I've got a couple of cop friends... but I still hate cops. My cop friends I like as people and think they are totally cool. But the regular traffic cops I think are lower than low... there is a difference between law enforcement and traffic cops... they need to get a real job.

Awesome story, I had my own run in, went almost the exact same way. Ticket was never turned in. He made sure he scared me pretty good before letting me go though, then eased up and started talking about how he used to be the same way.

Some officers are definitely good guys, I owe him a beer for sure.

I went up there for my graduation n took my vette, and my buddy met up with me to go to my grad and he's got 6xxhp in his. Anyway, we were dicking around in traffic. I only got up to about 95. We weren't racing, whats the point, it's like taking a smart car up against a stock f body. We were leapfrogging in the left lanes. once we got to the next town, they stopped us and arrested us saying we were doing 145 on the highway (at 4pm on a major highway), arrested us and impounded our cars. I spent the night, and my friend that plus the following. My gf posted my $5,000 bail, and her friend did mine the following day. They tried to say that our cars were modified for street racing...all i had was exhaust, cold air intake, brakes n rotors. At the scene, they lifted up his hood to reveal his newly installed supercharger. Anyway to make a long story short, they kept the cars for 6 months, we had to go up there in december for court for them to decide what they wanted to do. They were trying to take the cars from us to auction them off, and put us in jail for a month. They were either going to do that or take the cars and crush them. So they couldnt find an order keeping the cars, so they released them to us saying we're not allowed in/ or to drive in canada for 3 years, about $3k in fines, and we had to tell them where we were staying each time we were there. So the following day we had to find friends to drive our cars down to the border, which we got to the border at 9pm. We then had to drive all the way down to delaware. We drove through ny with no problem, and then through a blizzard in pa. We got stranded at a closed down covered gas station somewhere in mid pa. At like 5am we got back out on the highway that hadnt really been plowed, drove till 7 with my friend on fumes. we found a gas station and hotel. got back up at 9am, and then at 10am the weather had lightened up and roads were clear, so we drove 4 more hours to get home. This is the diet coke version. The following morning I drove to florida, then the next day to tx, then the next back to az. Made the front page of the papers up in canada and everything. it was nuts

**** that, I'd demand that you call his supervisor and they issue you a street racing ticket, go ahead and drop your car off to me, I'll hold it for the 30 days.
