Alrght so today I was next to another 240 when we passed a state trooper. If I had to guess I'd say we were both going 65 in a 50. So he got in his car and turned on his lights. By that time I was a whole bridge length ahead of him, not because I was running but because the traffic so he couldn't get on the road or pass anyone on the bridge. So I just continued on my way to school and never saw him again. Is this considering running? Would I be in trouble next time he saw me? Could he legally do anything or because there's no way to even prove I was driving today if he got me tomorrow. For all he knows my brother that doesn't exist could've been driving.

dont worry about it dude. if the cop wanted to get you he would have by now, yes he can still pull you over if he got your plates but if he didnt get close enough due to the traffic. then dont worry. just try to avoid that area if possiable for a little while. and if you must drive that route then just tone the speed down a bit. keep on driving.

No, it just means he got the other guy. I'd be more worried about the other driver if you run into him.

Also, your excuses are really lame BTW.

Did you increase your speed at all when you saw the lights or did you slow down?Did you try to increase the distance between yourself and the officer?

Well legally, he can't get you for what you did before the next time he sees you. But I am sure he will keep an eye out for you and make sure he spots a mistake that you make so he can pull you over for something new and because he is a cop, it could be a lot of things.

Just make sure to be on your P's and Q's next time you drive near that bridge.

Yea he probably has your plates which means he can show up to your door. Not really worth it for a speeding ticket though. Don't worry.

I left the details out on purpose because I wanted my question answered, not to have my driving criticized because I guarantee that would've happened.

4 of the 5 administrators on NICO are Federal Officers and the CEO is a PI.

we're a diverse group.

as long as it's not a cop bashing thread, I'll usually just lol at the tard that created it.

yes, I've gotten away from cops a few times.

will I brag about it? only when I'm drunk.
