Pulled over last night :(
Was on my way home from work and everything is going well until i see this car in my rear-view mirror tailgating the hell outa me. I'm like what's this guys' problem? I didn't recognize the headlights as another mustang or comaro or any type of another sports car. I say that cause i thought maybe it was one of the many teenagers around here that like to try to pick on my car . Anyways i'm gettin' a little pissed so i start slowing down to 45 and speeding up to 60 (speed limit is 55). this guy doesn't do ANYTHING like try to pass or flash his high beams for the "go faster" signal. I slow to take a right turn to go home and then i see it, the red and blue lights come on. Oh sh--! I just ticked off a cop. He pulled me over, not for messin' with him (i.e. slowing down then speeding up) but for not stopping at a stop sign! Well i proceed to show him my GTS light covers and he's like oh ok but you gotta take those off, thier illegal. I guess he didn't see my brake lights come on so he assumed i didn't stop. He did a background check and didn't find anything cause i gotta clean record. He asked me why i was so nervous, and i told him i've never been pulled over before (it's true). He saw my "Military Police" Sticker i got on my rear window and then i told him i'm in the 855th MP Company and he knew a lot of the guys in there, I think that's probably one reasons he let me off, heh. Whew!

Highway Po-Po in an truck did the same thing to me except it was late at night in the middle of nowhere. He tailgated me for miles, and I wasn't about to pull into the driveway with some strange redneck riding my tail (didn't realize it was a highway patrol). So as soon as I turn on the FM road to my house, I punch it and totally dust him.
Didn't get too fast, maybe 70 in a 65, but I accelerated from him hard, and his lights came. He pulled me over in front of my house, and started asking where I was coming from and where I was going. I pointed to my house, and he's like, "Oh." Gave me a warning for "failure to drive in single lane" saying that I crossed the center stripe when I turned. BS. He thought I was running and decided he'd chase. Probably surprised him when I pulled over. --nathan
