Ever out run the cops or try?

[Stumpalump]

My fist car when I was 15 1/2 I was flying down the big hill on Meridian in Indianapolis. Right at the bottom was a cop that turned on his lights just before I got to him. I was allready going at least 70 in a 50 so I floored it. I fiqured he had to get up to speed climbing the long hill. My 318 plymouth got up to 105 but when I tryed to make the first turn up over the hill I spun. The spin had me pointed right up a drive way so up the driveway I went. Turned off the lights and the cop flew right by! I snuck out the back way and made it home.

[Steve]

Yes. Once. Was successful, or I probably wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now. ;)

[zoriloco]

Never in my life have I ever attempted to do it and I hope it stays like that. :D

[DaJudge]

I did something similar in St Joe, MO when I was 16, driving my Dad's '59 Ford retractable hardtop convertible. After things quieted down I put up the top, exited the hidden driveway I was in, and crept home. A girl in my HS class drove an identical car. The cops came upon her later that night and gave her a really hard time for eluding but eventually let her go without a ticket. She still gave me a hard time about it 45 years later at our HS reunion.

I did it once on my dirt bike as a kid when riding on private property and got away once. The next time the officer was also on a dirt bike and was a lot better rider than I was. He only made me walk the bike home which was about six miles away, riding behind me the entire distance. Once there he let my dad decide what my punishment should be.

I wonder if the Colorado Springs police still do patrols on dirt bikes....

[Oscar]

Only on foot I was 12. I was being naughty the Catholic Church's bell hung in a trre outside the church. I decided at 2Am would be a good time to ring it. Hey I grew up in a small town.

[Dotcom]

i wouldnt say i ran from the cops but i did have an incident when i was 16 where i drove at a normal rate of speed but took a lot of turns through a neighborhood in an attempt to elude them after doing a break stand in front of one. ended up getting surrounded in front of a friends house. after they tried to get me to admit to "running" from them i told them that i was just going to my friends house and when they knocked on the door to see if the resident knew me, he said he did so i was off the hook. now that im older i don't drive in any way that would bring me to the cops attention and if i did i would not run, its cheaper to just pay the fine.

[Loki]

I did once.

It was in a school zone. :eek:

Does that count? :shrug:


:beer: :flipoff2: :beer:

[starbreaker666]

Never out ran a cop but friend and I pulled over a cop going hella to fast in the ran with no lights.. He was unamused we were tailing him at 95. When he finally flipped the lights we pulled in behind him. Again he did not find that amusing.

[ZooMad75]

:beer: :flipoff2: :beer:

LOL!

I never did it myself as the driver, but I was a passenger. My buddy from HS was always driving like a maniac in his Tempo. One night in a subdivision near 64th and Ward road he decided to play race car driver and try to "hit the apex" of a sweeping curve when an Arvada cop was coming the other way. The cop flipped a quick u-turn and we started taking side streets. We got to one, went halfway up and parked. We shut the lights off and ducked. We watched the lights fly by on the street we turned from.

Another time he did the same thing on the frontage road to I-70 near Medved Chevy. This time a Wheat Ridge cop caught us and red us the riot act. He didn't get a ticket though...

I had one chance to run myself coming back from Boulder one night on Indiana st near Rocky Flats. I was in my 69 Nova and I started speeding near the last hill before the old RC airstrip (houses are there now I think). I passed the cop doing 90 and was still accelerating. I saw the lights come on and had that split second thought if I can outrun him and make it home or should I stop and take my lumps now. I realized my Nova sticks out like a sore thumb so I better stop.

The cop wrote me up for 90 in a 55. To this day I don't know why he didn't add the reckless driving, yank my license right there and get my car towed. I got lucky and took a generous plea bargain for some points and probation. It still was a bunch less than the charges would have been had a run from that cop then.

[Milquetoast]

I ran on foot many times but never in a car.

My favorite one was when I was about 15 and ditching school. They saw me and started chasing. I knew the area way better than they did and played soccer about everyday so I was in a fair bit better shape then them. I jumped a fence in an apartment complex then jumped onto a wall and got on top of the carport. I laid there and watched them looked around for me for about 5 minutes while smokming a cig.

[CLYDE]

:D Many times as a juvie, never as an adult:D

[Leon Phelps]

Yup, been there, done it....

[JeepWheelin02]

Ran many times on foot from various underage parties back home. Only ran once on a motorcycle though. Got away every time. Im not that stupid anymore.

[Captain Obvious]

Back in a previous life, I was doing about 140 -150 on a county road in BFE and blew by a cop parked with his lights off... No idea why he was out there with his lights off at 2am. He hit his lights and I am already a mile ahead of him. I thought for a brief moment that I know I can outrun the squad car in the camaro easily, but you can't out run the radio. There was only a few ways I could go and didn't think I could outsmart the radio with the lack of road options, so I pulled over sat with the overhead light on, car off, license, reg, and insurance in hand on the steering wheel and waited for a few minutes for the cop to catch up. He came up to the door and asked me why the hell did I stop as there was no one between us and the Wyoming border. I simply told him that I knew I was caught doing something I shouldn't and owned up to it. He ended up giving me a ticket for a 70 in a 45 and a careless. Let me drive home... I surely thought I was going to be spending the night in weld county jail. Had I had known what he knew, I probably wouldn't have let off the pedal, but I don't regret my decision at all, it could have ended up worse, I screwed up and I got caught.

[bdog]

I used to go street racing about 2-3 times a week when I was 18-20. The cops always chased us off. One night I was riding with a friend who had a pretty fast Integra. The cop was going in the other direction towards us, turned on the lights and cut in front of us. My buddy when around him fast and furious style and booked it. Never got caught.

Now that I have the Tacoma, fully loaded dump trucks are the only things on the road I stand a chance to beat.

[Frank Z]

Yep.
In a school zone, with beadlocks, on a trail rig, towing 20 tons of hay....
and the front end was on fire.

[Mcstiff]

On foot from a party, did not want a MIP on the first weekend of college.

[oleblue]

Nope, not even the time was going 135 on south bound I25 just north of the Denver area. It was 3am, nobody on the highway - except the cop. I pulled over. He asked to see my license, I asked which one, drivers or pilots, and he laughed a little. He just started to talk to me and we ended up talking about the car, we talked for about and hour, then he let me go. No ticket. The car was a 69 Dart 500HP 340CUI.

[Steve]

Well there ya go Frank. That's why you're having such bad luck now, it's payback. :P

[Willy36]

I'm like a copdar. I see cops from 4 times the distance other people do. They can't catch me riding dirty. :flipoff2: The one time I didn't see the cops I got super lucky. I was going about 20 over at 12:45 AM when I was 16 and there were 2 cops on the side of the road. They were both standing outside their cars and just gave me a stare-down and didn't bother to chase me. I'm guessing since I was going in a straight line, I wasn't the type they were out to bust that night (it was a Friday or Saturday).

Anyways had the cops called many times on me when I was 10-15 for making my own mountain biking trails through people's yards, but I live so far away from everything, there was no way the cops were gonna come out for someone having fun on their bike. :shrug: Hopefully, my luck keeps up with me. Of course, it helps that my only ride is my Jeep. Kinda hard to speed too much in that beast.

[Jeepster-Matt]

Yep, but very minor stuff, well sorta.
Freshmen year of college my friends and I were very bored, we decided to play "bombs over Baghdad" with water balloons.
The game was that you walked outside on one of the crosswalks and pitched a water balloon at some unsuspecting sucker, when you hit them they would look all around but couldn't see you because you were on the crosswalk.
After a few hours of this the cops showed up and began policing around the dorms, my friend bet me that I couldn't hit one of them.
So I walk out on the catwalk and to my surprise there were 3 cops all huddled in a circle talking directly below me, I dropped the bomb and waited long enough to see it hit an officer directly on the head, and getting all over the other 2.
My friends and I booked it back to his room where we hid all evidence in the microwave and acted like we were asleep. The cops searched every dorm room in that building that night, when they got to ours we just played dumb, and they moved onto the next.
I wish I could go back to my freshman year, it was awesome.

[zillacon]

Was successful twice, one was pure Hp in my Dads 70 dodge and the other was a pull in and park and he flew right by.

[Budman]

Nope not me never. Never ran from the MO conservation agents on my dirt bike. Never ran from the entire West Plains MO, Howell County sherrif's dept, and the entire Troop G of the MO HWY Patrol on my Sport bike. Never from a OK Hwy Patrolman on my way to TX on my sprot bike. Never ran into Arkansas on my sprot bike (they have a law against chasing motorcycles there). Wow I never ran several times on that stupid sport bike. Never from the Spanish Police in Roda Spain. Never in my 69 442, and never in my old Cornet with a built up 440.

This conversation does make me wonder what the statute of limitations on such an offense is though

[Rhino95]

Was throwing snowballs at cars when I was about 12...everyones done it right? Cop pulls right onto the street. My buddy books it. Me and his brother just hang out there as we know it REALLY isn't that big of a deal. Cop just asked where we lived, phone numbers, blah blah blah. "Oh, and who was the kid that took off running?"

"Just another friend, he's an idiot. Don't mind him."

Woulda been off the hook, but the mother happened to drive by and see me talkign to a cop. Damn. Oh well. No harm, no foul. Let off the hook.

[trailbuilt]

once on a Navy base without a licence, with a drunk sailor on the roof...they locked the base down...didnt get away...it was during my dads retirment party...he got his ass chewed on and so did I....

once in Vegas...my Vw gti was faster than the cop car...but he saw my brake lights go off in the driveway.....Got off without a ticket...they really liked my dads truck...we talked about it for a while....

[van7559]

Ran from them not to long ago right in my neighborhood. Just got the dirtbike out of winter storage, got it cleaned up, and was putzing around to let it warm up when the biatch up the street called. By the time they made it to the neighborhood, I was dusty off my wheellie skills in fourth gear down my street, when i went by one sitting at the stop sign. Never looked back, he hit the lights, and away I went. Hit some of the fields behind my house (banning lewis ranch), and what do ya know here comes a cop in an suv, so I hit the sand creek pinned in fith up to my buddies house and called my wife to come get me with my pickup after having a few beers and hanging out. I think I honestly would have rather taken the ass chewin/ticket from the cops then from my wife. She is still pissed everytime she sees the bike in the garage, and wants it sold.

[DaJudge]

We are both safe. Forget it!

[supremebeholder]

Friend tried. He wasn't driving for about 5 years. :D

[Big Dave]

Ran on foot several times when parties got busted in HS and college. Only once or twice in a car though, and it wasn't really running, more making a bunch of turns in a neighborhood to make it hard to follow me.

[ni0h]

The car was a 69 Dart 500HP 340CUI.
:drool:

When I had obtained that same engine (and enhanced it with a DC purple shaft 4120231), my duster and I were too well-known for me to even THINK about eluding... but prom night 1982, 1977 Chrysler New Yorker with the 440, which, when you buried the throttle, shifted to second at 50, third at 98, and then rose to a pitch much higher than that at which last shifted(I was a musician). I was coming up Indiana 3 northbound into New Castle at 3:30AM. As I rounded a long slow curve, there was a vehicle with bumps on the roof. I saw brake lights, then rollers, but immediately he was out of sight and still not even starting to turn. I knew it was only about 4 miles to my turn, with one of the rare Indiana hills to crest before and another after, so I just left my foot where it was for another 50 seconds, then dumped and barely made the turn (hard to judge at that speed). Streetlights and the coming dawn let me get 3 out of sight, and I drove home very well-behaved from there.

I got caught the next week - different offense. Missed most graduation festivities.

[JeepTherapy]

The Summer before my Senior year in High School. I helped myself to some Tomatoes in the middle of the night at the Fruit Stand. I was chucking them at cars going down the main street through town. One particular car got three from my friends and I. It was then I noticed the lights on top. He turned the car around and headed toward the orchard. We ran through the apple orchard to my house and laid low for awhile.

The second time I was 11 miles from home with some friends and we decided to go swimming in the City Pool at 2 a.m. We noticed a police car roll up and park across the street from the pool. All of us jumped back over the fence when the cop turned on his light and yelled "freeze". I was out of there. I laid low in the hay field across the street and saw that all the others had been busted. I hitched a ride home and saw my mom and brother come home around 4 a.m. Later that morning and throughout that day I was awakened by my mom yelling at me. My friends told on me and I had to go to court, but they dropped the trespassing charge and let me off with a warning on the curfew violation.

[ni0h]

I just remembered one other time... I didn't run away. I just kept driving the speed limit. Coming north out of ... a town (unidentified since it's still on my commute), snowing, behind a landscaping-service truck that was driving 30mph in a 55 zone with pretty good road conditions... until I went to pass him. I had to run it up to 58 to finish the pass, and here comes a town cop down the hill. I saw him attempt a U-turn after we'd passed, and he slid off the road. No rollers, so I felt like I was just being a bad citizen, not a criminal, by driving the rest of the way to work instead of going back and dragging him out. I was pretty sure he would have let me go if I'd gone back to help, but I really didn't want to be late to work at my new job.

Damn. Now I really feel like a jerk.... more than usual.

[ziggy428]

A fella here outran 3 campus bike "safety enforcement cops" on a single speed cruiser while intoxicated, I almost shat myself laughing.

Same shit happened to me. I got away, but ratted out. I walked home at 2am. Scared shitless:D

[RebelRescuer]

Yeah, but I didn't realize I was running.

Nebraska has tricky airplanes that radio down to their troopers. Apparently he'd been trying to pull me over for two miles (which I seriously doubt because I think I would've noticed).

He wasn't very friendly and actually asked if I was in North Platte on vacation.

Yeah, I'm there because I read it was THE vacation hot spot.

He ran my license and gave me a professional courtesy, "drive safe maam".

[RebelRescuer]

Oh wait, I DID run from the cops and did it on purpose!

Hubby (who was my high school boyfriend at the time) and I were um...studying in his car at the Jeffco fairgrounds one evening when suddenly a spotlight from a cop car shone down on us from an upper road.

Being that we were studying in his dad's car, we bolted while the cop tried to get down to us.

That ended our studying for the night.

[4-rocks]

Troop D out of North Platte, what a bunch of AH's. They do their job though. Yea North Platte is known world wide as the garden spot of Nebraska, or is it the arm pit of Ne. I forget!

Geez, out running the cops. I thought it was a sanctioned sport when I was a kid. One of my buddies used to go looking for the cops just so he could out run them. The funniest time was in Denver, I was at a party that only had one bathroom so a couple of us went out side. It was snowing pretty hard so we started throwing snow balls at some people across the street that were heckling us about our junk. Well the cops showed up and we started to run, I pulled up my pants before I ran my buddy didn't. They caught him. I ran down an alley, made a few corners and fell down, slid under a Toyota, I think, and got stuck under this car. Hit my head on something under there and there I am, I can't get out because my clothes are caught on a bolt or something, I'm half under the car, half out in the snow. I figure I'm caught which is OK because I need some help. Well the cops didn't find me, about an hour later the party comes looking for me and found me about froze in this alley. They lift the car enough to drag me out. I't been 36 years since that happened and I still get razzed about that.

[creepycrawler]

Only did it once, long ago in Amarillo. I was on my GPZ750 & was riding with my room mate who was on his GS1100E. We hit the interchange curves onto I-40 dragging the footpegs & came onto I-40 right ahead of a cop. My friend saw him first, looked over at me, pointed behind us & hammered it. I was like, oh shit!!! I hesitated for a second or two & hamered it as well. By the time I got to the loop exit, I could barely see my friend & I could no longer see the cop in my mirror but figured he was still back there. I hit the loop, knowing that if the cop saw me take it that I was fawked because there was pretty much no way to get off of it between I-40 & where we lived so I just knew I would be seeing lights coming torwards me at any second. I ran 135ish all the way around the loop to our house. When I got there, My room mate had already stashed his bike in the shed & was sitting on the couch with the tv on. His bike was a tad bit faster than mine. :o

I blew by a cop doing 150-160 on my Ninja. I stayed on the gas and took the next exit. Then flew down the country roads and never saw the cop again. Got lucky that time.

[Knuckelhead]

Many times when I was younger on my Harley's. Pan head, Knuckle head, Shovel head, Evo and K model. The best one was crusing down highway 101 at 135 mph (capable of 155 mph) coming back from the Redwood Run and had to slow down to 85 mph for an accident on the side of the road. That's when the CHP hit the lights behind me. I only had 600 miles on a fresh motor. The CHP officer came stomping up and unsnapped his holster and shouted "what the **** is your hurry! Well, I lifted up my goggles and said " we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot here and can we start again?". He re-snapped the holster and then he told me this; His buddy had just gotten his CHP VAS interceptor (mustang) 2 days before and was bragging that "no one" would be getting away from him again. Well, this guy had been chasing me for 30 miles and I didn't even know it! To make a long story short, we both smiled and he gave me a ticket for 70 in a 55. I still have my Knucklehead and FXRC. Sometimes memories are worth remembering. I only cruise about 105 mph now. Oh yeah, that Shovel head motor in that incident was stock. I built it myself, tranny sprocket was 24 and the rear was 46...;)

[sonofmayhem]

Yeah, haven't spoke since then:D They tried telling me the cop knew there was 3 of us. Which he didn't unless he could see through trees in the dark about 100 yards away:rolleyes:

I did it once, and was smart enough to learn my lesson. Everyone does stupid things when they're young, and that's why us grown ups are so smart.

After that I figured if they nailed me doing something wrong, I should just be a man and own up to it. It's cost me a few bucks in speeding tickets, but it gives me a clear conscience.

Monty was driving his new car at 100 mph when a cop tried to pull him
over. He tried to speed away, but then came to his senses and pulled off
the road.

The cop came up to him, took his license, and said, ?It?s been a long day,
this is the end of my shift, and I don?t feel like doing more paperwork, so if
you can give me an excuse for your trying to get away that I haven?t heard
before, you can go.?

Monty thought for a second and said, ?Last week my wife ran off with a
cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back.?

?Have a nice weekend,? said the officer.

Did it once. Very drunk. Big wreck, fire & everything. Demolished mom's Oldsmobile Delta 88, with the 455 in it. And three pickups parked on a one-way street. First trip to jail. Dad was pissed. I learned.
