Run-ins with the law

[1ofkind]

When I was 8... me and my friends were making this snow house! OMG it was awsome anyway the sherif came by and told us to stop because this old ugly old rotting bat complained about us throwing snow in the street.

I know nothing to be proud of, but somehow I think its a good expirence to get that law breaker feeling in you. Makes me feel tough and a little daring inside, its actually motivating.

No way those slow *** cop cars can go faster than 155 and it would take them forever to do it anyway

you cannot be convicted of a felony as a minor

Both FALSE.


I have been in my fair share of trouble through the years. As a young kid the police are just looking for a reason to give you grief , and I was more than happy to oblige.

I have to tell you about the absolute luckiest night of my life. It proves one of the above to be false , the other I won't go into....lol

Me and a good friend had been working on a sport bike that we kinda "borrowed" from his dad. The bike wouldn't start because of a bad ignition , among other things. At about 3am we got it running and were so stoked that we decided to take it out for a ride. Neither of us had a helmet on. The bike had no tag. The back tire was almost pure threads. The bike had no headlight.

Well Karma struck and as we were riding down the road we come over a hill and here comes a cruiser the other way. I immediately turn hard right onto a road leading off into a big neighborhood. I peeled back on the throttle for all the bike was worth , a GSX-R with two kids on it. We shot off down the road doing well in excess of 100MPH in mere seconds. With no headlights we were pretty sure we would loose him.As soon as the cruisers headlights hit us , you could just hear the roar of the engine as he caught us like we were sitting still(definately NOT a slow "butt" cop car).

We pulled over in a "semi" court/circle off the side of the road we went down. The cruiser pulls up alongside us and rolls his window down. Its sometime like the middle of Febuary at almost 4 in the morning , we had on Members Only jackets and jeans. Totally freezing our butts off and shivering badly. He instantly asks for a liscense , which I don't have. He asks for insurance , none of course. He asks about all the things I mentioned above like where is helmet? tag? etc....

I proceed to give him the biggest line of BS that was EVER concieved in the entire universe. Basically that we had just got the bike , got it running , yada yada.

He asks " have you boys ever been in trouble with the law?"
We lie and say no.
He then asks where the ignition switch was........we about crapped a brick!
He then says he doesn't even want to know. Wasn't interested in the paperwork we were about to cause him , and asked where we lived.

He was going to escort us home and wake up our parents to let them deal with it. Right as we are about to leave he gets an emergency call and had to go. He tells us he better not see us again and all that and takes off.

We start heading home , reeling in disbelief about how lucky we just got. About halfway there a car comes up behind us really fast. I pull over to let him by and he pulls over with us. Gets out of the car flashing a badge. The other cop had pulled us over in front of this cops house and woke him up. He had heard the whole story. He was raising serious cain about how the other officer was to be repremanded , and was just about to dial the police when his pager goes off. He also gets a high priority call and has to take off.

We ended up getting back home that night just totally numb with shock. We had just gotten away with a wrap sheet a mile long with not just one , but two cops ...and got saved by another crime.

Both FALSE.

They don't call it convicted for anything when you're a minor. It's all about technicalities, learned it in the C.O.P.S.

crown victoria's do not go 155. And they are way heavier than my stang. Sorry your wrong buddy.

I will not debate the 155 in an average cruiser. I haven't personally driven one so I can't say. What I can say is that you would be serioulsly underestimating one to cal them slow. A buddy of mine works for a company that does modifications on police cruisers. He works over all vehicles that are for traffic patrol.Even the cars not designated as Interceptors are pretty darn fast.

So first off , unless you have changed your chip in the stangs puter it won't do a tick over something like 105. Plenty slow enough to be caught by a cruiser. And even if you went and got the chip changed out , or own a pre computer stang , it would take considerable work to outrun one (a cop), and magic to get away from the radio. Loosing the police isn't easy in real life like it is on your favorite version of Grand Theft Auto....

[Warewolf50]

Yep,it is possible to outrun cop cars in your car, but it is quite impossible to outrun the radio and the dreaded helicopter.

Thanks to the many parties I've been to I've had to deal with cops showing up many times. But doesn't everyone.

On another occasion I had just turned 18 about 2 years ago and was leaving school for lunch. The road that I was on was this long straightaway that I had never seen a cop on. I ended up getting pulled over doing nearly 75 in a 30.Ther was no way I was going to be able to plea my way out of that one. To make matters worse when I opened my glove box to get my insurance/registration about 100 bottle rockets and some firecrackers fall out, it's april and nowhere near the 4th of July. I guess my freind Chad decided to stash them there while we were at school without telling me. The cop gave me a bunch of bs about how it was illegal to posses them, blah, blah, blah and that he could arrest me if he really wanted to. But that's just Renton cops for ya.Luckily he only wrote me a ticket for doing 20 over which was $152 and I ended up going to court and fighting it and getting it completely dropped from my record, and I only had to pay $45 for some 3 hour defensive driving course.

Another major run in with the cops was when me and a friend were coming back from Eastern Washington on I-90. Where we were at was out in the middle of nowhere so we were hauln' butt. Apparently we passed an undercover state trooper in a white volvo station wagon doing 115mph in a 70 and didn't notice him following us with his lights on for almost 20 minutes. Needless to say he was quite unhappy with us. The first words he said when he walked up to the window, and this is no joke, is "get the 'f' outta the car now!!!" I thought for sure my friend chris was going to jail for wreckless driving but excaped with only a neglagent in the 2nd degree for doing 105 in a 70 which was a $500 ticket.

Only to those with morals.

Ummm, no, you've still broken a law. I didn't say you had to feel bad about it, just that if you didn't get caught then you wouldn't get punished.

[bubbleman441]

I killed a man once but I've never been caught.

[Warewolf50]

I do what i want drugs sex murder, ill do what i want. I dont care about the law. I kill 5 men. (slight revision of cartmens speach on soutpark while on a talk show.

Was it in Reno? And did you do it just to watch him die?

[amoeba]

i had a funny run-in

it so happens when i started playing paintballl....
so me and my friends were gonna play the next weekend and we seemed to have no money for paint. so we decided and planned up a thought of stealing paint....

a few hours later.....


a cop is taking you home for trying to steal 2 cases of paint...
and i actually walked out the store with them... haha


amen... what comes around, comes around

crown victoria's do not go 155. And they are way heavier than my stang. Sorry your wrong buddy.

dude, weight doesn't matter

its all about (power/weight) and the gearing

I could get a 3.5 hp briggs motor up to 155 if i had the right gearing and a long enough peice of road.

its all power to weight

and you think that interceptor motors are stock?
think again kid.

I found a webpage once that broke down the top speeds of the police cars.

The lower-end normal cars, ie, patrol cars, top out around 124. Thats fast enough to catch most of your average speeders out there.

A bunch of the highway interceptors will hit the 130s-140s. You don't find too many people speeding faster than that.

The fastest police cars were the camaros they made for the police, those topped out in the mid-160s.

Plus, while the cars may be heavy, they have tons of torque, so they can accelerate fairly fast.

By the way, any vehicle Ford puts on the road, including your Mustang, is capped to ~117 mph unless you get a custom chip. I believe the Mach1 may not be capped, but other than that, you aren't gettin away if he really wants to chase you.

Not to mention the helicopter.

you forgot the thing that no cars can outrun.... the radio
