Have you ever tried to outrun the cops?

[mrkilla]

been caught once , out ran them 2x, Smoke pot daily and Drive a 99 Z28 you and the cops become good friends for any number of reasons

The funniest story though is when I was about 18 , I had my 87 Camaro back then, I had just ducked out of the a side street blew the stop sign and fish tailed downt he block, cop came behind me , I ran for about 10 blocks and pulled over (what was a traffic light I made it like "Oh you were following me") so he was pretty pissed and wrote me 7 tickets [everything from a blown taillight to the air freshenr on the mirror (yes its illegal to hang stuff from a rearview) any case hes all done and says "I was gonna write you an evading persuit ticket but my fu<king hand got tired"

Like 10 years ago a few times I would pass a cop going the oppisite direction on my bike. He would flash his lights but not turn around so I never stopped. I think they realize they are not catching you when you are going that fast.

Luckily somehow I never ran into a cop further down the road as I assumed they always radioed ahead that a guy was speeding in that direction. But I would take a diferent route and slow down after I got past the first cop. Plus often it was late at night and very dark so he could not even have much of a discription of me to pass on. Lucky and stupid at the time it seemed minor.

If he would have hit his brakes and turned around to come get me I would have stopped I'm no badass just dumb.

I was going about 70 in a 35, when I passed a motorcycle cop in the other land. "Oh [censored]!!" flashed in my mind. So I made the next right, then a right, and pulled into a packed parking lot, and parked my car between two others. I got out of my car so I could walk away and contest the ticket later, but the cop flew in behind me and actually asked, "is there a fire?" Needless to say, if you try and run from the police they will not take it easy on you. I only got a speeding ticket though as they could never prove I tried to run.

I've run twice.

The first time was in high school when I spun my rear end out coming around a corner and the cop was coming the opposite direction. I saw him hit his brake lights to turn around, so I gunned it, pulled into my buddy's driveway around the next corner, and killed the lights. He quickly went wailing by and I pulled out and went the other way.

The other time was in college, on foot and into the woods. I gave myself up because after I thought about it I realized I wasn't even doing anything wrong, I was just being wasted and stupid. They were just campus cops so nothing happened anyway.

It's not like I've been in high speed chases, but if I'm speeding and I notice a cop notice me, I'll quickly make the next turn to get out of his sight, then make a series of turns fairly quickly to lose him. Also, in the past, I was living at a condo with a large underground garage. Once, I was speeding over a bridge near the condo when a cop saw me and made his way onto the bridge behind me. I had enough time to build a decent lead on him by the time he got onto the road, so I kept my speed up and got into the garage without letting him get a look at the plate. Gate closed behind me and I never heard anything more about it. If he had caught up, I'd just say I didn't see him at first and had continued speeding.

Usually I just pull over though. You have to pick your spots.

I've outran the cops on foot several times. I've never ran gotten busted. I own the cops.

Like everyone else in the thread, I've done it, but nothing too rebellious. I was a quarter mile from my house, flew by a cop, saw his break lights, speed up to my house and pulled in the garage. The only other time I was 13 or 14 and got caught rolling a yard. We tried to run, but the cop knew who we were and just went back to the house he knew we were at and waited.

In high school, my friend's dad was giving me a ride to their house on the back of his Yamaha 1200. He was a coke dealer and wanted for something. He outran them with me on the back. I was scared shitless. Not really me doing it but that was the only tme.

A couple of weeks later someone shot him three times in the back of the head with a .44 magnum. Tough bastard actually lived, but left town as soon as he recovered and my friend never saw his dad again as far as I know. Probably better off, but still sad.

3 times. Once was at about 2am on the highway. I was crusing at about 120 and saw a cop on the left side of the road. I moved into the far left lane so that there was no way he could pull onto the highway until I was at least past him and just hit the gas. I was going 140 by the time I passed him. He started to pull out but then decided to not even try. I kept going to 160 and pulled off 2 exits ahead, never saw anyone else.

The next time I passed a cop on the other side of the median. I watched him make U-turn in my rear view mirror but at that point I was at least 1/4 mile ahead and I was in an area I knew well with a lot of possible turns. So I just took off.

The third time was just a few days ago. I passed a car at night sitting on a road to the right who started driving towards my road when I went by. I was about 80% sure it was a cop trying to pull me over. Normally I just pull to the side right away in those situations, but there was a huge line of cars coming up on the other side of the road and I had just enough time to make a U-turn and get ahead of them. The cop flashed me as I passed him again but there wasn't much he could do at that point.

I pull over way more than I try to outrun the cops, and I'd never consider getting into a high speed chase, but if I see an opportunity to disappear, and the cop hasn't even signalled for me to pull over yet, and I'm reasonably sure that even if he does catch up and turns on his lights I can pull over and act like I didn't know he was chasing me, I'll make an effort to get away.
