Ever think of running from the police?

This is how the people back home run from cops.

I constantly have to remind myself not to throw my phone out of the window. It's not even a badass thought. It's not even a coherent thought. It's a completely pointless and fairly stupid thought. No matter the case, once I put my phone in the mount, I just don't touch it until I park. I guess that's good right?

Time for an old true story:

I know a guy who was DUI, driving through a college campus. Some clueless college ped got in front of him as he's creeping around a corner and he bumps the ped inadvertently and the ped falls down, gets up, starts to make a ruckus. Driver realizes where this is going, sees an opportunity, guns it and leaves. He gets home, tunes up his police scanner, hears the cops closing in on his house, looks out front, sees cop cars showing up, ducks out the back, walks to police station, turns himself in. Now they can't get him on DUI or leaving the scene. He shows up at a party later, showing off this great huge honking police walkie talkie. "Where'd you get that?" "Stole it at the cop shop."

The incident with the ped results in a court date. He goes to court a couple weeks early, sits through proceedings, kinda dawdles out at the end (last to leave), ducks back in the court room, hides under a bench for hours. Once the place is silent, he locates his court files, pulls em (I am guessing he got inside info here). This being back in the age of paper, that was sufficient, the matter never came up again. He went on to become (wait for it) a brain surgeon.

So there are no records to be set here.

Ha! I sort of ran from the cops once. I say sort of because I didn't actually try to get away, there was just too much traffic for him to pull out onto the road to pull me over. I did make sure I made the next few traffic lights though

I often day dream about it... but I have a Radar which has saved my ass countless of times...

Someone once told me this story…

There was a guy who was about to get a DUI. He was driving drunk and pulled off the road to throw up. He sees a cop pull up with lights flashing. He was only a block from his house, and where he pulled over was a wooded area. As the cop was getting ready to come to the car, the guy sneaks away. He gets home, calls the cops, and reports his car as a stolen vehicle.

Of course I daydream of running from the cops but that daydream somehow it also includes some broken bones, six months with a roommate named Bubba, and my farts going from having a deep full sound to just an old lady whistling sound! That usually calms me down and I just take my ticket with a smile!

WOW GRAPHIC! hahahaha!!

The best I've done is immediately exit the freeway when I know I've been hit with a laser from behind and pull into a drive through or something. That's worked a couple times, but running from them in a BRZ? Hell no.

We had a cav soldier in my old brigade who thought he could outrun them on his motorcycle on I-5. He found out the hard way that like mentioned before, radios outrun everything. They nailed his ass and then he had the delight of facing UCMJ.

Where I live, cops don't bother if your going 200+

I lived in Seattle for 12 years and used to hear about guys on sport bikes leading WSP on 100+mph chases on I-5. Can't outrun police radios and those spotter planes!

Ironically, in the 12 years that I lived there, I've never had a ticket.

it would take so much effort to run!!!!
