i pulled a state troop off a center divide after he followed me for 4 mile running my plates and tailgating like no tomorrow i mean it was so bad i couldn't even see his headlights.
Now how he got on the center divide, well in New Jersey we have highways with center divide like 7 inches high and people other then emergency officials off-road on to get to get to an exit 4 lanes over form express lanes to local lanes. I know many people here know if its to high you slow down and go over one tire at a time, well this cop miss that lesson in driving school he hit it balls off and high centered the crown vic on the highest part at at like 75mpg the sparks and metal grinding, man he destroy whole underside lol he lucky i wasn't the a-hole type to leave a person high and dry and i got to drive backwards on a highway lol.
i was transporting my car back to storage since i had just taken it to get inspected. at the time i had a suspended license. no insurance and the hood was straped down with 2 ratchet straps.. (long story).. car starts to sound like its ganna run outta gas and im about 1/4 mile from where i need to be. so i step on it a lil bit to pass this car so i can get in the left lane and turn. well as soon as i hit the gas i see the state boy.. to late i was already going 10 over and that was b4 i was trying to pass the other car. so now im doing about 15 to 20 over the speed limit which was 55.. the state boy cuts down threw a steap incline median.. and the light infront of me turns yellow.. i think to myself i can make it.. then think if i dont thats just another ticket. so i slow it down for the light but hes still not behind me just yet. light turns green i take off like normal like i didnt notice he was following me. i go to make the left turn and he right behind me lights on so i stop.. he gets out and he asks for my license registration where im going and where i was comming from. i tell him that my license was suspended i gave him the registration and i told him that the car was just inspected and i was bringing it back to park it. (this was my 3rd time getting stoped with a suspended license.. in va thats automatic jail).. well there i am sitting in the car shaking thinking that im about to go to jail for the first time act... and he comes back to the car and gave me a ticket for a broken speedo and said that if he catches me driving again that he was going to arrest me and take my car, i didnt know what to say.. this man had my life in his hands and he decided to give me a break (first time i ever got one from a cop) he got back in his car and left... later that night me and my gf were leaving in her camaro (which is almost the same as mine only shes got a 6 and not an 8)and there he was parked right outside my road waiting.. we pulled out he turned his lights on.. came up to the window and b4 he relized who was driving he said I THOUGHT I TOLD U THAT IF I CAUGHT U DRIVING AGAIN THAT I WAS GANNA TAKE U IN.??? (he gets to window) O HI MISS I THOUGHT THAT WAS HIM DRIVING HAVE A NICE NIGHT MAAM.. havent seen him since.. so all in all i consider myself lucky cause he could have givin me about 8 tickets that day and still took me in and took my camaro on top of it all..
I remember i went to a street race down in Compton and i was next to race a honda accord and soon as the driver in front of me started burning tires the cop pulled next to me. Everybody just ran and i started driving away but the cop was closing in on me when this red honda civic started speeding on the opposite side of the road so the cop stopped and started to chase the honda. It was super close.
Not too long ago, in my 3rd gen. I came to a stop sign and when I looked across the way I saw some ******* kids playing outside in thier yard. I siad to myself "I think I show off for the *******s(I'm one too.....I can say it). So I wait for the car in front of me to pull off (A really nice new pretty ,dark blue Impala) and he did. he didnt have far to go and neither did I. Turn on one road and turn off 40 yards or so onto the next and turn again(Left turn then right).Well.........I bring the mighty 305 out in the road sideways with smoke show'n! I strighten up and continue down to the next turn. I noticed the guy in the Impala looking really hard in the rear view and that he had slowed way down on the on ramp. As I drew closer I begain to notice some very small blue strobe lights right below the roof line, tucked away nice and neat and VERY Descrete! Well.........we pulled on out onto the main highway and he wouldnt go above 55. It just so happens the speed limit on this road is 65. I just fell in behind him and refused to pass. He then took an exit which also had an on ramp across from the top of the exit ramp which I fully expected him to come back down behind me. Well, he didnt lucky me!
This was a number of years ago, when I had my first car, a 1969 Cutlass S (455 Rocket under the hood, sigh). We had this town marshal, who we called Papa Smurf (old guy in blue, not very original, I know, but we were teens).
One snowy night, he was sitting up town in front of the fire station, where he spent most nights hanging out drinking coffee with his wife in the car. I dropped my car down a gear, tromped it for a few donuts right in front of him, waved and sped off.
He did not catch me. But I nearly died of fright getting away, lol.
When I would see him after that, he wouldn't even acknowledge what had happened. Until one day when I was home on leave from the Army and I ran into him. He asked me if I still had that Cutlass that was so good in snow and winked at me.
Ahhh, the good old days...

you MUST be lucky...the cops down here NEVER give me a break. My lawyer goes to fight my latest ticket the end of next month
What about that Bedford cop who set you up, basicaly ran you, then pulled you over and told you to "Slow it down" "Didnt know it was a cop car....Did you?"
you're right that was the ONE time I was let off. That probably would have been BAD if they threw the book at me lol. Just recently had to get my driving abstract for the lawyer and it shows 2 speeding tickets in a week in '04 when I first moved here, a tint ticket in '07, a speeding ticket in the friggen FJ in '07, and the speeding ticket a couple months ago.
OH wait, there was one other time I got let off. I just got my hood/bumper painted and a good ole bedford boy camped out on 460 near the trooper station pulled me for no front plate. Told him I just got the bumper painted and he let me go....
OK, so maybe im more fortunate than I think, and maybe I just drive too fast sometimes
Well i don't know if it was luck or just the fact that the cop wasn't observant. I was coming home from helping my brother and it was about 10pm. I was behind this BMW that was going a little slower than i usually went on this stretch of road. The road i was on went from 2 lanes to one when it went over a bridge then back to 2 right before a light. So right before the bridge i passed the BMW doing probably 50 when he was doing maybe 30. after crossing the bridge the road went back to two lanes and i began to slow down for the light. right as i did the same BMW comes flying past me probably doing 70 then slams on his brakes to stop at the light. i pulled casually up to the light in the right turn only lane while he was next to me in the lane going straight. i look over and what do i see, a car full of college age idiots probably tooling around in the dads 3-series. Me being a college freshman myself i decided that flyby was definitely not going un-answered. so even though i was in the right turn only lane as soon as the light turned green i broke the tires loose and peeled out infront of them cutting across to go straight. as soon as i crossed the intersection i noticed Needhams finest in the oncoming lane. I thought oh ****, he just saw everything. but as i passed him nothing happned, no u-turn, no flashing lights. WOW talk about oblivious
I had just bought my 91 rs from a guy in santee. we worked out a deal since he hadnt registered it since like 04 (this was in 06) he wanted to take the front clip off and put it on something else yadda yadda ya. so, drive i home fine, and leave it sittin around till i get the money to current registration. well i DID add it to my insurance but figured in the mean time theres nothing wrong with goin down the street to local corner store, etc. me and the wife go to blockbuster one night down the street. it was late and a cop pulls behind me and im like **** i hope he doesnt catch it. he did... lights me up and i pull into a side street with run down houses/apts. I play the "im from another state and in the military" and not sure what a smog is and hes like ohhh i see well just get a smog and then make sure you register it or get a temp slip to put in the window. nicest cop ever, him and his partner and he was real young. so im like ok i can do that and i apalogize then he hands me back my DL and runs off to the side walk and grabs this dude walking im like wtf? either i got lucky and this guy just did something in front of the cop down the street? or thats why he didnt waste his time with me, or maybe he got a call about this dude and happened to be there. weirdest thing ever i ask my wife if she saw what this guy did and shes like i dunno i guess the dude was walking or running and just happened to get wrapped up by the cops that were interrogating me. no use of sticking around since he just let me go so i busted a U and went to blockbuster and went home. crazy night.
One night i was out on a stretch of road next to my old elementary school. it was empty besides the car behind me. at the stop, i pull out my phone and start the stop watch, and punch it. i was doing a 0-60 run but there was enough road i was able to hit 92mph and then i saw the blue lights.
i pulled over, and waited. Hes walking up and he says "I can still smell that burnt rubber, what happened?" i said "i dont know officer" he asked for my license, took his time, came back and said "you are 17, who pays your insurance? if i give you a ticket it will go up" i tell him that i pay for it, and he tells me "well ill give you a warning, because a 92mph in a 35 will get your license pulled since you are a minor"
i thank him, hand shake and a have a good night and we were on our ways. turns out he was in a charger car, the lights were hidden. First time to get pulled over, and a lesson learned
as for the 0-60, about 7.53 secs. that would of been a costly 0-60 run
I had a 98 f150 2wd 5.4 triton. I had just came through town with 3 bras hanging from my mirror and 3 naked girls in my truck. Me and my buddies had a great night lol. But before I had dropped the girls off they had picked up a big bag of weed and they had lots of pills on them. I had dropped them off went to walmart and cleaned out my truck where I had found pills they dropped and threw them out. Me and my 2 friends went to the Mexican restaurant and met up with a few other people and when I left i did a posi burnout from one side of the parking lot to the other and as i was sideways about to go into the road 2 cops drove by. The cops u-turned and got behind me and pulled me over. He said "You were coming out of that parking lot pretty fast weren't you?" I said yeah i was just show in off he told me the reason he pulled me over was because my license plate light was out. also I was on a restricted license I was out later than I was supposed to be and I had 1 more person in the truck than I should have. After searching my truck he let me go off with out a ticket when he could of got me for reckless driving, license plate light being out, being out later than im supposed to, having to many people in the truck. I Hate to think of what would of happened if those girls were still with me.
also I went to a street race one night and the cops busted it up me and my friend took off and as we did a nice blue bmw that was racing cut us off and went through the side of a barn and he jumps out of the car and takes off running and 3 cops tackle him. Me and my friend that just sat there and watched and just drove off lol. Im glad I didnt race that night I had a 76 kz 900 That had a lot of work done to it. I would of lost it for sure that night
i have a good one,about a year ago the cop tried to stop me on the freeway,then i had a 383 stroker motor 700r tranny inner cooler cold air intake super charger and nos so they clocked me at 182mph still accelerating and i only stopped cuz i rain out of straight away room but i never new they were after me.i no icoulda hit a good 240 b4 my carb would lock up but they were pissed because in upland cali the police dep all drive charger r/t and srt8 which do 160 with ease but they stood no chance at catching me,so they take my motor fined me 2500 and make me get a 305 then i see the same cop who still has my 383 in his 73 nova (he lives down the street) and twice in his nova and cop car going thru a yellow light and at the pomona fair way race track i still smoked him wih a stock 305 and 350 turbo tranny.now my car is subject for random saftey checks win ever an officer wants to check my car to make sure there is nothing none street legal on the engine.so now i get pulled ove almost every day.
I think that is the most idiotic thing i have ever read
but any ways i dont really mess around on the streets anymore. But when i use to i never got lucky i still have a whole stack of tickets to prove it.
Guess i've been lucky quite a few times but will post two. Once was before i got my RS i was in my 88 Fiero Formula with a buddy of mine racing a s/c regal from one town to the next in a 45mph zone passed a police station but since i had just got my license and being young didn't really care about that "what if's" anyway we got out to this nice long stretch of road when this tan impala flies up behind us so i got in the lane behind the regal expecting both of them to go at it but the race never happened and my buddy an i couldn't figure out the reason why, well lets just say about 20 seconds later when the impala got in my lane i decided to be mr.cool and go speeding by him and the regal at 110 a little later down the road i look in the rearview and see the flashing red and blue at the point i'm like "you gotta be f'n kidding me" so i pull over and the cop comes up to my window and tells me that he could take my license right then an there but instead he says "well since you're being a nice guy i'm going to let you go with a warning".
The other time is after i had just got my rs. i was messing around with a few friends of mine, and a buddy and i were running about 65-70 in a 35mph zone we were both about to gun it when a sheriff comes up to the right of us with his lights on and yells at my buddy to slow before taking back off on his merry way lol. i thought for sure i was f'd that night but i guess he wanted to get the import guys in front of us with the lead foot.
Ok, so i was on the highway in the second lane goin about 75 in a 65 area. So as im passing by some blackish/blue 4 door ford, he sppeds up and stays beside me. I look at him, he seems like a guy in his late 20s that would do a friendly race so i revve'd my engine a bit and mashed the gas pedal to the floor. He hangs back but quickly followed. After about 10-15 secconds he was beside me and looks at me and chuckles. then he flashed on his lights and flicked his sirens. It was an under cover cruiser lol. To my surprise he shut the lights off and we slowed down to 65 and he just drove away. That was my closest call with the cops, but it was a funny memory though
One night I was outside a 7-11 and every now and then down here I will see an interstate narcotics interceptor crown vic. These things sound real mean with loud *** exhaust and you can tell they're cammed. I've seen the same cop and same car at that 7-11 before. We both go out of the 7-11 at the same time and get into our cars. I start mkine and rev it a little. He starts his cruiser and let's loose on the exhaust, he then backs out, revs a couple of times and does a burnout out of the 7-11 parking lot.
Luckiest:
I was hanging out with a racing crew I hang out with down here that gathers once a week every friday night. Like 60 - 70 cars. After the meet me a couple buddies and random dudes decide to go do something stupid. It's me, my buddy in his Vr-4, his buddy in a base model RSX, a turbo civic and some dude in a pickup truck. We all drive down the road and gather in this neighborhood. Mr base model RSX challenges the trubo civic to a race. VR-4 drives down the road to be raced to scout for cops and comes back 5 minutes later to report the road is clear.
Well we all take off down the road, make a U-Turn at the light and start heading back the other way. RSX and turbo civic get side by side, honk 3 times then take off from a 30MPH roll. We all are keeping up behind them to see who wins, when we all BLOW BY a county cruiser going the opposite direction. We get back to the neighborhood we started at and park and turn our lights off. We're talking for a minute, then off in the distance we see the cop driving up the way we came. We all thought, "Ah he's probably gonna heads towards the parkway to see which way we went. All of a sudden he hook s a left turn and starts driving down in our direction. We all were like @_@ jump into our cars and scatter like roaches through all the culdesac's of the nieghborhood. Everyone got away. He probably still looking for us .
Stupidest/Luckiest:
The day I bought my car was the first and only day I got pulled over. I had a one way trip permit in the back window since it had no plates. This means I was to drive the car from point of sale to HOME with no trips in between. Well, like the genius I am I decide on the way from the point of sale, I will drive it to work (At this time a shift manager at local pizza hut) which is only 5 minutes away from my house, then drive it home AFTER my shift is over this way I have a chance to show it off. I hide it behind the shed and clock in. Throughout the day, I am showing everyone my new ride and going in and out of the building behind the shed.
Nightfall hits And It's 10:30. My ex girlfriend is there waiting for me to get off and I look outside to see about 5 town cruisers roaring towards my neighborhood with their lights and sirens blaring. Turns out they just raided a crack house. I think OH CRAP WTF!? HOW AM I GONNA GET HOME!? I decide to hang out and shoot the **** with fellow employees and buddies across the parking lot at the local ice cream parlor. I pick up me and ex a couple of shakes and before you know it an hour and a half has gone by. So I start coming up with this huge diabolical scheme. I figure, "OK. Enough time has gone by. If I slip out the back way of the parking lot, cut across the street through the gas station, drive up through the shopping plaza (Which unbeknowngst to me they JUST moved the police station to a couple weeks earlier ), make a left onto Rt.1 and hook a right taking the backway through my neighborhood, I'll be out of sight and simultaneously avoid police hotspots.
Well, me and the ex get into the new fangled car and I start the engine. Being the stupid testosterone driven male I am I just HAD to show off and rev the engine up to 5000RPM. As I am backing out, I notice I had caught alot of attention in the parking lot. I'm like, "Sweeeeeet. Everyone loves me!". I drive the car exactly 20 feet and see lights and sirens. THERE WAS A FREAKING UNMARKED CAHRGER IN THE PIZZA HUT PARKING LOT! I turn the car off and the douchebag officer who is a real **** walks up to the side of the car. He tells me to roll my window down so I turn the ignition to on to power the windows. He then get's real jumpy thinking I'm about to run. After I roll the window down He then proceeds to ask, "Why ain't you got no plates on this here auto-mo-bile". I proceed to tell him I had just bought it and that there was a trip permit in the back window.
BTW, Now would be a good time to mention that if any trips are taken with the vehicle other than point A to point B on that permit the car will get impounded.
So this idiot cop, who looks like a wanna be duke nukem (who we call puke nukem), begins asking me if I was drinking or was on any drugs. He takes my ID, then asks me how old my ex was. When I told him 18, he must have thought I liked em young or something cause he took her ID too to check. He then comes back and starts to open his arrogant mouth again, when the sargeant pulls up in a marked charger. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? LEAVE HIM ALONE HE'S THE MANAGER HERE WE WON'T GET FREE PIZZA NO MORE!!!". "Oh, Uhm... You work here?! That's all you had to say!". He then makes one last dumbass remark saying that he would, "Have to have a bionic eye to see the trip permit in the back window". I told him I was just placing it where DMV instructed, and everyone was on their way after that.

Well it was not a cop it was a NJ toll booth operator, I was playing with a newer BMW M3 in my 87 T-top Iroc on the NJ Turn pike and was "making really good time" the BMW turns off at the service plaza and I keep going to the toll booth, turn my ticket in and then the toll both operator begins the speech about turnpike racing and how this is not place for or the time and how she could go get the Nj State Police, , what ever she took my money and that was it, but I had a blast with that M3
I had just finished putting my '89 IROC together a few days before and was still workin some things out with it. Decided to do a little test & tune about 2 miles from town.(At the time I lived in a very small town in SW Missouri) Gave it the full 1/4 run to see how things felt and just as I slowed down to 60 I hit the top of a hill and passed a County Sheriff flying the other way. He instantly hit his brakes when I passed him, though he couldn't turn around yet(thank God for 2 lane roads with no shoulders). In light of this fact I decided to take my chances makin back to my house before he can catch up. I flew into town and raced down my driveway, pulled into my garage and as me and my friend get out to shut the garage door we see the Sheriff pull up to the stop sign on my corner. He paused for a second trying to decide which way to go and finally turned right and floored it not knowing he would never catch me. Little too close for my taste, but I enjoyed it none the less!
Not a 3rdgen, but still a good story. My brother was driving a bike doing about 80 on a freeway in downtown Chicago. Cop pulled up tight behind him, hit the siren and the lights. Instinctively, my brother hit the brakes. All of a sudden, he hears tires screech and sees the cop car sliding sideways, just nearly missing him. He just casually keeps on going - never saw the cop again...That night, he relays this story not realizing that I drove through the same area about 5 minutes after he did. I tell him that I had seen a cop car in that area - on the side of the road - buried up to its axles in mud. At the time, I just chuckled at seeing a cop car stuck, putting the 2 stories together, we know what happen and both have a pretty good laugh.
This was in the 70s. My uncle and his friend, both in ss chevelles, stopped at the start of the bridge and raced. They were going around 80+, and suddenly my dad pulls right into the middle of them, stands up on his motorcycle, and taps both of their roofs! It was insanely dangerous, but awesome.
Another time my uncle was driving home drunk, in a stingray, and my dad flies by him with the motorcycle. But he's going so fast that the motorcycle is dragging on the ground, creating a huge line of sparks. After about 10 minutes of driving my uncle spots about 10 state troopers way up ahead, chassing sparking streak. My dad got away, stashed his bike in and elderly couples barn(he didn't even know them) ran home and went to bed. The cops come to their house(They all know him) and ask my uncle if my dad is there. He comes up, and they ask him if his bike is around. He tells them he let his friend borrow it and doesn't know where he went. And they tell him to have a goodnight and leave.
Then when he got drafted he was stationed in Germany and met the autobahn.
lol he lucky i wasn't the a-hole type to leave a person high and dry and i got to drive backwards on a highway lol. 
What about that Bedford cop who set you up, basicaly ran you, then pulled you over and told you to "Slow it down" "Didnt know it was a cop car....Did you?"
