Almost went to jail

[david-b]

So last nite I was cruising around. It was me, my boy in the MX6, my guy in the STi (pictured left), a dude in a 97 talon esi, grand prix, and a sunfire was all there. At the end of the nite, it was jsut me, the other talon, and the STi. We decided to get some food, then made a bet. $5 for both the talons. We decided to head out to this place known for racing, but I've never really been. So, we drive out there, only about 4 miles away. The STi was staying behind us.

So, we go back in the factories, and find a nice long empty road. We line up, and call the sti besides us. We tell him to go to the end to look for 5 0, but he decided to leave. So, its 2 talons, sitting side-by-side on an empty road back in the factories. Im on the right side. We're waiting, just talking back and forth, and I happen to look behind, and there's a chicago squad sitting on our ass. I say "cop" and start driving forward. The other guy starts driving too. The cop follows and turns on his lights. He pulls over, and so do I, but Im far ahead already. The cops get out to talk to the talon, and I just take off. Im scared, looking in my mirror.

So, I pass by some other people standing around, and I yell, "COPS!" and they go taking off. The other cars coming toward them, I just wave them on. There was traffic. I'm heading home, and I have to make a kinda loop around. Im far down the block, thinking Im good, and a cop car pulls out from a side street in front of me, about 3 blocks up, sees me, and make a U-turn, and sits on my ass. Im driving normal, no radio on, windows closed, just trying to relax. He rode my ass for awhile, but with no lights or anything. He then makes another U-turn, going back in the way he was originally heading, and turns on his lights and pulls over. I then took side streets home.


Can anything happen? Can they like send me a ticket or anything? We werent racing. No proof there. Can they do anything? Thanks. Im still scared.

LMAO dude you better hope he didnt get a good look at your plates. Even if you weren't racing, he did pull you over, and you just fled. That means you did do something wrong, evading police. Most likely nothing will happen, as long as the other guy didn't rat you out or anything and tell them your name or where you live or anything like that. Why the hell did you leave anyways? You said so yourself, you didn't do anything wrong yet.

[david-b]

The other guy doesnt know where I live or anything. No phone number neither. I didnt race off, I just drove away. All I seen was the lights go on and he pulled over the other dude. I supposed he could have pulled me over when I was leaving, or when he did the U-turn, but he didn't. He had every oppertunity to get me. He could have even called on his blow-horn thing for me to stop and wait, but nothing. So, technically, the cop pulled the other dude over, no me. I'm never street racing again, or cruising. Tonite when Im coming back from work, I know the same cop is goig to be out. Im taking the side-streets home.

so your scared because you didnt do anything wrong? Doesnt make a whole lot of sense. I dont see why your all paranoid if your completely innocent.

I bet you feel like such a bad ass haha. Cops in my city are just assholes, they ALWAYS follow my car, no lights or sirens, they just follow me for a good 7 minutes.. yes, 7 minutes. I find this so creepy.. almost stalkerish, but I have a clean record so there's not much to worry about. I've never raced before, nor do I ever intend to. So much can go wrong.

[l_eclipse_l]

Ohhhh ok I understand now. Yeah you have nothing to worry about man.

[pinkslipRT]

nope no ticket for u because the first cop didnt get ur plate,second they have to prove it was u drivin it, third they have to catch u in the act. also the cop that u turned and assed u was just runnin ur plates and fuckin with u because u look like u were in a race car. i garuntee this to u u will not get a ticket or ever hear about it again even if ur other buddy gave u up. because of the above reasons i stated.................ur clean

They didn't need plates to come to my house and throw my ass in jail! I left that county mounty miles behind (84 crown vic vs. formula lt1 6spd ; ) Anyway I think someone listening to the scanner ratted me out. They came straight to my house and I got cuffed and stuffed with a felony fleeing. No license number or anything, just that gi-normous NO FEAR sticker on the back (that was 1995). The charges were dropped for lack of evidence, but I still spent 4 days in felony D-block. Maybe you have nothing to worry about though.

[pinkslipRT]

but if......................if that happens it will always be thrown out becaus eof my reasons above, also if the cops in ur town have nothing better to do than that then the should build a dunin doughnuts or krispy kreme to keep them busy.....also that was in 95 much diff now and also my vary by state

[SLoe]

I live in Arkansas, and that should explain EVERYTHING. I figure Jim-Bob and Billy-Joe had nothing better to do and already had their fill of Duncan Doughnuts. lol

You know the only reason Louisiana didn't slide into the ocean?

Because Arkansas sucks so much. j/k I wouldn't live anywhere else.

I wouldnt worry. I've been in some interesting spots and I know lots of people that have been in LOTS of sticky situations, and I dont think they can get you in trouble if they didnt pull you over. If you were just talking and not racing, I doubt they can stick you with anything, even if you were the one that got pulled over. I know what you mean though, cops just following you. I pulled out of my cull-de-sac street thing right after a state trooper passed. He turned around and followed me all the way to my friends house like 10 miles away! His house is on a long driveway with like 6 houses at the end, I stopped after about 40 feet when I was into trees and just watched, sure enough he turned back around. I dont have any idea wtf happened, but I have been just randomly followed/had lights flickered at me, I wouldnt worry about it.

Similar thing happend to me a couple of weeks ago. I was racing in the city at about 3am. We were racing on a normal street but there werent any cars. A mile down the road the light hit red and the guy lined up with me again. I was gonna go again but then I see a cop out of nowhere standing behind his car. He pulled over and I continued driving really slowly down the read. The cop screamed out of this loud speakers they have " Pull over now" so i just pulled over. When he got out of his car and went to the guy I was racing I floored the Eclipse all the way home. Never got any ticket

[pinkslipRT]

yeah i got pulled for leaving a parking lot i shouldnt have been in because there was a hurricane, i tried to ditch the cop but i didnt wanna make it seem like i was running. fkn pigs
