Po-po spotting/evading techniques

[Dozyproductions]

use you ebrakes to slow down...one time rolling into LA, it was late, hardly any traffic, so i was just a hair shy of a 100mph. while scanning my mirrors, i see one set of light in front of a pack of cars and it's coming up on me fast...so i slowly tug the e-brake and as i reduced my speed to 70ish, it was a CHP. that dude rolled up right besides me and him and his partner both mad dogged me for what felt like a minute, but probably more like 8seconds, then sped off. a friend later told me that in cali, they have to follow you for a mile prior before pulling you over. anyhow, that was a long time ago, and now im one of those annoyin dicks that just does 5 miles above the speed limit in the center lane.

actually its 3 miles.


edit: Or at least thats what the ex cop at my traffic school said :(

I live in the central coast up in the San Luis Obispo area. I recently came back from LA and I saved myself two tickets right after the Santa Barbara area. Pretty much I just kept my eyes peeled and as soon as i saw those wonderful unmarked white crown vics, in my rear view,in the way distance, i slowed down and let them pass after a couple of minutes.

I have to say its a lot easier not to speed. If its a 65 zone i cruise at 65 - 70 and enjoy the sites.

they work!
saved my ass a few times!

& just keep your eyes moving!

I'd say cheaper insurance is keeping the needle 5 or less over.

They do not have to follow you for a mile. That's bullshit. They just need to be directly behind you, or at a consistent distance to pace you to get a steady speed. I wish they did have to follow you for a full mile, but they most certainly don't, otherwise they would hardly ever pull over any cars by pacing them.

the cops in washington are sneaking now. they have a vet and a nsx. my buddy has a lap top with a wireless internet card and this programe that locks on to the police gps unit in side thier car. it gets as close 4 feet!!! it cost him about 1000 but its worth it. no more tickets!!!!

that cant be legal and if it is, it wont be for long. Anything that interferes with revenue generation quickly becomes illegal

Um, I use my two eyes and a V1 to spot cops. It works pretty well when I'm paying attention but is certainly not lazy proof, or against getting paced and not noticing the cop.. =/

V1 all da way. Probably has saved me $2000+ in tickets and expenses since I bought it. :)

I just make sure I'm never going obviously faster then anyone around me.

i dont remember saying to look for them behind you, did i , no i didnt

Do yourself a favor and realize posts don't always reply to the post directly above it. The OP mentioned looking in the mirrors.
Anyhow, aside cops spotting you hauling ass getting on the fwy, I just have a rant. 95% of all people completely SUCK getting on the goddamn fwy here. There's one onramp, I admit is a little tight, but its SHORT. It enters hwy 101 on one side of an overpass, then directly on the other side another on ramp merges. VERY SHORT merging time. Immediately before entering the hwy, there's a sharp turn and leaving work today I'm doing 30mph, i shit you not behind some econobox bottom feeder hippie mobile, and the asshole brakes to go around this turn, less than 100 feet away from entering the highway. God people are fucking STUPID.

I just remembered that when it was mentioned about not hauling ass getting on...it really pisses me off. I'm just thinking to myself, get the FUCK out of my way. AAhhhh!!!

I can spot a crown vic's headlights a mile away.

If anything these new "charger" headlights are more distinctive, so that's cool.

The new chargers are what most of the cop cars in Ontario are. I got FUCCCCKED by one. It was an undercover, Black but has the stock aluminum wheels.

If there close enough for you to see in your rearview, you're most likely fucked.

So you could just not speed. If you actually look at the amount of time saved, it isn't worth speeding. But then again I like cheap insurance.

ooh oh oh!

Enter freeway at normal speed, check rear, Stomp s52 with a 3.73 in the rear till your little hear desires. check on ramps. Here in texas they sit right over the hills or in low spots.

thats how they always get you:crazy: when your way out of hand. hauling ass getting on the freeway and flying by an on ramp.
