hey, i love BMWs and ///M cars best of all, just not when they are next to me. E46 and E39 may have me for straight lines, but I own corners.

I have a good one to tell which took place just a few days ago. I was driving home in the 740i around midnight down Illinois road, a very long stretch of four lane asphalt when a city cop blew past in the opposite lane probably doing around 90 in his Crown Vic. ( I was cruising at about 65 ) The little hipocrite had no sirens on so I knew he was just goofing around. No other cars in the vicinity so I shut my lights off and nailed the accelerator and soon blew past him at around 110. Immediatly his siren began flashing but I was way ahead by the time I turned off onto the next side road and lost him completely. Risky business, but I had to stick it to him.

of course, that would be quality fun. Stupid cops, they need stuff like that to happen to them.

i love stories like that. ive only done it a couple times, but running from cops is soooo much fun! i dont mean to encourage it, but did i get a mean rush!!

my most recent encounter of this kind was a few months ago. i was driving home in light traffic on the parkway(65mph) going about 80 and i passed a cop right after i had broken out of a light pack of cars i looked in rearview and saw the brake lights and knew he was getting ready to pull out. i proceeded to put the gas pedal down since the next exit was 2 miles away. while he was fighting through the traffic i had emerged from i was already going over 110(i didnt hit the cars max speed but when i glanced at the speedometer it was well past 110). after the next set of turns i couldnt see him in the rear view anymore and got off the exit at about 90. when on the back roads i drove calmly home with a cold sweat. it was so great!

In a Civic? That's pushing it. One of the biggest mistakes people make when they run from cops is they do it in a rusty pickup or a hatchback with no juice. You were fortunate, I suggest you use a faster car in the furure. Good job though! :P

Okay this may seem like an odd question, but why is it that in the US the copcars do not have photo cameras? I mean just sitting on the side of the road waiting for somebody to come racing along and then pull out and race after that person is a really ineffective way.

Lemme explain how it works over here.

The cops have 2 kinds of mobile speedtraps. The first is where a copcar sits on the side of the road with a built-in camera or a camera on a tripod. When the radar detects you are speeding *FLASH* and the ticket follows. If you are 40km/h over the speedlimit or you are driving dangerously then they will call in for backup. Somebody will stop you down the road and escort you to jail.

The second is where they have a cop stand on the side of the road, behind a tree, pole or bush with a radar/ladar gun. Down the road there are motorcycle cops and a roadblock. If you decide to run, which is a very bad idea, then those motorcycle cops will eat your tires for breakfast.

We also have camera's along the sides of the road which patch into a commandcenter somewhere. They can see just about anything and take action accordingly. When they spot somebody doing some dangerous driving they immediatly call up the Porsche squad and with in minutes those Porsche 911's will escort you to jail.

In any case they have your licenceplate so running won't do you any good, it will only make matters worse because they know where to find you.

The Dutch gov takes their speeding voilations very seriously, I've even heard of some cases where the Dutch Royal Guard (Koninklijke Marechaussee or KMAR for short) had to arrest foreign NATO soldiers because of their voilations. You don't want to mess with the KMAR, those guyz take their job very seriously and are armed to the teeth. If you've ever been on any dutch airport you've probably seen those guyz with 2 Glock 12's, an UZI and an MP5-10 walk around, that's some serious hardware to walk around with.

The USA is huge on civil liberties. Most of the socialist simplifications to bueracracy and law enforcement would go against our strong sense of absolutism in justice. Thus, the cop must know who is driving the vehcile. Furthermore, it has i believe been found not legal to have radar cams in the USA (possibly unconstitutional, I'll have to look into it). The cop cars do by the way have video cameras, some of them have a system that has the video camera follow radar targets.

i know! if there was no traffic or if the exit was any further i would never ever have risked it.
as far as the dutch traffic enforcement: ouch!

one time in drivers ed i was driving the 97ish ford contour and pulled up to the light next to a monte carlo. i knew the jerk in it, and he sees me and starts revving his engine. when the light goes green i punch it and get about 3-5 car lenghts ahead and then the drivers ed teacher slammed on the break and chewed me out but oh well
