I was going up 287 North cruising at about 120 tonight and I saw a cop in front of me so I slowed down and got in the right lane to exit. The cop slowed down and got behind me on the exit. She then flipped her lights on and pulled me over at a gas station. First she asked how fast I was going and I replied with "I'm not too sure." Then she asked why I got over to the exit so fast and I replied, "I didn't see it coming up that fast." She let me go with a warning of course. She was checking everything to try and give me a ticket. Too bad for her. I should be a little more cautious I suppose. But it was crazy.

A Ford Focus ZX3 saw me and came up on me to race me. I laughed a little bit. We got to a stop light and he revved and I saw the same cop turn in front of us. Funny.. The cop turned off and we raced and I have never seen something go into my rear-view that fast. Poor little car.

Just thought I might share my story with you all.

One of my favorite things to do was use my directional radar to get people speed coming up behind me and going away from me once that had slowed down to the speed limit and passed me.

Never wrote tickets for it but the look of suprise on their face when I told them their speed was funny.....I guess I will miss some things about being a cop.
