Anyone been arrested for street racing? So I got arrested Tuesday night for racing on 290. Thing is, it was an off-duty seargant and his wife (also an officer) that pulled me over in their personal vehicle. I know I didn't have to stop for an unmarked car and I should have just kept going, but my brain just stopped working when I saw the badge. So do you guys think I have any chance of getting this thing to go away since they had no video, no speed, and no real proof?

i almost got arrested for that on numerous occasions 
sucks you stopped man, i would have kept going. I hate off duty PO's pulling stupid ****, but that's another story i have for another time i guess.
To answer your question, they have a police officer's testimony, which of course goes a long long way in court, and i'm sure this guy will show up because it seems he already has the barney fife hard on for you. good luck with it man. normally I side with PO's, but stuff like this ticks me off

Why in the F**K U stop? If they dont have it on video lawyer up man. Did they arrest you and take you to jail or did the call an on duty cop. I agree with post above I side with PO's 95% of the time but thats bullshit.

No he called it in and two sheriffs came and got us. I still don't know why the hell I stopped but it's over and done now. I really need this to go away though cause I have a CDL for my job that I need to keep or I'm fucked

i got 6 months probation (reduced to 3 months)
probation fees for those 3 months
court fees ($3xx or so)
a fine ($5xx or so)
license suspended
and its a class b misdemeanor, so stays on your record.

How did you get it dropped? They came up next to me and she was hangin out the window waving a badge yelling to pull over then he got in front of me and basically forced me on to the feeder. If my CDL is taken I'm fucked as far as my job goes until (if) I can get it back. If nothing else I need to get my court date rescheduled because I need to be in columbia at the end of the month.

They can throw you in jail, fine you, and take away your driver's license.
Oh, look at me, I'm a big idiot.
