Running from the cops!

[FasTech]

So honestly, how many of yall have ever been speeding, like 70 or 80 over, and start running right after you see the blue lights kick on???? <------Anything else involving running from the cops if you have a different story.

TELL YOUR STORY PLEASE



Now my reasons for this thread are, Last night around 1:30 me and another member on here (????) were trying to help some high school boys out with their senior prank.... Well cops come rushing into the school and me and my friend ditch in his 97 integra..... We look back and they weren't behind us, so we drive to the nearest store and I call on of them.. They were sittin beside the baseball field which is basically behind the school. Well we creep by and the cop is sitting right beside the dirt road that goes to the baseball field waiting on them to come out.. So we had to try and help them out.. So we turned around and drove by again and road up the road abit then turned back around and started haulin' a$$, the road we were on is a 30mph road and we passed the school doing 120... It did what we wanted it to do, the cops threw the lights on and started our way.. We didn't slow down, took a few turns started to his house.. Somehow we made it to his house without getting caught. Well on of the guys back at the school calls me and tells me they had working things out with the cops and they were gonna let them finish the prank..So we did that for no reason....lol Still tried to help! It was pretty crazy though. Back at my buddies house, his dad had a police scanner and we were trying to let things chill and we listened to it, they had every poilce unit out here looking for us. And yes, I know it was very childess, but it was kinda the only thing we could think to do at the time.

Reps for helping a friend, or atleast trying to. Running from the cops is immature. but when you have my record...everytime I see a cop turn around behind me bluelights or not, i dip out next turn,lol damn tickets and suspension. Got me paranoid

2 years ago 3 friends and I left our Auburn vs. UF tickets @ GT the night before the game....realized it 5hrs b4 the game...Went from Au to GT and back to AU in 5 hrs lol 140mph....in Al. 85S...Alabama State Police thought it'd be good to TRY to follow...didn't work too well considering I was already @ 140mph by the time I passed them...made it in time for the game..barely

lol, good times! you know, that was the last time i saw you....how many years ago!?! joe and friends, laying on the ground with shotguns pointed at them. i always wondered, how'd your buddy get home that night? didn't they tell him to walk!?! well i'll throw my little story in the mix.

2 year ago, i had just bought my new bike (06 cbr600 f4i) about 3 months earlier. i was on my way home from a friends house, it was about 3am, and i was tired as hell. i decided to open it up on 285 coming down from marietta. i get to the peachtree exit, and notice a car kind of following me (i was at about 130). he didn't have any lights on, but i knew it was a cop (nobody else was on the highway). initially, i wanted to run but i slowed down to make SURE. i got to spaghetti junction and figured "let's see if he's really following me and not just speeding too." with all of these random thoughts in my mind, i accident get on the 85N ramp instead of South.

next thing i know, the wall in front of me starts flashing blue. i figured he was too close to run, and i was also going the wrong way! i start to pull close to the wall (that rough a$$ shoulder on the ramp), and he start swerving at the bike! then he gets on his megaphone and yells "I'M TAKING YOU DOWN!" lol, i got REALLY nervous then, i could stick my foot out and touch his fender (i'm doing like 10mph at this point). i figured, dude was going to kill me, so i dropped to first, and hauled a$$. the blue lights just got smaller and smaller until i couldn't see him anymore. i hit the jimmy carter exit, road into some random apartment complex and hid in the back between some trees. i chilled for about 30min, nervous as hell! i started to head home, and i noticed dekalb country was at every gas station near my house.

i figured he got my tag and address (he was close enough), so i stopped again and called my neighbor. he knew exactly who it was, he heard the copter over the neighborhood. he opened up his car trailer, and told me to get to our neighborhood as fast as i could, and put EVERYTHING in the trailer, then walk home. i left my bike, and gear in his trailer for about a month.

Ehh, just laughs at the gun, they can't use it if you arnt armed,hahah. Anyone see the fat mexican comedian making the jokes about getting pulled over and playing the Cops theme song?

An automobile IS considered a several thousand pound deadly weapon. They can and HAVE shot people who were unarmed in their vehicles attempting to ran. Started that several years back when a young black man ran over a cop, the cop thought he'd just swerve, but the kid hit him dead on. They shot another kid just about two years ago when he looked to do the same thing.

Short version: If a cop points a gun at you he is ready to use it. Don't gamble with his fear.

Me and my friends used to go into Stone Mountain Park after hours, and climb the mountain, and just walk around.. for no reason...

One night we went in, and we were walking in a wooded area near the playground, and we had stopped for a second. And this Cop doin patrol comes by, and we all just dropped on the ground. it was atleast 8 of us...lol. Cop pulled the light out,a nd everything, scanned the area. and drove off.. so we decided to run back into the woods...into a dark nowhere.

So were running, and a friend of mine drops his watch, and decides to try and pick it up.. and gets pushed down by someone...and ends up getting trampled by 4 of us.. . Even myself...after noticing me running on a soft surface, i looked down and noticed my friend on the ground, being trampled, and helped him up.. But he understood.. dusted himself off and kept running.

Than we magically appear near the entrance were we came in, BUT... the cop is back... , so we all drop again... it was soo smooth.. like it was planned. Cop pulled out the light and jsut scanned the light over the area.... and after 4 mins.. left.

And we escaped!!

only casualty was a watch/shoe .... back in my HS days.. bored..and summer time freedom..

One night I was pissed at a girl, and took off from the theatre parking lot heading to the old Kroger. I took the mall curve at 70, ended up flipping in the ditch. After the 2nd cop shows up, he asks me if I was running from him. No sir, I never saw you. Cop tells my mom he felt bad b-c I could have been hurt and he should have looked for me harder, he just thought I ditched him. My mom laughs and Says," Well technically he did ditch you"

About 2 years ago I was driving to Myrtle Beach in my mom's fiance's car (V10 Excursion). 10 miles outside of Augusta about 3 other cars including my own were doing 90-100 mph going eastbound when a westbound Augusta cop slams on his brakes flips on the blue lights and spins her back around.I'm in front in the far left lane so I know he's coming for me so I put it the rest of the way to the floor and go up about 2 exits and get off and go to McDonald's. Chill there for a minute get back on the freeway and see he got the hot chick in the Celica behind me.

[EJ25RUN]

i'm the only 1 that voted no.

[DJ Maestro]

i'm the only 1 that voted no.

Nope, I voted no as well. Won't do it. It's not worth the bullsh!t that comes along with the arrest when you finally do get caught. And seriously, where am I going to run to in my orange Tib? It only is one of the most noticeable cars around.

Stopping and accepting the ticket > Getting caught after running and then being arrested and given to Bubba McBunkmate aka Mr. Surprize Buttsechs.

Pretty slick! We kept going, cause it was a stretched road, and we got to the stop sign we cut through the Bp station and shot to the road on the other side and headed towards his house..... Going down his road, right before his driveway... about 300ft we were going atleast 90 to 95 and we see headlights coming around the turn way on up the road... He whipped it in his yard, drove it up behind his house into the Shop.... Got out and walk in the house and we looked out the window and sure enough, it was a cop coming towards us...

[BobbyFresco]

I've run from the cops several times, the most recent being sometime last summer. Not intelligent by any means but it was the difference between going to jail or not and I decided to run.

I was on 75S headed towards downtown and I was late to pick up my girlfriend at the time for dinner. I was doing about 130 and I flew by a GSP patrol car that was positioned on the shoulder tagging people as they drove by.


I did not see him until right before I passed by him and to make matters worse, I was in the HOV lane with no passenger. We looked at each other as I passed by and I saw him jump in his car. At that point the idiot in me took over and I dropped it a gear and took off, weaving in and out of traffic for two miles and at one point I hit 160. At no point and time did I ever see him close enough to catch me and I figured he had half a chance considering he was driving one of those Magnums.... I got off at the Moore's Mill exit and took off as fast I could until I was on Peachtree Street and then I knew I was safe. Needless to say, I about shiit myself and I was paranoid for the rest of the night.


Ever since that incident I have been a lot more careful and considerate for other ppl on the road as well as for myself...

Not like your tibby could out run em anyway... jkjkjk hahaha

I've got a radar detector and I only drive on 85 285

so YES. I like tasty, warm, chocolatey cake covered in delicious frosting. There is an added bonus for me if there's a pikachu or some other cartoon character for me to devour.

[Double_0_Rusty]

When I had my civic I ran one time......

On I-20 going to a Braves game....leaving madison i got on the entrance ramp at about 70ish, on to I20 I sped up to 110-115, just rollin, noticed a GSP Charger sitting in the median...ME= OH F'ing sh!t. I rounded from 5th to 3rd got up to about 130, made it to the next exit ramp which was Social Circle exit, and dipped back to my house via dirt roads, and back roads......hopped in my truck and made it to the game almost on time. I left teh Ef in the barn for a good two weeks.

[Got Milk?]

that was stupid.

[Double_0_Rusty]

that was stupid.

You being born was stupid.

I was 16, and at a big street racing meet down in Panama City. Had a stock 1990 240SX Fastback with a stripped out interior. Cops showed up and broke up the meet. Singled me out, so I freaked out and jumped in my car. Two buddies got in too. We busted a U-turn almost clipping the cop car and make a sprint for it. James is in the front seat, trying to put on his seatbelt. Steven is in the backseat sitting on metal with no seat or restraints. He reaches up and bear-hugs James and the seat, hanging on for dear life. We're flying down the road, weaving between other cars at anywhere between 90-115mph. Get ahead of the pack and come up to a corner. Took the turn too fast AND the rear right tire decided to blow out. Lost control and slid of the embankment. Spun around, came back up on the road and slid of the other side of the embankment. Passenger side fender strikes a telephone pole's guide-wire and completely uproots it (5-foot steel pole). The fender is shredded off. The car turns sideways and the passenger side door bounces off the second guidewire. Car keeps sliding and slides between the third guidewire and the telephone pole itself. Nobody got a scratch. Cop pulls up, I go to jail and get bailed out by my father.

Dumbest mistake ever.

This in all honesty makes me laugh ( being its Ran and all )

There was one scenario where I blasted past a cop booking it in the fog in my Starion. At least it looked like a cop ( dark car, parked perpindicular to the highway ). Pulled into a gas station 3 exits up to fill up on gas, a bit nervous. 3 minutes into pumping a black crown vic pulls up behind me, and the officer calmly gets out and asks me if by any chance I happened to be the light colored car that left a shockwave in the fog I told him I wish my old mitsubishi was capable of going fast enough to leave a shockwave, but he probably saw an older RX7. He bid me a goodnight and a safe drive and to not speed.

Also I once got clocked going 137mph in a 55mph on a backroad. But I pulled over immediately for that one. Long story short? 14 over and $115 fine

Hahaha...the second story is tight since you didn't run and he just reduced the hell out of the ticket.

[Wurm]

nope have never run

[WickedIXMR]

I can count at least ten times where i ran from the cops seriously. But i got a totally different outlook on life and choose not to be stupid like i used to be. Btw i never got caught.

[Echonova]

I had a cop flip me off when I passed him @ 145+ He didn't give chase though, does that count?

He was outside the car with his radar gun and I came over a hill. Guess he figured I'd be gone by the time he got in his car, just lowered his radar gun and raised his middle finger.

BTW: This was 17 years ago

[J-ROCK]

lol i know justin did once last summer! it was funny as hell

[DeeAOne]

nope, cant say i have.

[BTEC]

when i was younger i was playing around with a mustang and 350z. gsp had us all clocked but didnt know who he wanted to pull over. i stepped on it and punked out shortly afterwards. when his direct view of me was blocked by some other cars i passed, i switched lanes getting between some other cars and started doing the speed limit. he flew passed me like a half car length and slowed dwn next to me. i pretended not to see him bc the 75 north split from 285 was coming up and i was in the left lane so he couldnt get over unless the other cars slowed dwn to let him over. split came and he stepped on it and went looking for the other 2 cars on 285.

stoopid move, but i didnt get caught. again those were my younger days.

[bigdare23]

Shot passed a cop doing about 120 when I was 17. I didn't get caught, but a I'll never do that again.

[redrumracer]

im pretty sure i have not knowing back when i was in high school/ first time to college. unfortunately when I95 runs right through town you have the tendency to see how fast you can go/get across the county line

[VooDooXII]

I've got a story about how I'll never speed again.

On a road trip from Alabama to Memphis, I'm on US-78. It's a Saturday morning, there are absolutely no cars in sight, so I get testosteroney and bury the pedal in the carpet. I blast past one car...a Neon...maybe an SRT4...I don't know. I approach my car's top speed of ~145 mph. I do this for about a minute or two, and then back off and settle back down to 70. US-78 is like 985 as you travel further north. It turns into a normal road with traffic lights. I come to one and stop, and immediately I see a blue light special in my rear-view. I pull into the gas station on the side, turn my car off, and hear the cop say "Do you have a license?" as he approaches. I'm such a nervous wreck (second time I've ever been pulled over) that I pull out my debit card instead. He laughs and goes, "Can't take payment buddy."

He goes through the typical stuff..."You know why I pulled you over?" I just went ahead and told him...not like I can bull**** him, especially when he tells me he was going 120 mph for a couple miles to catch me. I said that if I had seen him earlier, I'd have stopped. He lectured me for a bit, saying stuff like "When the dashed white lines turn into a solid blur...you know you're flyin. Were you racing that Neon? I know they've got speed limits in Georgia too!" Then he ended it with, "You're lucky I'm not a state trooper, else you'd be in cuffs right now. I've got something better to take care of anyway. Keep it safe out there...five, maybe even ten over is alright."

I shat a brick. Coolest. Cop. Ever...as well as luckiest day of my ****ing life. My luck ran dry that day. I'm never speeding again.

[redrumracer]

My luck ran dry that day. I'm never speeding again.

i remember part of the night that my luck ran dry. and before i begin yes it was very stupid of me.

Anyways one night i was out at a party and i had this great idea i was going to drive home because i didnt really know the person that the party was at. after that i dont remember anything until halfway into a conversation with a cop, while i was parked in some guys yard. by the time i came into the conversation i had already given the cops my wallet and my cell phone. i dont know if i was pulled over or if i just stopped in the persons yard. well anyways the cops asked if i was out partying and of course i said yes, and they asked if i was drunk, and of course another yes. well one of the cops was going through my phone looking at the names and asking me questions about the people in there. luckly for me i think two things saved me. first i had a lot of friends named chris, so in my phone they were all denoted my there appearance. it just happened that one of them was in my phone as fat chris. now this got the cop curious as to who he was, so i told him. it just happened to be that his father was the detective/hostage negotiator/ weapons specialist for the PD, i think that was one of the major things that got me out of a dui/open container(i had a cup of beer sitting in my cup holder)/ underage. they told me that if i could get a ride home that i wouldnt go to jail. so the cops just start calling random people from my phone trying to find me a ride. so they finally found someone to answer the phone and they came and picked me up. i think another thing that helped was that i was a volunteer firefighter as well. but ever since then i refuse to drive drunk or buzzed. luckly for me i learned my lesson the easy way.

[flak_monkey]

never have never will.

Can I get some cake now?

[Ronsam2006]

On 985 flying past a cop posted sideways in the grass between the north and south of 985 doing around 110 mph at like 2 am and just stepped on it after I saw the blue and red lights go off. Stupid move since I was headed right into Gwinnett, but got away since it was so late. Just got off some exit before Pleasant Hill and went to sleep for like an hour in this neighborhood since I was so tired from work....which is the reason I was speeding. I have a few more stories just like this...but I doubt there will be anymore.

my car is def not fast enough to attempt a stunt like running form the popos

even if my car was, I wouldn't run. I'm 20 and I lost my license 3 times and I've been to jail once, and never again. I have my license back now, but you guys have no idea how much it sucks to lose it, to walk to work...And it's a blow to the pride when the hot girl that just agreed to go out with you asks to be picked up at 8 and you have to tell her to pick you up...rofl!!! But you do save a lot of money when there's no car payment, insurance payment, gas, and other maintenance to pay for...

so much so that I bought my maxima cash

It's not that bad. I was still selling cars when i lost my license. I told my manager my situation and he didn't mind cause he knew i was responsible. Now i have only lost it once, but i do agree i dont ever want to lose it again.
