Why can they have deep tinted windows and we can't? Anyway you gotta pay to play right........

 

I'll clear up my question to make it more understandable.

Is it illegal to rev your engine next to a car in traffic?

 

I guess if you have cats and you're legal ...should be OK. Better hope you don't coincidentally have a taillight bulb go out, though, if you're revving at a cop. A lot of things they could prob charge you with if you blatantly rev at them or even at other people.

Anybody else know of any other type cops cars posing as racers? I've heard of a couple of souped up ricers being in the Seminole County Sheriif's Dept arsenal. Could have only been hearsay, though ... never seen one with anybody pulled over.

 

Not All Cops Are ******. I Was Once Chase For 20 Miles At 150mph Going Down The Florida Keys. I Was On A Bike And The State Trooper Had A Z28. We Were Both Cuting In And Out Of Traffic. I Was About An 1/8 Of A Mile In Front Of Him. But I Could Still See Those Blue Lights Coming. At One Point I Came With In 20ft Of An Incoming Car So I Took A **** And Slow Down.when He Finally Stop Me He Called Me Everything From A-z. He Even Mention My Granmother. He Had Me Pull Over For 1/2 Hour And Let Me Go With Out A Ticket. I Really Got Lucky

 

revving is considered attempting to instigate a street race.

 

I harassed an unmarked car a few weeks ago...cut some dude in a blue vette off to prevent him from gettin a ticket, he didnt see her in front of me and was haulin ***. I was playin all kinds of games, pacin next to her wavin, tailin her, gettin in front of her and slowin down. I had shitloads of fun and she never pulled me over. It wasn't reckless I didn't speed and I didn't drop below the minimum speed limit, i just had some good clean fun harassing a cop cause she prevented me from speeding and getting to work on time.

 

You're nuts

 

reckless driving.

 

haven't seen any of those stangs around, i generally don't race on the streets anyway that's what the track's for.

 

You can rev up at them all you want as long as it doesn't break your particular county's noise ordinance and doesn't impede the flow of traffic.(Like cause you to slow down rapidly!) I am a deputy in North Florida and most cops up here love and own big trucks and muscle cars. As long as you're not a wreckless jack *** for the most part they are pretty cool about letting you have fun.

 

kick ***

i would prefer going to the track tho

That's how most of the local deputies were when I lived up in St. Johns county.

 

IN RE: STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES
3.04(c)(2) ENTRAPMENT
This instruction is to be used for offenses occurring on or after October 1, 1987.
The defense of entrapment has been raised.
(Defendant) was entrapped if
1. he was, for the purpose of obtaining evidence of the commission of a crime, induced or encouraged to engage in conduct constituting the crime of (crime charged), and
2. he engaged in such conduct as the direct result of such inducement or encouragement, and
3. the person who induced or encouraged him was a law enforcement officer or a person engaged in cooperating with or acting as an agent of a law enforcement officer, and
4. the person who induced or encouraged him employed methods of persuasion or inducement which created a substantial risk that the crime would be committed by a person other than one who was ready to commit it, and
5. (Defendant) was not a person who was ready to commit the crime.

It is not entrapment if (defendant) had the predisposition to commit the (crime charged).
(Defendant) had the predisposition if before any law enforcement officer or person acting for the officer persuaded, induced, or lured (defendant), he had a readiness or willingness to commit (crime charged) if the opportunity presented itself.
It is also not entrapment merely because a law enforcement officer in a good faith attempt to detect crime
(a) [provided the defendant the opportunity, means and facilities to commit the offense, which the defendant intended to commit and would have committed otherwise.]
(b) [used tricks, decoys or subterfuge to expose the defendant's criminal acts.]
(c) [was present and pretending to aid or assist in the commission of the offense.]

On the issue of entrapment, the defendant must prove to you by a preponderance of the evidence that his criminal conduct occurred as the result of entrapment.


So, if you choose to race on the street (have a predisposition to the criminal act) then it is NOT entrapment merely because the next Mustang GT or Cobra that you decide to race is coincidentally driven by a Law Enforcement Officer.

 

Brevard has some all black mach1's. I heard a rumor about a riced out civic in the Merritt Island area, but thats just rumor i guess.

 

I always like the cop stories there is so much in them I just don't know what to think. Stuff like this
is complete

 

You could've gotten a few tickets for what you did. Tailgaiting is illegal, as well as reckless driving. Reckless driving is "opinion based" so they can pretty much say that on almost anything. But here it seems to apply. I can imagine getting in front of someone and then slowing down is illegal too. If it ain't it should be I'd be pissed

 

you can get a reckless ticket for "Breaking your tires loose from a stop" as it said on my ticket. i was leaving a nightclub, it had rained a few hours earlier, and I was making a left, and I spun my tires just a tad. Guy was going to get me for "Reckless Driving" I thought he was joking. He wasn't.

 

There's another 2005 GT thats like a champagne or pewter color that has procharged badges on it. I wonder what you can get if you just mess around with them, but don't exceed the speed limit.

 

Damn, they're everywhere ... thanks for sharing the info. I'll definitely watch out for them. I never race anybody unless they pick on me. I think they migth only ticket or arrest you if you're an aggressive driver. If you mind your business, then, they shouldn't be intimidating you.

I guess a GT with a NOS plate or procharger badges is about intimidating enough ... :o)

 

if anybody drives through hillsborogh on the interstate and through the city watch out, my father is hsco deputy and they now have all black, blue, white maroon and gold unmarked cars, they also have some cars that are just normal sedans until you get under the hood, watch out for the cars that have buccaneers bumper stickers on them, they actually have a few suped up imports in their arsenal, and they are quick. becareful and be safe guys, later
