Driving home early this morning from a local large city to my house.  About 60 miles of empty country roads (paved) to get home.  My car is a kinda sporty looking custom built two seat car by an odd company that probably no one has ever heard of without a google search.  Not trying to do the e-penis thing so not gonna name it.  Nuff said that it is probably what a lot of people would call an "exotic" car (to me it is not, it is more of a money pit than anything else, but neither here nor there).

Now it is 4 am and no one is on the road.

Cruise control is set at 59 for a 60 posted.  Sunday morning at 4 am.  Yeah, don't need to draw attention to myself.  To many drunks out there and police looking for such.

So as I pass an intersection I see a police car about 25 yards off the side of the main road on side road.  Eh, ok, figured there would be police out tonight, that is why the cruise is set at 59.  Didn't radar me (Escort radar detector).

I get 1 mile away (lots of flat empty space out here with a road every mile, so really easy to see someone pull out behind you and be able to judge how far away they are when they do such) and I see him pull out behind me heading my way.

Okay.  Fine.  Not an issue.  Not drunk, not speeding.  Whatever

Within the next 2 miles he has caught up to me.  Had to be pushing atleast 120 + to do that.  So Okay.  He has some big emergency call that he has to go to to justify doing that speed.  Right..  I mean seriously, police don't abuse their authority by completely disregarding the posted speed limits by at-least double without good reason right...  No lights on (well headlights, but no cherries).  I thought that if police were "running to help someone out, and endangering the public by doing over double the speed limit, well, they would put their cherries on to warn people of this huge need to protect the public, right?".  So gets within 200 yards of me, then slows down and RADARS me.  

Say what!!!!!!!!!!!

Your in such a hurry to help someone (well, right, that is why you are so blatantly disregarding the speed limits which supposedly apply to EVERYONE), but yet you have the time to check and see if you can give me a speeding ticket.

Well, unfortunately, I was not speeding.

So now, this yahoo, he runs right up on my bumper (close enough I can no longer see the headlights), drops back, comes up, drops back, back and forth three times.  Since I won't bite and go any faster, he then passes me and within 1 mile was completely out of sight.

Yeah.  

Please.

Would love to hear the justification for this kinda behavior.  

And you wonder why people don't like the police.

Your own actions bring it upon yourself.

Bring it on.....

oh yeah, right, I know I know, completely isolated instance that no cop has ever done before.

You drive a Fiat too?

It's like any other job dude, they get their douchebags too.

X9's rule baby.....

My girlfriend drives an older X9.  Almost more of a money pit than mine.

Why do you hate cops? They can do no wrong ARFCOM told me so.

Absolutely correct.  But not a good enough excuse to justify that kind of behavior.  So he can go fast and not worry about a ticket.  Good for him.  Perks of the job.  But the whole "Pushing me" thing by riding my bumper.

That I didn't appreciate.

Should have gave him a brake test.

In before the wambulance posts.  

Not trying to do the e-penis thing so not gonna name it.  But will go for the E-crybaby award.  Not going to summer school this year?

One of my buddies has a 67 spyder. I bought one to rebuild but never got around to it. Sold it.

Now I wished I hadn't. I found a 68 spyder that I want and it is sitting in a field. It is white.

i was driving around in my small town once...normal, not speeding, etc etc



i'm sitting at a stop sign at a 4 way on downtown main street, i turn right passing a cop, and then i go to take a left and notice in my mirror that the cop is now whipping a Uturn with cars coming both ways (hardly any room to do a U there) so i'm going up this hill and the fucker caught me so fast, and road my ass down this street to the next stop sign. i turn right and continue on my way as he stays back at the stop sign.



the next day i found out from someone that my license plate was ran in for any outstandings/etc over the scanner (which i've never had a ticket/warning/pulled over/accident in 10 years of driving)

  You know, if I could afford to have him bust my bumper ( I can't, this car is taxing me anyway with general maintenance), I would have (and well we know I would have ended up with it being my fault and as such I would have had to pay for it anyway).

But thanks for the laugh.  I walked in to the house pissed this morning, that comment, enough for me to get a chuckle out of it.

Thanks.

dirty license plate?

hot light was probably on at krispy kreme.

E-crybaby award.

Okay.

Just acts like a jerk, and because I don't like the fact he endangers me, I am an E-crybaby.  K.

Summer school.  Um.  No I am not going to summer school this year.  Am 40 years old, own three business's and well, probably will not do summer school any time soon.

But thanks for ignorantly playing.



Okay, I am new here.  But I don't like people acting like jerks.  So mister PaDanby.  Since you seem to be so smart and incredible.  Lets make a deal.  IF you will reply to this, tomorrow I will post a picture of the front badge of my car with my Rolex 16613 Serti Sub along with a piece of paper that says "go away you little f#ck".  If I can do that to justify my story, how about you, well, lets just say, NEVER post anything stupid again.  

How about it?

I think they do that run up on your tail/bright light thing so that you will get scared or nervous (especially if you were not aware a cop was behind you), you start watching the crazy car behind you and then cross over the center lane or swerve a little, then they have a reason to pull you over.  At least that is my opinion, as I can't see any other reason for aggressive, dangerous driving like that.  

Many. many years ago, a cop pulled that crap on my mom late at night.   She was alone in the car, so he pulled her over because she had swerved when he ran up on her ass with bright headlights..  It was a four-lane road/two lanes each way, so it wasn't like he couldn't get around her if he needed to pass.  She was pissed and told him off –– don't ever do that kind of thing to a woman alone in a car at night, that he had really frightened her, blah, blah, blah.  He didn't give her a ticket.  She probably would have cleaned up the courtroom with him if he had.

Why did he do it?

he's got a star on his car and one on his chest, a gun on his hip and the right to arrest.



[/Junior Brown]
I think that about covers it.






 

lol as this thread is about to trainwreck

Well played, sir

tag for later

too bad you didnt get his car number

Meh.. I'd like to know what car so I can google it

In on one, my baby JBT didn't do nuffin'

+1

Very dirty (and potentially dangerous) tactics to make you swerve so he could pull you.

There I was, bored out of my skull just trying to stay awake patrolling this little stretch of road around 4AM or so and I see something drive by.  I had never seen it before and I  figured, what the hell, I would get a closer look.    I hammer it down to clean the pipes out, and at 80 it only took me a couple of miles or so to catch up with this guy.  Once I was behind it, I still couldn't figure out what it was.  It looked home made from spare parts or something.  It looked alot less interesting up close.  I ran the plate to make sure this thing even belonged on the road and then got out of there before it started coming apart in front of me.   As I drove by he gave me a look like I just pissed in his Wheaties...    It must be pretty stressful just to keep an abortion like that between the lines.............

Lighten up, Francis.

but why so many?

That should be an automatic loss of job. Idiots.

I would like to hear the other side of the story before commenting on this.

Oh, it's just like riding the fog line fucking with a suspected drunk.

What I've been told is you follow them and ride the fog line.  They will see you in the mirror but over to the right, so they move  over and *poof* they just crossed the fog line.

He was looking at your car.  Plus he was probably bored.  Did you wave at him as he went by?

Bottom line is, he was bored. It was 4am and he was sitting in the dark, by himself on the side of the road. If you could get away with it you would have done the same thing.

I'm gonna have to wait until others post comments either in support of the OP or the JBT.

Maybe you had to be there, (and I'm not an apologist or a basher) but that doesn't sound like something that would have upset me at all had it happened to me. I think I would have though "Geeze, I wonder if I'm going to get pulled over for something.....nope guess he just wanted to check out my cool car...hmmm, what should I have for a snack when I get home?"

Sooooo What did he do to you?

Maybe he got a troll alert(similar to Amber) and you or your car matched the description?Maybe the numbers on your tag exceeded your post count by a suspicious amount?Who knows?

Why does it smell like troll in here?

This is the first..."I didn't get pulled over but he's still a JBT" thread.  

From the post, looks like the cop was desperately trying to find a reason to pull him over and at the same time trying to cause a wreck.
 

He was probably thinking evil JBT thoughts and wearing scary pants with cargo pockets...he might not have had on shiny dress shoes either...and gosh, he might have a military looking haircut!  The horror

For someone not trying to "do the e-penis thing", you sure have whipped out your cawk.  Please, tell us again how many businesses you own, how cool your car is, how great your radar detector is, etc, etc.  Then, you go on to talk smack to people that have been on this board FAR longer than you.  You may claim to be 40, but your actions say your 17.

dang.............   angry

I'm gonna go with 14.

Exactly, when I was in high school I was driving to a local wing joint with a friend to eat and this assholes runs up on my tail and is just tail-gating the shit out of me with his brights on....   We start going up a very curvy hill and the asshole rides my ass with his brights the whole time.  A mile later he pulls me over for apparently my tires crossed the white line. I said you were tailgating with me your brights on, I was blinded going up the hill and adjusted my mirrors, he said too bad and handed me a ticket. Fucking douchebag pig.

I thought this thread was about police, and then I read some story about a state trooper.
What gives?

So you're complaining that he did NOT pull you over?

Wait, what?

Ever think that your "exotic sporty car" might just draw attention to itself, especially since you were out at 4 AM, going under the speed limit?   He was most likely checking if the car was stolen.  If your license plate was hard to read or dirty, I could see where he'd need to ride your ass to check it. I assume he's probably worked the job long enough to know that cars that are stolen usually split lickity-quick when they're being tailed by cops, and was checking to see if you were speeding to have an  "excuse" to pull you over and question you.

So your "Jack-booted thug" really didn't do very much thugging.

Apparently you're pretty sensitive for being a 40-year old business owner and let things like a cop tailing you get your panties in a bunch.  

Grow up.

he was checking his plates

Well, this thread didn't go as planned.

This one time, at band camp..........................
