Back story: back when I had my bronco, the motor was tired, so I had to rag on it to get it to move... So when I got my ranger, old habits stuck. As I was pulling out of the shop, I kind of drifted into the curb. The cop going the other way walked up laughing called me a dumb*** and walked away.

The round flowing fenders of this vehicle have been lovingly reconstructed by a Dutch craftsman out of, what could be considered the most precious material on earth, bondo

Got pulled over on the way home from picking up the old lady once at about midnight. A cop ran the plate and the last registered owned was a wanted felon apparently. I got it as an abandoned vehicle and had put the paperwork in...wasn't in the computer yet

One guy was talking to me (very friendly) and his partner walked up to the passenger side. The old lady didn't notice him because she was looking out my window. The guy just says "how are you ma'am" and holy shit did it scare the hell out of her. Lol

They laughed, complimented my Tricolor German Shepherd, ran my name and let us go

When I first bought my car senior year of highschool I used to haul ass on the open road.. there was like this 2 mile straight on my route to school so i would always gun it and just to hear the beautiful sound of turbos spooling and blow off valves choo-chooing.. on my way home I would always pass this white Charger and I would slam on breaks dreading a cop had clocked me.. but after a while of seeingo it everyday on my way home I started not caring cause after a while I assumed it wasnt a cop telling myself "if it was he woulda pulled me over day 1".. well one day I was on my way home and I didnt see the Charger that day.. I thought it was odd.. so I turned around and took a different way home (my spidey senses were tingling) and well oddly enough the charger was at a stop light on the crossroads I passed on my normal route he was there waiting for me i suppose but to his surprise I pulled up behind him as thats where my alternative route took me.. and well he had no choice but to play it off and go so I followed behind. I stayed a good 3 car lengths behind him. We were going 55. He started gradually slowing down more and more (I guess he was hoping Id fly around him like a demon) but at this point I was already on to him I knew he was an umarked cop so I slowed down and never passed him.. He slowed down to the point of goin 20 mph.. and I never passed.. Finally.. he pulled over on the side of the road and I went around.. As soon as I passed him he pulled up behind me and tailed me for 4 miles.. the entire time i went 50 mph.. finally a mile before getting home he flicked the light and pulled me over.. He asked me if I knew what the speed limit was and i said 55.. and he asked me how fast I was going and I said 50.. and he said "you know damn well you were going alot faster than that yesterday and the days before that" I was like "If that is the case then why am I getting pulled over today for going the speed limit?" I realized i effed up by talking back cause he went off on a 10 minute rant about how he was gona impound and crush my car.. after he was done he gave me a verbal warning and drove off.. I never saw him again on that road after that day?? kinda freaked me out.. where did he go??

Back in the late 70's when I was living in north Jersey I had a modified 68 Mustang GT that was my DD.

I was on the way home from work on the highway coming up on an entrance ramp with a school bus coming onto the highway. Even though the highway was 2 lanes I did not want to be behind the school bus so I stepped on the gas & passed the bus at over 65-70mph which would have been fine except the was a cop car going slow in front of the bus that I did not see until it was to late . We were near the end of the highway so the cop followed me off & stopped me as soon as we exited & got on the town roads. He takes my license & registration & goes back to his car & after checking my paperwork he walks back to my car & just as he gets to my drivers door a car goes buy & someone in the passing car yells at the cop "pig". The cop tosses my license & registration into my car & says to me consider this a warning & runs back to his car & speeds off. A couple miles down the road he has the car pulled over that the person yelled at him from.

About eight years ago, I went with my cousin in his new-to-him '71 Corvette. We went out to a cotton field on the outskirts of town, and he let 'er rip. We hit about 125mph before running out of field, so he slams the brakes, flips it around three times. We're laughing hysterically, and he turns around, opens it up back the other way.
We did this several times, when suddenly we spot flashing lights behind us. My cousin mutters something not family friendly and steps on the brakes. When the cop stops next to us, he's laughing so hard, I was worried he would pop!

"Boy, you know how fast you was goin'?"
"125-ish, Uncle."
It turned out that the cop was his uncle (his maternal uncle. he's my paternal cousin). He thought it was funny, so, we got off easy. He finally asked
"Hey, wanna race?" and proceeded to throw churned up dirt all over the nice clean 'vette. We still beat him to the road, though.

RTFM!!!

When I got my first ticket for 10 mph over the speed limit, the cop was a raging douche and pretty much threw my ticket at me and told me to pay it by so and so date or else I'd be in court.

I knew he parked in the same spot every few weeks, so for the next 7 months I kept a keen eye for his car in that spot. Never saw it.

Finally one day, about a month after I did the 5-speed swap, I saw him sitting in that spot. I noticed him from a pretty far distance, so I decided to fuck with him. Speed limit is 40 through that area, so I set my speedo to 34mph, which is probably closer to 38 mph after tire corrections.

Once I got up within range to both his radar and to where he could hear my truck, I hit the clutch and dropped the truck into 3rd gear. Truck hit 3k rpms and that flowmaster screamed. I watched his head fly up from his computer, and he glared at me as I passed by him at about 30 mph. Watched him disappear in my rear view mirror and then laughed my ass off all the way home.

One time I was stopped by a cop for going through a red light. The intersection was clear and he was in a good mood and I made him laugh so I got off with a warning. But I get the cops called on me all the time at work

When I was 18, I was driving the local turnpike, and a state trooper came into traffic from an on ramp. He was doing about 85 without the lights flashing, and as a young and ignorant fool, I decided to draft him. If he can drive 85, so could I. He kept eyeballing me in his mirror, and suddenly pounded the pedal to hit something like a buck twenty. I did not follow his example. As I approached the next toll booth, I saw the trooper standing in the middle of the highway. He pointed at me and motioned to the side of the road. I pulled over, and the trooper asked me why I was going so fast. I told him I was merely following his lead, and if speed limits don't apply to him, they don't apply to me.

He said he was speeding because he was on his way to an emergency call. Told him he was lying, because if it had been an emergency, he'd have turned his blue lights on. Also, he would not stop to ticket me if there was an emergency. He then let loose on a tirade of profanity, and I knew I was in the clear. WOuldn't try it today, as cops shoot first and all, but it sure was funny.

When I was about 27 or 28 working as a case manager of the county owned group home (36 bed residential treatment center for at risk youth- basically just bad kids, most of them had DYS commitments over their heads and all but one kid in almost three years we got custody through the juvenile court). I was driving a 1982 280ZX silver over dark blue, and was on I 70 right outside of Springfield Ohio where I was living and working at that time. Anyway I was cruising along, not speeding when I pass this State Highway Patrolman sitting in the median. He pulls out and lights me up.

I pull over, and he gets on the loudspeaker. "Driver, stay where you are!"

So I wait, about 10 minutes and the local city cops and Sherif's deputies pull up. Then the statie says over the loudspeaker "Driver, throw the keys out the window!" I do. "Open your door from the outside, and step out keeping your hands on your head." I do. "Turn all the way around. Now walk back to the sound of my voice!" Full on felony stop.

I'm about halfway from my door to the rear of my car when something comes over the radio. "OK, you can put your hands down. Come on back to the rear of your car, and show me your license and registration, proof of insurance."

Turned out there had been a bank robbery in Springfield and the getaway car was a Dodge Shelby silver over dark blue, and they'd headed in the direction of I 70. The state patrolman said he got the radio call and looked up as I was passing. He figured that the silver over blue hatchback was me, so he pulled me over.

Waited for backup to do the felony stop.

Ended up getting a courtesy card out of it. Pretended I was more freaked out than I actually was.
