ok, i've read instances where people said that they didnt bother stopping when they flew by a cop... couple of nights ago, i had the same experience. a friend in his 99 SE and i were just driving around, and i wanted to open the car up a little bit since i just installed my new exhaust. so the both of us come out of this looooong sweeping left turn at about 90-95 mph, only to find a cop sitting calmly at the side of the road. i took my foot off the gas for a sec, thought about it, and then just floored it from there on... my friend braked, saw me take off, and then floored it behind me! we took a twisty route and finally got back home. amazingly, the cop did not even turn his flashy lights on when we flew by him. it was a good thing his radar gun wasnt turned on, otherwise something else would've happened! what a night....! in any case, i love my new exhaust... cant wait for my ss piping to get finished too... must say the hks is really quiet, the drone is most prevalent between 2-3.5k rpms... which is really nice. cant wait to test it out on the track this week!

well my experience wasnt really consciously breaking the law with a cop there 
like i was drivin.. and i saw the cop in the shop... and its always the most hilarious thing in the world to see a cop in a donut shop... i mean thats like where they BELONG haha... its so hilarious but anyways
i saw the cop... chuckled.. then a second later i saw the sign and i jus had to decide whether to stop at the sign and i just cruised in the mall in 3rd gear so i was jus like watever and ran it... then i remember the cop was there... and i was like oh s*** =) then i saw him jus get outside of the shop, stand with his hands on his hips,... and that was it haha
concious law breakers/coprunners should be shot!!!! (newman) haha jus playin man... its all in good fun
that experience is better than all the times racing... its the most hilarious thing ever haah

I tried that once. I was driving down US280 from Birmingham to Auburn. Those of you from here know how much revenue is generated along this strip of highway. Anyway, it was about 11:30 PM on a Sunday night, tryin to get back to school. Anyway, I'm coming in to Harpersville and I pass a cop going the other way at about 75...in a 55. It was divided highway, so he had to keep going a little before he could turn around. I floored it and took the next turn, as I took another turn, he was just clearing the first one. Then I realized I was at a dead end...so I stopped. He finally got there and started yelling at me for running from him. Anyway, I got a $430 ticket for 77 in a 55 (aggravated speeding...I thought my attitude was pretty good) plus "attempting to elude". Oh yeah, that dead end street I was on, I had pulled right up to the police station

I've never tried to out-run a cop.
With my luck it just wouldn't work.
And I'd be looking at a ticket with a bigger fine for attempt to elude.
Maybe, if I were sure I could get away w/ it...
Usually I try to be real nice, yes sir, no sir, sorry sir.
[that sure ain't what I'm thinking though]
Got stopped for speeding not too long ago,
acknowledged the cop, and pulled off on a side road for safety.
Then was real polite.
Ticket would have been like $145, and a point
but he siad he was making it failure to observe a sign
$65 and no point.
I almost wanted to kiss him.
I bought a detector the next week.
Another time I'm stuck behind some jerk going real slow in an SUV.
Finally get to a stop sign at a Y intersection.
He stops. And sits there - all clear, but he has to make sure.
He goes straight, I'm going left, so I pull out,
cross the dbl yellow a bit and go left with out making a full stop.
I mean, I was stopped behind this guy, 12 feet from the sign
Just didn't want to stop again, and the SUV had me so p***ed off.
Well this Scum*** cop was just sitting there waiting for
this kind of thing and he pulls me right over.
I yes sired him and all, but he was a real harda**
He gives me the ticket and walks back to his car.
I say "Have a nice day officer" but sarcastic as hell.
He whips around and asks "What did you say!?"
I say "Have a nice day officer"...
"Oh" is all he can say all disapointed like.
But wait, it gets better...
So I went to court on this one - figured what do I have to lose?
He comes out to try to settle before we go before the judge.
I won't do it though.
They failed to send the deposition in time
and when they finally did, it wasn't signed.
So my case was pretty strong and I told him so.
He gets all PO and nasty
"I'll just write you another tkt"
[which he couldn't really do]
"and I'll put crossing the dbl yellow on it too."
Bast**
Well, in the end they lost the papers and the whole thing was dropped!
But I don't commute that way to work any more...

ONE TIME ME AND A FRIEND (94 PRELUDE)WERE RACING ON A LOCAL STREET IN NEWARK AND WHEN WE GO OVER A LITTLE HILL THERE WERE 2 COP CARS THAT HAD THERE LIGHTS ON COMING OUT OF A SIDE STREET. WE WERE DOING ANYWERE BETWEEN 60-70 MPH IN A 25MPH ZONE. IF THE COP DIDNT HIT THE GAS HE WAS GOING TO GET HIT BY 2 CARS.
