Re: Cops Tailgating!



I have a cop tailgating story as well.  About 4 years ago at 1:30 in the
morning I was on my way home.  I had a friend with me.  I was driving at the
posted speed limit when suddenly this car started tailgating me.  I had my
friend look to see if there was a light bar or if it looked like a cop car.
He did not think it was a cop.  I then slowed down a little hoping that the
driver of the car would get the message.  The driver didn't  they just got
closer.  I then just punched the brakes hard and then stomped the gas.  I
accelerated back up to the posted speed at full throtle.  I assumed the
driver would get the message.  That, however did not happen.  The car started
tailing me again.  So, again I repeated the brake and gas procedure.  This
person was really starting to tick me off.  The person still didn't get the
message.  They were back on my tail immediately.

So, There were two stoplights comming up.  They were timed where the second
light turned yellow just before the first light.  I decided to loose this
person at the lights.  I slowed to a crawl and waited for the light to turn.
When it turned yellow I accelerated through hoping that the person would be
stuck.  Well when I went through the lights came on.  I pulled over and was
really pissed off.  The cop came up and looked at all the stuff and then
gave me a field sobriety test.  I Hadn't had anything.  The cop ASKED why
I was driving that way so I told him The truth.  He was tailing me
and I was getting mad and I didn't know he was a cop.  He let me go.  Let
me go for what I don't know.  But his instructions were to go straight home.
talk about arrogant.

Cops, Can't live with em, Can't herd them all into Canada.

My opinions are my own.  My employer rarely, if ever agrees with anything
I say or think.  If I offended anyone sorry If not I will try harder next time.
