i dont street race but this is just taking it over the limit.. its cool with the american cars the dodge chargers and the taxi cabs but nissans?

[dangeris]

Them Rat Bast*rds! How dare they pose like that!

I don't street race myself nor do I condone it but I guess its all well and good if it will save the lives of innocent people who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when morons decides to take it to the streets. They should just take it to a safe and controlled environment like the race track.

I wonder though what the PD does with the extra parts they take off?

[Shift_Altima]

My Coupe. I'm surprised ur mad about this to be honest. U live in NY and you haven't heard of the cops in jersey city?? One of them also has a completely decked out 350z. He caught one kid i know. Revved at a light and the kid had a souped up honda prelude. They both lanuched and pushed their cars then he got behind him.. arrested him and impounded the prelude.

[Absolute Zero]

I believe Atlanta had a drug dealer's H2 at one time (they might still use it).I would be crying if that was my 350Z though.

[spike228]

Although this isn't totally new to me....holy crap.

The reason why I say it isn't new to me is because 3/4 of the highway patrol here don't use the standard crown vic anyways. Its all Altima's, Camry's, HIghlanders, 4runners, and other random regular cars with a tiny blue bar on the top of the car.

But the mustang and Z....wow....so....where do I sign up to be a highway patrol officer?

[TheBourneAltimatum]

vid is not working

[08altima35]

cops alone are some of the worst on the street. why give them cars like that? ever see cop cars flying at about 90 down the highway for no apparent reason, or just cruisin' in a 35mph zone at 60. i see this sh*t all the time here in dallas, but who's going to tell them any different. mustang's have been cop cars before. supercharged foxbody 5.0's for California Hwy Patrol back in the day.But a Z?they've just went too far now.

[adidas2go]

leave it up to east coast police to come up with some gay **** like this, god im glad i moved to socal

[gatorglaze]

You really think that the west coast isn't going to pick up on this? Seriously...**** the fuzz, they piss me off. It makes me mad when you see them speed through red lights with their sirens on and turning them off when they go around a corner. I followed one of the ****ers just to see him turn his lights of.

[TheBourneAltimatum]

can someone please tell me what i am missing. i dont know why the **** it aint loading

[gatorglaze]

Cops taking confiscated cars, legalizing them and using them as police cars. Other words, nissan 350z and a mustang being used as cop cars. What did they pay? Ziltch. Maybe a couple grand to remove illegal parts but its not out of their pockets.

[08altima35]

the mustang prolly had custom wheels, and a pioneer z2 for it's modlist and the cops and media blow it up to tens of thousands of dollars in upgrades. tens of thousands of dollars in upgrades wouldn't be some sh*t you could just unbolt and go on about your business. typical

Not as long as the CA traffic laws say, for safety reasons, a traffic officer or peace officer has to be in a marked car with a distinct uniform to oull you over

I like this place but some of you people are acting ridiculous. Why, when criminals push the envelope, are they called "cunning" or clever, but when the cops do it, it's unfair? Give me a break. If you weren't street racing or breaking other laws in the first place, you wouldn't have to worry.

And to the brain-giant who's complaining about the cops busting red lights. Seriously. Put some honest, critical thought into it. Why would they be in a hurry? Are you going to argue that they're just trying to get to lunch quicker? Get over yourself. They are on the clock, getting paid no matter when they get somewhere. Most police departments have EXTREMELY stringent policies as to when their officers can activate their lights/sirens. If the police officer fails to stay within these guidelines and wrecks, that officer is probably out of a job. He's also probably going to be civilly liable for any damages. Do you really think most cops are willing to bust a red light just to get to the donut shop quicker?

Like I said, there are only certain circumstances that enable an officer to run emergent, unlike most fire departments, who will do 100mph to a call of a dog locked in a car. Most PDs require a substantial risk to life or safety being involved before an officer can turn his lights on. Cops, however, will "fudge" on the policy in order to get to certain calls quicker. Oh, your house has been broken into and you don't know if anyone's still inside? Sorry, that doesn't qualify for full-out emergency response, but I'll bet you want the cops there ASAP. But you're right...I better not use my lights to get through the 15 red lights between my location and your house. What? Thos kids are spray-painting your white picket fence again? Sorry...that gets routine response, per policy. I may, however, exceed the speed limit a little in the interest of catching the little bastards, but you can be damn sure I'm not turning my lights on because that is deep ca-ca if I do. So is speeding, but I do it anyway so the caller doesn't b**ch that I took too long. Let's not even consider the fact that there are some calls that I may be allowed to run hot to, but I WON'T in the interests of actually catching a suspect. Do I really want to blaze into a burglary in progress with all my lights and sirens going? Why would I do that unless I wanted to alert the suspects that I'm coming for them?

Ugh, I'm done with this thread. I still like this forum, but some of you should either think before you speak, or just eliminate typing a response altogether.

To those of you that would presume to tell me how to do my job, how's this for a deal...the next time you call 911, make sure to tell the dispatcher to have us obey all traffic laws while we are enroute to handle your burglary call. I'll be more than happy to oblige so I don't have to risk my life for some ungrateful complainer.

But if you still want to tell me how do to police work, maybe we can work out a time for me to come to your place of work so I can tell you how to make my fries taste better.

[dangeris]

Wow...Don't hold back man..tell us how you really feel!

I agree with you whole heartedly.

Isnt that entrapment.... the kid would not have been speeding if the cop didnt pull up next to him and start revving his engine

oooooh...another good point!

i like it good thinking

[jackspat2]

I'd have to agree with 121 traffic. I know that the use of siren is restricted heavly in certain areas. As far as police breaking the traffic laws "just because" ..I haven't seen this. And even if they do, it doesn't really inconvience me, as long as they do it safely. I used to install hidden lights, sirens and radios into Camrys, Maximas, and Impalas. These cars typically were not used for traffic enforcment but for detectives.

I had a friend that was killed due to kids racing. Street racing in California is a serious crime; felony punishable by up to 6 months in jail.(more than a DUI) It's even a misdemeaner for just being a bystander. Sort of a big deal here in so-cal.

[Juiced06]

watch out for sneeky cops man. if you pay close attention to the cars you should be able to distiguish the difference now that the word is out

look for the lights in the grills back windows above the headlights

Do you live in a perfect world or something. Cops 100% abuse their power especially near where i live. I saw a cop in an unmarked car tailgate the guy infront of him to speed up then pull his *** over. He provoked him and pulled him over. Don't say that they have strict laws. Numerous times i've seen cops bust on the lights and run a red then shut them off and keep cruisin for no reason. Better yet.. I was sitting in a starbucks and saw a cop turn on his lights fly thru a red light slam on his brakes and turn into dunkin donuts across the street. A few minutes later.. a second cop followed. Don't even say that cops don't abuse their power. I'm not saying that every cop does it or that all cops are bungholes. On the contrary, I have a ton of respect for most cops. But there are a handful who are complete jerks and for u to say that they don't abuse power and that what ppl are saying in this thread are ridiculous is a plain joke. Its a system based on trust.. and some cops can't be trusted but in the end its a person's word against a cop's word and who do you think is gonna win in court? The answer is pretty obvious. Here in NJ the cops are some of the worst.. they are liars and jerks and for you to sit there and bash ppl for thinking so.. well thats plain stupid. You sound like a very honest cop who abides by the law.. doesn't mean everyone else does.

Isnt that entrapment.... the kid would not have been speeding if the cop didnt pull up next to him and start revving his engine

I wasn't very close friends with the kid.. I actually heard teh whole story through a different person so I don't know the exact details. But I know this cop does exist and the Z does as well. And in the end.. even if it is 'entrapment' who's gonna believe a 20 yr old kid who got arrested vs. a cop in court?

[niztec]

thats funny that they have a Z as a cop car, but then again...makes me wanna get a Z and work for the force haha

[adidas2go]

sounds like some fast and furious sh*t to me

[08altima35]

way to speak for the entire police population 121.

Don't act like there aren't any officers who do these things, because that's just being closed minded when we all see it happen from time to time. And, about your fire dept. claims of rushing to a scene for a dog locked in a car? The fire dept. is actually held accountable for their repsonse times and these times are documented on every call for reasons that because of your comment i'm sure you wouldn't understand. some cops are great at there jobs and i'm not trying to state otherwise, but saying that all cops who do something illegal have an agenda making there actions legal is bullhonky. and if a z pulls up beside me and revs his engine, good luck trying to pull me over after that.

[jackspat2]

Wow. That's pretty shady. I'd have to walk over and have a little chat with the officer and get his badge number. It's not against the law to have a little chat with him.

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Haha wth happened to this thread, people are writing essays. All I'm going to say is I'm glad they don't have to deal with cops like these. Oh yeah, and this really isn't something new.

From your post it sound like you're a cop. Hey, i don't got an issue w/ cops using their sirens when responding to calls and shiets. But personally i've seen a few times where a cop just turns on his sirens, make a left turn while everyone scramble to get out of the way. As soon as he's done turning, he'd turn off his siren. WTF?

[gatorglaze]

Entrapment? I've been in my friends car before when a crown Victoria in front of him slowed down to 25-30 in a 45 mph road and when my friend passed him, the lights went on and he got a ticket for passing a police car.
