So she told him "if your going to give me a ticket go ahead and right yourself one too for the same thing." Then he told her that traffic laws didnt apply to cops. Lucky her she just got a warning.

Also last night she brake checked a cop who was following her extremely close. The cop just passed her, put his spot light on her and drove off.


no offense- but that sounds like mty kind of girl!

Well I will agree and say that what she did probably wasnt the smartest thing in the world to do. I told her that, but she didnt care. She felt she the cops were in the wrong and that they should be setting an example for everyone and not abusing their power. Now to say she is stupid, i cant agree with that. She is actually a very very intelligent girl but she does have her moments just like everyone else.

You didn't tell him about the innocent squirrel that darted out in front of your car. You were trying to brake to avoid the cute little fellow.

Seriously, had he hit you it would have been his fault for following too close. He is required to maintain a proper following distance, as are all drivers. Being a cop doesn't make you above the law.

I was driving down 1960 in Houston the other day late at night... speed limit is 55 and there is a cop in front of me with no lights on doing 70 mph... so I am a good 1/8th mile back from him holding his speed.... he then hits his brakes and turns on his lights.... so I hit my brakes.... he then went back to 70 and I did it again... he finally hit his brakes and went down to like 35 mph... so I passed him and stayed right on the speed limit while he tailgated me for awhile..... first off he was out of his district... would have to pull me over and have a cop from that district write me a ticket... 2nd he didnt have his lights on like he was in pursuit... he is the law.... I was hoping he would have pulled me over... would have told him that he is the law and I thought I was doing the right thing because he didnt have his lights on and he is there to set the example

You think that the law enforcement agencies don't get funding from state taxes as well (thinkof state sales tax which is 6.25%, that's the BASE rate which the states gets, anything that goes over that is for the city).

Pair that with a TSTA sticker:

http://www.texasstatetroopers.org/

And you may or may not get a ticket for speeding in Texas. They'll probably be more 'lenient' on ya tho.
yeah..... last i heard a lot of that TSTA doesn't even hit the officers. I'll ask my parents neighbor this weekend if they actually care about that kinda stuff..

As for brake checking a cop, been there, done that. I get tired of them when they are riding my bumper, I'd rather get them (along with anyone else) to back the **** off just in case something did happen, then I wouldn't be a piece of cheese in a sandwich.

Back when I was in high school the local cop came in to speak to my government and law class and he told us that we can go as fast as him just not any faster.

for all of those saying cops are above the law... thats bs! get badge number, name, plate number... they have to abide by the same laws we do, especially traffic laws when they are endangering the lives of others by following 2 closely, speeding, etc

yea an officer came into my class last semester and told us that. so that weekend there was a cop going 70 in a 60 and i catch up with him than he gradually slows down turns his lights on and acts like he is getting in my lane and right as he's half way in the lane he gets back in his lane and exits. Than he looks over as he exits and i flip him off. You shoudl of seen his face.
