You can get a ticket and go to jail for street racing without even breaking any laws. Some cops are just assholes. I got the charge dropped since it was bogus, but I will never get those 40 or so hours I spent in the holding cell back.
But most importantly....
Do you know how awkward it is to take a crap in toilet with no walls or barricades, in front of 20 other guys in the cell with you? Very fucking awkward.
What a contradiction. Since street racing is against the law, how can you go to jail for street racing without breaking any laws? And how is that arresting cop an asshole because the dude broke the law?Originally Posted by RL...

Surely you know that cops make mistakes, and in my case she made a HUGE mistake. I was 16 sitting at a red light in a stock 99 camry. Person pulls up in a 240 next to me and peels out and takes off. Cop hears HIS tires chirp pulls out and proceeds to pull me over. I never broke speed limit, I never chirped my tires, I never broke a law. I was a minor and got taken to jail for street racing without having broken a law. Which makes her an asshole and a dumbass for inaccurately assessing the situation and assuming I broke a law when I did not. More importantly why didnt she go after the offender which was the 240....but no she pulled me over and took me to jail. This happened a long time ago but I just think it's bs that a cop can take you to jail for a crime you did not commit, then when you get the charges dropped you get no just compensation back for the time and money lost not to mention the embarassment of going to jail.
This actually happened to me also. BIL spun the tires of his '94 rustang and I got pulled over and a ticket for laying drag. I didnt make too big of a deal about it though cause I could have easily been popped for a whole lot worse, like 80+ in a 45, racing, reckless driving.
Oh, and it makes the cop wrong, not an asshole.
