so I'm cruisin along on my way home from work, about 90 in a 75

and a state cop is coming the other direction (mind you I live in the sticks and we have like three cops, all know my car) look in the rearview, he is turning around lights on. I dropped into fourth and took off, i hit fifth and kept going, got off at the next exit, and dropped it down to about 60 (in a 55) i was cruisin along feelin happy that I didnt see the cop behind me, all the sudden i came around a corner on the frontage and there was a county sheriff, i drove by him and he came out lights on. I dropped it down to third and hit it again, around the next bend, and onto a side road. I hid in some bushes for a while and took off and went home, no problem.

I want to know how long do I have until the cops aren't looking for an "older red BMW" or how long until they can't do shiznit to me. first time i ran, never gonna do it again because i'm all paranoid and shit. i keep thinking i hear helicopters and shit flying over my house looking for my car.

What did you do previously??

Like whatever...just deny your ran those 2 times...and next time they stop you they technically don't have shit on you unless you broke the law right then and there.

thats what i thought, wasnt surte though. i actually cant count that as the first time running. i have got out of street races without being busted, so thats like running, cuz the cops are all up on our shit and what not.

KingScare · 03-10-2004, 05:35 PM

unless they have some kind of proof you ran from them, like video where they can clearly read your license plate...

they don't have shit but their hands full of doughnuts.

no way do they have a video with my liscence plate. slow ass cops couldn't have caught up to me to see my plate. I'm still all paranoid though, lol

take it from someone thats ran more than once.. if you get caught or kill someone its not worth it.. trust me i know i almost killed myself trying to get away once..

drive with a head on your shoulders dude not a head in your lap..

yeah don't like the sound of 'felon' on my permanent record. meh, it was fun anyway.

as far as i know, the camera (if the cop car has it) comes on as soon as the lights do. so technically they do know what kind of car it was...

take care.

ps. i am all fucking paranoid from cops too. i was doing 80 in a 55, half-racing a probe gt, not letting him pass me. on the side of the road there is this little shit... looks like it could be a camera, or some kind of solar panel, or both. so i took it easy from there on...when i got home later, i was feeling just like you. i was like what if it was one of those fucking cameras activated by a radar gun or something...god knows. next morning going to school, where the speed limit goes from 30 to 25 i was going 40+. on the right side a cop sitting pointed towards the road i am going on.... fuckkkkkkkkkk. so i pull in the school parking lot and just sit there waiting for a few minutes to go inside. and there goes the cop, pulls up behind me, circles me and leaves. ok like WTF ? and two days ago, schools out, i get outside. in the parking lot the same cop is sitting there parked next to ME. i was like holy shittness.... if i see him again i'll start driving my moms car to school

they cant do anything to you once your on private property or once you walk out of the car.. hence why they always say remain in the car..

There's an old song that goes "I fought the law and the law won". Becareful and keep the mph's closer to the limit, you'll live longer.

Good driving to you and yours.

'85 318i · 03-12-2004, 09:42 AM

yeah, the last couple days i been driving the speed limit, which seems really slow... but oh well.

buuhh99 · 03-12-2004, 05:07 PM

Torque · 03-12-2004, 09:49 PM

even if you dont get anything, it is still an awesome feeling when you hit a open road and push that pedal down more than usual

bimmerfan620 · 03-13-2004, 01:01 AM

amen to that brother............nothin beats an open road where you can just let the big dawg eat meat...... I LUVVVVVV it! 120 in a 55 has never felt better...

TheHire · 03-13-2004, 05:37 AM

you stories cracked me up.
but I agree, going at 55 on 55 road seems like jogging on the street.

I have also done 120 on 55 and man it feels soooooooooooo goooooooooooood.

But when you slow down to the limit feels like sitting on a dead cow !
