My cop story: I was at the local meeting place, just before I left for school. A buddy of mine and one of his friends want to go for a ride and see if the other guy wants to race me. I was in a racing mood really bad that night so I say sure. We pile in, leave the parking lot, I turn left onto the street and nail it. I go down, make the first turn around, and he says do it again. So I naturally do, I get up to about 70 in a 35, maybe even higher, not sure, as I'm slowing down past about 60, I look up and see head lights, then I look up a little higher and see the friggen light bar. So I'm thinking, "oh ****, this is great, just before I leave I go to jail for excess speed and reckless endangerment." Anyway, all three of us are watching the mirrors looking for break lights. sure enough, just as I'm about to turn back into the parking lot, he turns around. This immediately gets my heart racing, knowing that he saw me. But amazingly, he didn't turn on his lights. I turn into the parking lot and act cool, but as soon as I get behind the bulding, I nail it, go flying across this mostly empty parking lot, hang another right into the Walmart parking lot, haul *** to the back, park and run into Walmart. All three of us are like holy crap we just ran from the cops! We hang out there for about 20 minutes, then walk back over to the parking lot where everyone meets. Turns out the cop had come into the parking lot, circled about 4 times, went across the street into another parking lot, looked around, and finally left about 10 minutes later. Needless to say he was looking for my ***, and needless to say I was scared ****less, but it sure was fun as hell. Talk about an adrenaline rush! I think its an experience everyone should do once, just to say they did it, then never do it again. but thats just me

I have a story cop also, not really racing a cop but anyway.
I was doing burnouts and doughnuts in a mall parking lot and smoke was everywhere, the mall was closed because it was around 12 midnight. anyway after i saw the mall security coming towards me i started to get my car out of there. So i was at the light waiting to turn left to get the heck out of there and and mall security pulls up to the right of me. I was looking straight ahead knowing that he was most likely looking at us, anyway the light turned green and i got the heck out of that situation. Once we were safe (mall security can not leave the mall area) my friend said he was telling you to stop, but since i did not see his lights or could not hear him i kept on going. Too bad the day after that i wrecked my camaro

The times i am at a light with a cop i dont dare do anything, i dont need any more points, my 3 points from the accident are off my record soon, if not already.

i was driving one of my friends home when another one of my friends, who was following me in his bonneville, turns into the illegal lane and tries to pass me. i dont like when people do that,, so i gun it and walk away from him. we both make a right onto my friends road when i see red lights go on behind his car. a cop pulled him over (i guess he passed us when my friend tried to pass me...we were going about 80 in a 45) and i wasnt about to wait around to see him come after me. i make a quick right into a developement and gun it, make another right and park in another one of my friends driveways, get out and ran behind the house. i was soooo freakin scared.....we stayed there for about 15 mins then i went home. scariest thing ever.....

I was scheduled to loose my license in a couple of days and I already had one ticket that hadn't beeen finalized yet. I am driving home at about 3 in the morning from a friends house. I am not drunk/high or andything else, maybe just a little tired but that really has nothing to do with the story. I am going down a very long and straight piece of road that is extremely close to my house. As I make my way towards my house, I see flashing blue and red lights behind me. I couldnt believe it. I did nothing wrong, but for some reason, the cop was out to get me. The cop being the moron that he was, put his lights on when he was about a half a mile behind me. I was about to go over a slight hill so I said to myself, "screw this" and punched it. I was speeding back to my house so I wouldn't get pulled over; after all, I cant afford another ticket. I turn down the street taht I live off of and punch it. as I am almost out of view, I look in the rear view only to see the cop turning where I had just turned. Well, I end up doing about 80 mph (which is a big deal in my truck) down the second to last road I needed to be on. I went over another hill (lots of hills by my house) and turned down my street. There isn't enough room for me to park in my driveway, so I parked on the street. I parked and ran to my house. just as I got to my front door, I looked to the street I had just turned off of and saw the cop fly by. I had touble getting to sleep that night to say the least.

I was driving up this hill at about 75 in a 55 zone in my former Honda Civic Wagon a few years ago... this is a main highway two lanes in either direction... it was about 7:30 it was probably october and raining outside. There was sparse trafic in my direction and I was passing everybody... well I was about to go around this big bend and I see a car going the opposite direction slam on it's brakes and the good old light bar lights up as he comes to a turnaround... well I dissapeared around the bend at that instant yanked it into the slow lane and immediately dropped to 55 MPH... about 2 seconds later the cop blasts past me at about 90 MPH... I still wonder to this day if he wanted me or it was just a coincidence...

This winter, I was going out to my friend's house. He lives 5 miles out of town on a really sh*tty 2-lane highway with no shoulders. It's around 9, so it's pitch black. Coming out of town, I punch it, and get up to around 110 in 55. All of a sudden I see lights turn on in a field right behind me, and somebody whip out of the field. I punched it, and went to 135, the max my car will do with my 3.90 gears. Over the bumps, my car was going airborne alittle, and when I got to my friend's house, I whipped in behind his house and parked. The cop flies over the hill 10 seconds after I'm out of sight and continues past. I was shaking all night.

Being the moron that you were, you ran when the cop was going after someone else, maybe you were drunk/high and felt guilty

...felt guilty enough to tell us you werent when it wasnt part of the story!

just messing with ya, not really calling you a moron or accusing you, but did you ever wonder if maybe he didnt originally set out to get you, but when you ran he did. Cops dont like to run with lights on for the most part when the dont have to, they'll trail you for a while then flip them on to pull you over.

true but it was 3 in the morning how many people were out..........

i have ran from the cops about 6 times.
got away every time knock on wood.
one time i was doing donuts in a movie theater parking lot, and a cop coming off of the freeway saw me. i stopped doing donuts and hauled *** outta there, long story short i got away.

then one time i am in a neighborhood and its slightly wet so i decide what the hell nobody is around i wil go sideways around this turn. i punch it and am sideways around the corner and once i straighten up what do i see? a brand new camaro texas highway patrol car coming my direction. i panic and when he is about 20 yrds in front of me still i slam on my brakes (last minute decision) to make a turn. one of the front tires got in a water puddle, locked up the tire, then got onto somewhat dry street and screeched loudly. the cop doesnt follow me and i get on a main road. (there are many cops around this area, and more then one new camaro). i am going down the road when i see another camaro car going in the opposite direction. this isnt the same guy, but im still worried. he looks right at me and after we pass i look in the rear view to see he just turned on his lights. but since the traffic is somewhat heavy he cant just bust an immediate u-turn to come get me. so i haul *** out of there. maybe he wasnt after me, but it sure is strange that he looks right at me when we drive by each other and then turns on his lights..........
all the other times i ran is just when it was relatively easy to get away. i have been pulled over quite a few times, so its not like i run everytime. only when i am confident enough that i wont get caught, and im halfway safe.

I was sitting at a red light one night, I had just done 60 in a 30. I was the first car in the line, with about 3 cars behind me. An older guy in the truck next to me rolls down his window and told me that there was cops behind us and I should probably turn off... So what does my friend do? He gets and leans way out of the door. They shined the spotlight on my friend as he ducked back into the car. I noticed their lights were on and my friend said "Yup it's the cops. Just run the light!" I told him no I didn't want to REALLY **** em off and have no mistake that they were really after me.

Anyway the guy in the truck said for me to hurry up and go. I told him thanks. He was cool for an older guy. Must have been a hot rodder in his day and knew what it was like to be in my shoes.

So I se the other light turning yellow...as it turned red I launched @ 3500rpm just as my light was turning green. Perfect launch, however it was one of those times when I cursed myself for thinking I'd ever be happy with what I'd get out of an L03. I look in the rear view mirror to see the old guy behind me, taking his time in changing lanes to keep the traffic behind me and the cops behind the traffic! What a cool old guy!

Anyway I turned off and went down an ally turned off my lights and was doing about 30 down an ally. Some old lady told us to "SLOW THE *** DOWN!" and my friend screams back "WERE BEING CHASED BY THE COPS!!!" in the funnyest voice ever! Bottomed out real bad... about 3 blocks later we parked in a dark spot under a tree in an ally, shut my lights off, as we watch a cop car slowly drive by about a block away.

That was the scariest night of my life.
