Default CRAP!!!! need thoughts!!

It was around 1:30 AM and I was leaving my friend's house to go home. He lives about 3 minutes away. So I pull out his driveway, then just FLOORED it for a few blocks. I noticed a car following me, even when I was flooring it. So I slow down a bit for the rest of the way. Then I turned onto my street, and he was still behind me. I stopped in front of my house and he stopped a few houses back. There were finally street lights, so I saw that it was a *@#@ing COP. AHHH!!!!!!

So i sit there for a little bit, and nothing. I pulled onto my driveway and sat there....and still nothing. Then I parked in my garage and snuck into my house.

Not sure how fast I was going...but I'm thinking about 60-70 in a 35 zone?

So...I'm super freaked out right now....he didnt turn the lights on or try to pull me over. what's going to happen?????

Maybe it was one of those security rent-a-cops. Or maybe as I am typing, SWAT is beating the crap outta you for driving 60-70 in a residential area.

This reminds me of the time I was going 10 over (50 in a 40, whoopee ) for about a mile 'til I reached my house. This was around 10:30 pm with no other cars around...or so I thought. I pulled into my driveway and this car stops behind me. I look and it's a cop. I'm like, oh crap! So, I pretend nothing's wrong and open the garage door. He drives away.

I wouldn't worry. If he didn't pull you over, consider it a warning. After all, it was 1:30 in the morning. I don't know how it is where you live, but here in CA, if they don't pull you over at the time you break a traffic law, you're pretty much free (except with those pesky stoplight cameras, of course).

he can always mail your ticket to you , i believe the cop has 30 days to do so , he doesnt have to pull you over to give you a ticket..

That is exactly what I was thinking. He may not have wanted to turn on the lights in a residential neighborhood that late at night so he just took your plate number and will mail the ticket. This should make checking the mail for the next few weeks a little more nerve racking. Good luck.

Wow, they do that where you guys live? Haven't heard of that happening here in Cali. I believe they have to have proof that it was actually you driving. The registered owner can't be faulted if someone else is driving your vehicle (which is not the case with boats here). That's how they can give you a ticket with the stoplight cameras, they have your picture. The only other tickets I've known of people getting in the mail (in CA) are parking tickets.

Was is a full out cop car with lights and everything, or did it have one those tiny cop lights that rent-a-cop's use? When you go into your house, did you peek outside a window to see if he left?

Try women's panty hose. It still covers your face up, not as hot, and you have more visability.

Your're luckier than my friend. A couple of years ago something similar happened to him. However, once inside his house he heard a knock on the door. Sure enough, it was the cop delivering the ticket. I imagine I just wouldn't have answered.

Default He didn't ticket you because

he was waiting for backup. It's obvious you are some kind of maniac so he just had to get the swat team with M-16s and flash bangs. They will probably bust in your door tonight with the battering ram, and plant some crack in your house to make the bust legit.

just my thoughts.
