No I havent thankfully, but I know a number of people who have. Didn't mean to scare the poo out of him, my point was just to be prepared for the worst.
It's so tough to resist the temptation to mess around on the street, but you have to realize the great irony of it all. The very thing you love about your car (that it's fun to drive fast) is the same thing that could cause you to loose your license and not be able to drive your car at all.
Reminds me of a Billy Joel song that goes "Mickey can't drive with a broken back, at least he can polish the fenders..." BREAK OUT THE ZAINO

guys..
before you all flame on him, i guess you should all see that he clearly says that he was NOT racing.. he was speeding and he knew he was wrong, he is here to ask for advice and sharing his story..
he has already admitted he was wrong to us, why would you all continue to flame on him? would that make your life happier? would that help on your insurance premium? give him a break man.

just to night i was fallowed and pulled over just before i took the cop through the BK drive through he thought that i was part of an official street racing team...(my car at the time had two laptops running with an array of cameras mounted in many places) i think thays why he was so suspicous . well in the end there was one cop just sitting in he car if i decided tto run and another shinning lights every were in side and out of my car. and the third one was talking to me. i told him i had been doing dounuts on private property. (i was curtesy of a friend) but my friend did not film me calming the cops down. it was crazy. in the end i only got nothing. haha. i almost made friends with the cop. at first he would try to ask me incriminating quiestions but all i would answer was "it was private property sir" and then i exsplaned why i chose the spot to be safe and showed how i under stood him stalking me for minutes truogh back allies. but i told him some funny personaly stories to try to get on the friend side and it worked i had them laffing at how the coon and broken my bumper. it was great

Ive been through the same thing as your getting ready to go through. If you havent had any previous tickets you might be alright as a first time offender. I can tell you that I had a few stop sign tickets when I went in for my 103 in a 55. I ended up doing 2 days in jail, $600 fine, 6 month suspension. That was with a lawyer. They were trying to put me in jail for 45 days. That was 7 years ago. I live in VA so, here the laws are real strict about speeding/reckless driving. All I can say is make sure you get a very good lawyer, get a speedometer calibration done, and make sure to talk to you lawyer often. If you have had any tickets you should go ahead and pull a driving record as well. For the lawyers reference. Id suggest to you also to slow down and drive responsibly until court at least. I wish you much luck.

When you go to court, you're going to run into a little problem. Police Officers, in court, are considered "officers of the peace" and therefore, whatever they say is presumed to be true, unless you can prove otherwise. Contradictory to the whole "innocent until proven guilty" foundation of our legal system, yes, but that's just the way things are. So if it comes down to your word against his, which it almost always does, you will lose. Unless you can find some concrete evidence that you weren't street racing, and that his assessment of your speed was wrong (which will be hard considering it wasn't), and you can't find some obscure law that makes the ticket unlawful, you've got nothing to stand on. The inspection and seat belt charges you may be able to get dropped, but that stuff is pocket change compared to the other two. Just hope he doesn't show up in court; that's probabally your only chance.
I hope you've learned your lesson.

I think it is funny it took the hypocrit bastard 5 minutes (of slow cruising after you got off the interstate) to catch you! such losers... lIke they don't street race where they know no other cops are around but themselves. I bet he went home and jerked off he was so excited. His payback from getting wedgies in high school maybe be almost complete.
Get a lawyer, try everything. I have court Dec. 17th (again) and once I get outta that ticket I will be filing a harrassment claim. Already been talking to lawyer and I have an excellent case, but he said getting out of this ticket will top it off so "get out of it" lol. Anyway, 9 pull-overs only 2 tickets both of which I did/will get out of. It is harrassment, they hate my car wah wah. $20,000 but I will settle for court/lawyer fees if they agree to fire the last cop that fudged with me. Thx

Yeah I was surprised when he pulled us over. Plus he gave a ticket to an SRT4 that was pulling out on the otherside from the intersection and wasn't even with us. We met up with him later, and he got slammed with a $1000 stating he was also seen street racing. All in all, I won't be out there again.
