Ever tried to evade the cops?

[sbouslog]

I have a rule that if I am on 4 wheels I pull over. If I am on 2 wheels go faster. I don't know if this is true or not but I was once told that there is a no chase rule for motorcycles in Denver. Sold the bikes so now I always pull over. FYI if you pass a cop on I-25 and you are doing 125+ mph by the time you downshift into 4th and pull back the throttle you can't see if they have turned on their lights to follow.

Here's a good story for ya. And yeah it was me, not a "friend", I'll grow a pair and man up to it

Senior year of high school, heading home from a party in the early morning hours.
Buddies had all got hammered, I've never enjoyed being drunk (its a "loss of control" thing for me, I don't like putting myself in positions where I don't have 100% control of myself) so I'd only had a couple beers, and as I was the only sober one there I drove em all home in my buddies car... an early 90's 240sx he'd squeezed around 400hp out of with dual turbos.
We'd dropped off the other two kids and were on our way back to my buddies house. We'd been good friends for years so I new his neighborhood pretty well.
Cop lit up behind us as were were coming up on the entrance to his neighborhood, still don't know what it was for. We were both shipping off for the Army a couple weeks after graduation and knew the tickets we'd be getting would screw that up for us... I wasn't close to drunk but I knew it'd still show up on a breathalyzer and didn't want to lose my shot at the career I'd been planning since middle school, and I certainly didn't want to be responsible for losing his for him.
Cop was about 3-4 car lengths behind us. I slowed down as we came up to the turn for his neighborhood like I was gonna turn in and pull over... soon as I came around that corner I dropped 2 gears and took off. Came around the next corner and killed the lights. There was a guy a block or so down from his place that had a habit of forgetting to close his garage, so I headed there doing about 60 and sure enough it was open. Pulled into the garage, shut it off, and ducked down, cop drove right by. Gave it a few min and headed to his place.

Was is a good idea? Probably not. Would I do it again? Hell no.
But it worked

Only once.....many, many years ago. Didn't work, it was ugly. Destroyed my mom's Delta 88 and three parked pickups, lucky to live through it.

A few times, but now I just pull over. But in my Crown Vic they just smile and wave.

[roberth]

Yes, 3 times in the late 80s and early 90s and I didn't get caught, it helps to know the area you're in and stay off side streets. I rode crotch rockets and I was fearless back then. Never crossed my mind to try it in a car.

I wouldn't even think of trying it now. Too much traffic and cops are too well trained.

[DSB OUTDOORS]

Not me!! But a friend of mine is a crazzzzy man!! He's a great guy and rides a crotch rocket better than any one I have ever seen. He and his friends have been in a couple of movies for their riding abilities. He admitted to me he has run from the cops more than 60 yes 60 times and never been caught!! to my friend!!

Next time I get pulled over, I'm gonna tell em "you'd better let my go officer, I pay your salary!"

I've never understood the whole "cops are evil" mentality that a lot of kids I knew growing up had. Yeah, some cops are dicks, but not all. I've been hassled by cops in a shitty mood for 45 min for a simple 5mph over in a school zone, and I've had cops let me go for running a stop sign cause I pulled over as soon as I saw him before he even had a chance to flash his lights.
Best encounter with the 5-0 I've had was a $200 speeding ticket lol. I put 37s on my truck and forgot to recalibrate the speedometer, so I was going 10 over in a school zone and didn't realize it. Pulled over, cop came up and clearly explained in a reasonable manner that I'd been speeding and then actually showed me the digits on his radar gun as he said it. I told him about the tires and he told me he had to give me a ticket but to fight it and gave me some suggestions on what to say. Wrote up the ticket and that was that, all in about 10 min.

All ya gotta do is get out of their search area for a minute and your wanted level disappears...
