today i got pulled over for doing 110 on the freeway.
he was 2 cars ahead of me and then he got into the slow lane and so did the other 2 cars so i was slowly pulling on him and when i got beside him he flick his siren and gave me a dirty look. so i just kept going and i was like barely pulling on him like maybe 5 kms faster so when i got like 1 car ahead of him he pulled right on my ass for like 30 seconds and then pulled me over. ( it took like 3 kms before i got past him that is how slow i was going). so he comes up and was like what are you doing so i was like what are you talking about and he goes you nkow how fast you where going so i said like 110. and then he was like what is the speed limit on highway 1 so i said 100 and i was like is there any leeway on that and he was like speeding is speeding so i just got fed up and was really mad by then so i just said then give me a ticket so i can go and he goes i dont want to give you one so i said what did you pull me over for. and he was like im in a fully marked cruiser didnt you see me ( which he said like a total of like 6 times) so i said if someone was going 55 in a 50 zone wuld you pull them over to which he said the previous statement again. finally he just let me off and left. i was so mad i was think what was the point of that was it just my car.
Cops like that just get me really mad it is like im just some young punk in a camaro so he feels he needs to make an example of me
:mad: :mad: :mad:

LoL, what happens when you get tix in the USA for speeding? can you just ignore em and not pay them? Everytime I cross over there I go 200KM/h (average) on the I-5

Well I assume its like any other ticket that remains unpaid.

They could throw you in jail. Seriously.

Maybe Ken from the WA police force could chime in.

Ya....they could throw ya in jail....but I have tickets from 92' still unpaid...:confused: ...most WA cops have a thing in for BC plates...8 miles an hour over the speed limit...come on give me a break, 5am in the morning...

:rolleyes:

...one cop thought we had BC bud in the car because he saw a garbage bag in the back...hello we just left the border...they treat Canadian's different...plain and simple...I was very polite as always...but most of them have something to prove. Not all, but some...

BTW...Shaun..you wouldn't be planting a bug in someone's ear would you?

From my experienc, if you get a ticket in the staes and you don't show up to pay it, they put a warrant out for your arrest. It is a good incentive to pay up on time.

I herd that you get the warrent out for your arrest and it is there for eight years and then disappears. But dont speed in that damn country. I know so many people who get pulled over for speeding, which to them is just breaking the LAW and they get tossed in jail. It is no myth has happened to a couple of good friends of mine. Spent a few days there too!!

My understanding is that excessive speeding is handled completely different in the US. Typical speeding is just a ticketing offense, but excessive speed (I can't recall what level that is... 40 mph over?) can result in immediate arrest. I believe it is considered a criminal offense, not a traffic offense, resulting in jailtime.

Streamline, sorry to hear about your day. The biggest problem is how 'inconsistent' cops can be. One will completely ignore you, the next may run you over the coals. Sounds like you met an irrational SOB. I would never expect a cop to waste anyone's time for driving 110 in a 100 zone. Absolutely insane.

Never pass a cop??? I could not disagree more. I pass cops all the time. Regardless of my car. I encourage people to pass cops. I've even laid on the horn intensely at the odd cop that was driving erratically (imo). I certainly don't let their behavior dictate how I drive. You act normal and I think they leave you alone.

What I think the worst thing a person can do is look a cop in the eye while driving :). It's like you never look a mad dog or bear in the eyes as the beast sees this as a potential threat to its power OR as a sign of fear. In either case, it attacks. Just like a traffic cop. :D

Hey Streamline, at least you didn't get a ticket and that's what counts on your driving record. F-bodys are cop magnets. I saw a cop at 4:00 am at a red light coming towards me. Probably shouldn't have been driving after partying but felt I was okay. Anyways, this cop didn't have there headlights on. I flashed my headlights at him and he waved at me going by, we laughed pretty hard cause we where a little worried about getting pulled over. :p

The Caravan is just to quick to go under 90mph ;) :p

The highlight of the trip when that cop seen the garbage bag...."Mind if I take a look in the back..........That looks like a package of BC bud..........Oh it's just Camaro carpet :p"

Streamline: It seems you got pulled over by a complete ass just trying to make an example of you. I am sure he didn't give you a ticket because if you were to dispute that you could easily win.

I do agree with this (very well written Camaro ChriSS). Whenever I am in a similar situation, I just look ahead with a confident look (like I am not doing anything wrong) and this seems to work. When I was younger I got nailed a few times by stupid cops simply for looking at them the wrong way... they thought I was up to something. Good thing they never seem to be around when I am really up to something ;)
