Ever think of running from the police?

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

With the asinine volume of vehicles on I-5 at any given time, chances are they've already pulled someone over before they have a chance you nail you. It's like a 1-6 ratio of cops trying to pull people over versus cops already writing tickets. They don't have to wait long to catch someone enraged at the assclowns doing 5 under in the fast lane.

Having worked with highway patrol officers before, (not a cop, I was in their IT dept) if they want to catch you there's a very good chance they will.

On my way home from the office one day in moderate traffic, I saw a SCHP officer on the shoulder with a laser pinging traffic. Someone in a Fit flew by going about 10 mph faster than everyone. I saw him drop the gun and hop in his car, blue lights flipped on and I knew he was going after him. I mentioned moderate traffic because it'd be easy to blend into the sea of silver and white and get off on one of the many ramps. Fit guy gets a good 1/4 mile away and out of sight - I know because I lost sight of the trooper as well. He skipped the first offramp, Frogger'd through traffic a bit, and then got off of the highway and turned at the light. The cop clears traffic like the Red Sea, jumps off of the interstate, speeds down the road, and pulls up right behind the Fit as he's going to make his second turn. Nailed him.

I had my license suspended for a year because of IL's stupid two moving violations before 21 law. Fuck if I'm ever going to have it taken away again.

Couple decades ago? No comment.

In the militarized police state we live in today? No.

it would all depend how fast you were going a law enforcement regulations

some police forces have speed limits for their officers since in some areas they are not allowed to have high speed chases


for me i have though about it, i did get a pretty hefty ticket in the past(got dropped) but had i kept my foot in it i could have made it around the corner and into a drive way and they wouldnt have my plates due to speed, easiest way is to not speed

i can vouche for it doing 140kmh in an 80kmh zone late at night its not worth it.

Yea I remember a news reports here in NYC years ago. The cop witnessed a hit and run and the guy started running. He began pursuit but then the dispatcher told him not to chase. Then the guy crashed into a fence

[whitefrs]

I've only had one situation where it may have been a viable thought. That thought didn't even cross my mind. Slow traffic in left two lanes, open on the right with gaps in the middle in front of me that would let me through once I passed on the right, so I got over, dropped two gears and hit 90. I used the gaps to get back in the left lane and that's when I saw the cop, though he was on the opposite side of the barrier.

As soon as I saw him I jumped back into the right lane, signaling properly both lane changes and dropped to 65. I watched my rear view mirror or the next 5 exits, nothing. I thought for sure they had me. *Shrugs*

BTW people, due to statutes of limitations, stuff you did in the past is no longer eligible for any sort of legal repercussions. So feel free to share any lewd tales from the past...or maybe tales that you "heard about from a friend"

Well, I thought maybe the cop saw me drop immediately back to 65 instead of keeping my pace, and the fact that my lane changes were perfect saved me. Then again, since he was on the other side of the interstate, maybe I misjudged where he was pointing the radar. Either way, running was the furthest thing from my mind.
