being a police officer.)

Either way... cop rear ends a civilian, his fault, whether or not you were "brake checking" or not. Police have no special priviledges whne it comes to the law and it's applicability to them. If someone driving a manual shift car rolls back into you at an intersection, it's your fault. If he a cop was following too close for the conditions, ie at night, and he rear-ends you (regardless of why) it's his fault.

The name of the law you mentioned earlier is "Entrapment" 3 turns in any direction is enough for a judge to recognize that the cop is going out of his way to follow you untill you screw up, which we all know is going to happen. This is valid unless the cop can give a reason (other than following you) that he went the same direction as you did. I guess I would be thankful that they are keeping an eye out like that should your car ever be stolen, you should be getting it back. Nonetheless I would be uncomfortable there too.

I love this thread for the ad on here "Used Police Car From formerly large inventory in the USA."

I soooo wanna buy one of them... is that considered impresonating an officer?

thats not my b-day in the profile, in kentucky the legal age to buy or possess a hand gun is 21 so to be an officer you must be 21

Not sure about buying a used police car used as impersonating an officer.. I do want to buy a Camaro with the B4C package.. (I think I spelt it right)

i love watching people get out of my lane and slow down when i pull up behind them

Its funny though cause people think that my Monte is sometimes a cop car :lol:

because after 3 right turns it becomes (cant think of the name... damnit) but its the same reason as why cops cant park outside of a bar and wait for cars to leave....

i can absolutley set outside a bar and wait for drunks to get in and drive away...legally if the keys are in the ignition and the drunk gets in the drivers seat, he/she is in control of the vehicle and can legally be arrested for drunk driving....the only thing about me setting outside a bar and waiting for drunks to start driving is stupidity by the drunk...it would however be entrapment if i said sure go ahead and drive and as soon as he got in and started to drive i arrested him, i can hide my car anywhere or behind anything but just cant say its okay to do something then pull you, that is entrapment...

do radar detectors actually work like they are said to work?

do radar detectors actually work like they are said to work?

yeah they work....they pick up radar guns but they are imo a waste of money....when running the radar you push the button once and it stops transmitting a signal or checking speeds, when a car comes you press the button again and it starts sending a signal to the target and tells you how fast its doing...when they get to what you think is gonna be their top speed you press the button again and it locks their speed in the gun incase there is any dispute on how fast they were doing and when you've pressed the button again that time that it locks the speed in it stops transmitting the signal again....so basically you're caught before you know whats happened! the radar gun is not continously sending out a signal so by the time the detector starts picking up a signal you are already in the officers direct view.

Ask 666_speed...he should know. But im gonna go out on a limb here and say..yes?

they work, believe it or not, mine has saved me from several tickets.

I need to start studing again, but hopefully I can get my ham licnece and then I can legally own and operate a radar jammer. All I have to be doing is transmitting on 12.5 GHz (if i remmeber correctly) and he gets a different reading. Sometimes he'll get 0, or I can make it say a different speed. Like 222 :D "No officer, I was not going two hundred and two miles per hour".

Oh and dont argue that, cuz its a cold hard fact =P

Wasn't there a myth some time ago about a flourescent bulb and some wire absorbing the radar waves? Another one was the stealth bra that was made of radar absorbent material...

In Michigan that is illegal. A cop can not sit at a bar and wait for people to leave..... and to be arrested for drunk driving the keys dont have to be in the ignition... they only need to be within reach of the operator... or in plain sight....

Mine works because it picks up the signal of the cop shooting the guys a mile or so ahead... so by the time i go by i already know he's there.... works like a dream... but if your the only car on the road your kinda screwed... but atleast you know you've been clocked....

I think you guys should stop trying to say you're right since its obvious you're in different states and thus different laws are in place.

How good they work depends on what type of "radar" the cop is using. If it's a laser signal, your cooked, because your detector probably won't pick it up until your snagged (being that laser's travel in a straight line). You have a better chance of detection if the officer is using a more traditional radar band, X, K, Ka, which transmit microwaves.

On the jammers, from what I have heard and read, they're all useless.

I dont have a radar, basiclly because im usually going with traffic which is almost always going 70 and thats 10 above the speed limit on the highway... thankfully cops cant pull you over for going with traffic.. or can they?


Haha this is like "Ask the pig!"


Im just messing with you, 666 Speed

I think you guys should stop trying to say you're right since its obvious you're in different states and thus different laws are in place.

good point...i have no clue how the law is stated in other states than ky

Im sure the laws are very similiar except for a select few that are changed for different reasons.. Also I know not many cops use laser radars because you gotta be really still and if you point it through the window the lazer messes up.

for sake of not arguing lol...IN kentucky yes, if you're speeding you can be pulled, we give 15 mph over the speed limit before we even pull the person anyways so you'd be okay with me doing 10 over...yeah we dont use lazer either....like 4k each...damn

Hey do you get bitched at by your superior or the judge if you give a ticket for like 1 mile over the speed limit or so? Or whatabout if its under 5 because I know that 5 is fine.. 10 is sometimes okay, depends on the cop and after 10 it's pushing it.. atleast thats what I think about it.

yeah they dont want stupid tickets wrote, a lot of cars speedometers are off a few mph from what the radar gun says so its pretty much pointless to write one for less than 5....there was a complaint of speeders on a road and they went to the paper and got an article about it so you get wrote for anything 10 mph or over on that street...we try to keep from writing little stupid tickets because you never know when you might need that persons help, maybe they have some information about a case or whatever...and if they hate you they are a lot less likely to help

Quick question 666. Why do they always put out those portable speed detectors (the ones that have the display and tell you how fast your going) out on the side of some roads? I always wondered that. It's like, am I supposed to be scared of getting pulled over because there's a machine up in front of me telling me how fast I'm going? I always stomp it right before I pass it just for the hell of it. Probably not a good idea, but fun nonetheless.

You know what's funny.. sometimes those portable display things have cameras on them.. so you might find a present through the mail with a ticket.. :lol:

Heh, wouldn't that be a shocker. I could honestly see my reaction now.. I'd be thinking to myself.. that would be my luck.

Yes, the radar jammers were proven to be junk, several different brands tested and all failed....now if we're talking an ECM pod... ECM=Electronic Counter Measures

The jammer Im talking about transmits a signal on the 12.5GHz band, and thats the band the police use for their radar detectors. Me transmitting screws up their speed reading, resulting in me going 105 and them reading 25, or me going 65 and them reading 222.

Im sure cops wont think you're going 25 when you fly past them though, they just arent that dumb.

They might not, but their radar detectors will read 25, and it wont hold up in court. If they mention my detector, I flash my ham licence, which allows me to transmit on that channel, and im set.

is it legal to operate a ham radio while driving? I know in some parts of the country its illegal to use a cell phone....

there are different ways of catching speeders other than radar guns, you can pace the car, if im following someone doing 10 over the speed limit and im doing 10 over and not gaining i know you're speeding 10 over....another way is to know how long it would take to go from point A to point B, if you make it to those 2 points faster than you should is another way of knowing you're speeding and will hold up in court
