Cops following you? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Typically I find that if a cop is following me I've done something to warrant the attention...

dentalprodigy · 04-11-2015, 10:28 PM

Just had this happen to me like an hour ago. Just finished washing and waxing my FRS. Decided to go for a drive.

I'm on the left lane on a 2 lane road going 40 in a 45 mph road (because of traffic). I pass a marked cop in a explorer in the right lane. As soon as I pass him, he changes lanes to get behind me. He got pretty close to my rear bumper so I changed lanes from the left lane to the right lane. Despite having no traffic in front of him, the cop matches my speed and follows alongside me for another 1/2 mile. When he got behind me again, I was certain I was going to be pulled over but thankfully he just took an exit ramp.

I'm pretty sure he ran my plates when he initially got behind me. Thank God the car is registered in my dad's name (60+).

Who knows, maybe he was impressed with my detail job haha

Ive had this happen more in my totally stock 98 civic than I have in my brz. They just run my plates and move on.

Every time i see a red and blue light on my rear mirror i dont stop.
I'd die before i go to the jail again.
Ride or die, remember?

I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot the deputy

I had it happen a LOT in my mustang (loud exhaust), haven't had it happen so far, but only had the car for 5 days.

I had heard that Sheriff John Brown always hated you. Ruining your garden and all was just over the top.

Cops are people too, every now and then they like looking at cool cars...

AznKirby · 04-11-2015, 11:23 PM

Cops are people too, but with too much authority.

dem00n · 04-11-2015, 11:25 PM

I don't know about you guys, but every time i look in my rear view mirror i see cars behind me.

Should i be worried? Maybe write a letter to Toyota?

I have 3 cops approach me (not stop me) just to ask about the car. One even bought me a coffee.

Did you reach a 3 star wanted level and have a helicopter dispatched for you?
