yeah that went out the window a long time ago....
I was with a friend in his mustang and we were just driving around at about 2:30 in the morning, down my road. Its about 1/2 a mile long, and we were driving a little aggressively leaving my house, but nothing too crazy. We got to the end to turn around and on our way back stomped it from about 20. His exhaust is kinda loud so you could definitely hear it, then he caught 2nd and just kept it going.. Keep in mind there is an elementary school about 1/4 mile from where we turned around.
So we saw lights pull into the road behind us and we slowed down to about 35ish. He looked back and said something about it would suck if that was a cop. Well we made it maybe another 1/8 mile before they caught up to us and it wasn't a cop. It was 2.
Basically they tried to tell us they saw us speeding, wreckless driving, all kinds of things, when all they did was hear exhaust. The cop looked into the window, asked how old he was, and told him to get out of the car because he was going to jail. They said they heard us from the school, but once they turned into the road we were on we were only doing about 40..
Basically he just ended up with 3 tickets though, none of which made it through court.

So exactly how many feet is required to get to any kind of speed...Assuming 45 mph (maybe high for a residential street) how many feet to get to that speed?
My car can get to over 97 mph in 660 feet...so please explain this logic?
Looks like a couple of kids got caught ******* around doing something stupid. But best of luck to them I did a ton of stupid stuff in my car when I was in college (last year and prior
) but got lucky they didn't get me for anything.
Lawyer up and hopefully they just get with with a minor traffic ticket.

Unless you gave them consent or a probable cause, you could had stopped them from searching your vehicle. Did you know that you can give consent to a police officer to search your vehicle and then if you change your mind, while they are searching, you can tell them that you withdraw your consent?
And for the case of these two guys, from what the story says, and if its true, the only thing the cop was able to get you for is "exhibition of speed." And from what I hear, that is punishable by a warning!! Dont know if the guys pissed off the cop, but Im pretty sure aint **** gonna happen to them!!
