yep, you could have spent the day in jail. when i was 17 i was pulled over for "excessive acceleration" and had to spend the night in jail. this was in Plano and about 4 years ago. be careful out there guys because you never know how big the butt plug is in the cops *** who is pulling you over.
i just want to note that i was not racing anyone and i never made it close to the 40mph speed limit.

If you were shifting hard enough to chirp the tires in your high 13 second mustang, him pulling you over must have been warranted... Look around and be more carful when you goof around on the street.

[QUOTE=MrBill97396]The law is going to find a reason to pull anyone over that could lead to,alcohol in the car,drugs,warrants,the occasional dead body. You know the normal stuff the law frowns on.QUOTE]
Or the real reason behind all that... to get $$$

MAybe it would be some garbage like "Failure to control" or excessive show of force".
These days, driving a sports car is pretty much pointless. You don't even have to speed or drive recklessly in order to get a ticket.
Did you guys know that you can get a ticket here in Ohio for merely revving your engine @ a light??

-Exhibition of Acceleration
-Wreckless Driving
-Excessive Noise Violation
You could even possibly cited for racing as it could "technically" be seen as a contest of speed from the officer's perspective.
At least 2 of those citings are arrestable Class-B misdemeanors. While "spinning the tires" is not a definate arrestable offense, it could be passed down from CSPD's higher-ups that they cite all "tire spinners" for one of the Class B's that are arrestable.
You have to really watch your *** around texas in sports cars now... you have to REALLY know when, where, and how much you can play around on the streets... and still be willing to take the risk of getting a major fine or getting arrested.
It personally sounds to me like the officer somewhat understood the situation and was in a decent mood for the day, so he gave you a break... and also warned you to settle it down a little bit in the process.

Damn, glad Im selling my camaro, I would always slide around turns and such, since there aint **** else to do. Everything Ive gotten from CS cops I have deserved though, so I won't talk bad about them. It does seem like they were out pretty heavy today tho, saw a bunch of bike cops and cruisers on my way to class this morning.

After 4.5 years in College Station, I was pulled over once for no front plate. I just played dumb, and he gave me a warning. He was real nice too. Another time I was just almost out of a school zone so I speed up. The cop just flashed his lights and shook his finger at me. Even at Northgate when you could have alcohol on the prominade, I've never had any problems with the CS police. I was either lucky, or just respectful. They put up with a lot of smartass college kids.

Noise violations and exhibition of accel of speed are both Class C, and when I did mine about 5 years back I just got a severe tongue lashing.
And who the hell are those cops that patrol aound the "town" of Welborne? They setup the most **** poor speed traps I've ever seen. I mean once I saw him literally a mile out, slowed down, and he nailed me with the laser about 300 yards from him. Today I was headed back into Houston and got stuck behind a tractor, the cop swerved off the road and behind a tree about 200 yards ahead, then got me with the laser...while I was going like 20 in a 70 passing the tractor. I mean wtf, why would you even measure my speed at that point?
