Default i got pulled over by 2 sheriffs

so last night im driving into downtown on 45 going north, im about to get to the scott exit and i see a truck on my ***, so sped up a little, im probably doing 65, but this truck gets on my *** again, and im getting pretty ticked off, so speed up a little more, 70. this truck keeps on my *** till i finally i switch lanes and slow down, but he just gets behind me. so i speed up again and im doing 85, i was gonna down shift to 3 and take off hard but i didnt. any ways it never once crossed my mind that it wa a cop, but he turns on his lights and pulls me over. i pull over right away and he asks me, whats ur hurry? i told him the truth i had no hurry he got on my *** so sped up hoping he would back off but he never let off. another sheriff truck comes up and they all get off and start looking into my car with their flash lights and i asked one of them if they wanted to get a closer look i could get off. one cop said they were 4-5 cars behind me, that was bs, and he also said i was speeding before they got behind me which i wasnt. but the cop that came to my window was cool, he let me off with a warning. its pretty funny though cause the girlfreind had been nagging me to get my registration ticket for a while, but i kept on putting it off for like 3 months till finally yesterday morning i bought it if i hadnt bought it that would have been a ticket 4 sure.

Man that same thing almost happened to me, a car got up on my *** big time while I was going like 75 on 820, I was like "WTF PUNK" and I was about to kick it in low gear and tear the f*ck off, but I hesitated for some reason, and then realized it was a cop. Right when I realized it was a cop the lights went on.

Got a warning, said he clocked me back before he caught up and I was doing 95, I didn't argue with him, I was probably going at least that

Got a warning. My inspection was out too, but he came to my pass window so he didn't notice! SCORE!

He told me I have a nice car too

thats awesome! the cops that got me didnt compliment my car, but i had a feeling they were checking it out when they were probing with their flash lights. im just glad they were cool about it. i wasnt so lucky with another cop a few months back. he got me for no front plate, expired inxpection and a noisy muffler! what a tool. anyways i got a lawyer, it cost 125 and in august the trial by jury and the lawyer should work out for me

Owned!

Hell, I got pulled over not to long ago after running a red light (on purpose), I had my inspection out, AND I was running open LT's.

Still just got a warning. I'm a lucky bastard.

i believe the definition of this situation is 'entrapment', right?

personally, i never really give a damn when someone is tailgating me. maybe that's just the Masshole in me talking, but if someone bumps you, they owe you a nice clean new bumper... so its in their best interests to back the **** off.

and if you 'brake check' a cop and he hits you, his *** has better be liable, cuz you damn sure know that if you were on the road and you hit someone cuz you were tailgating and they stomped on their brakes, you'd be at fault.

its an slp loudmouth, i personally dont think its loud enough but the cop that pulled me over that day thought it was too loud. it pissed me off that i got pulled over yesterday for speeding up cause someone was tailgatting me! i asked a judge i know if i messed up by speeding up, he said no that if someone is tailgatting you theres nothing wrong with speeding up to avoid an accident. he says the sheriff was in the wrong. i guess when i told the cop i sped up cause he as tailgatting me he decided to give me a warning. im not gonna lie i speed, but not too bad. it sucks speeding at night cause its harder to tell if theres cops around

nice. I'm gonna pick up my own video camera this summer probably. I already got fucked by a state trooper up by college station when he lied in court so i'm definitely interested in a little audio/video proof of my stops from now on.

A couple days ago this white van was up on my *** for no reason, i was in the passing lane at the time, so i had to get to around 75 to get around everyone and let him through. Finally when i got over he zoomed past me, and the thing said Sheriff on the side. I was like oh ****, but nothing ever pulled me over, and he proceeded to tailgate the vehicle in front of him.

yeah man, those ******* troopers around here are ******* dicks with a capital "D". i had one pull me over once in my last car (95 T-Bird) for expired inspection. he gave me a ticket for that and gave me a warning for my out-of-date address on my license, but then he proceeded to test the ******* tint on my windows, and told me it was illegal, even though i had it put on by a shop and they had one of those little stickers between the tint & window stating that it complied with the laws.

luckily, he just gave me a "warning" for that too, but i'd have fought that **** tooth & nail if he'd actually given me a ticket for it.

it was some ******** black state trooper who apparently thought his **** didn't stink, he patrols (?patrolled?) out on Hwy. 30....don't remember his name, it was several years ago....

but i knew that all he was doing is trying to delay me as long as possible from getting to where i was going...and i wasn't even speeding.

I got a ticket in my old car (normal 4 banger car) the state trooper said i was going 86 in a 70 and i will sware to this day that i was doing about 73 even had a friend in the car to vouch for me... so i went to court over the ticket. and basically all that happend was I tell the judge that i was doing 73 the cops says i was doing 86 (and of course the judge believes the cop) then i have to pay the ticket.. i was pissed and got a ticket for doing nothing wrong. and had to pay it.

I tailgate people only when they're on the left lane going 60mph. That lane should be for 70mph and ^

And when poeple tail gate me, I just keep cruising at my speed. Why speed up an risk getting a ticket. Plus, they're the one riding your ***, so **** them off more by maintaining your speed or just slow down although if you slow down too much it can get you ticketed too.

Yeah, I can't stand TX DPS. I got a ticket on the way home from Lubbock one night that was complete bullshit. I had to leave my car at TSP because it dropped a valve and trashed a head on the way down there. So I'm driving home in a 198? Oldsmobile 98 that I had to borrow from my grandma's friend. I had the cruise control set on 65. I was in a group of cars going around a curve (I can't remember what the town was, about halfway between Lubbock and Amarillo) and when we get out of the curve this DPS guy comes hauling *** out of nowhere and pulls me over. Said he clocked me at 80. Obviously it was one of the other cars but I couldn't prove it. Now I'm pissed off again just thinking about it.
