They assume that if you are running from a traffic ticket, that you are afraid of revealing bigger issues (warrant, drugs, robbery, etc)

What fun would it be to run and wind up only having run because of the speeding ticket? "Yeah, sorry, you guys totally wasted your money, I'm completely clean, but thanks for letting me know my tax dollars are getting well spent"

well if youre completely clean then why run from the cops...its a complete douchebag move and i hate to say it but i wish he would have hit a tree. like someone said b4, you can outrun a cop car, but you cant outrun police radio, and if you run from the police you get hurt

thats if they don't shoot you, like what happened in socal I believe. I can't find the thread right now but it was on here. Maybe in the crash thread. Evo running from the cops crashed, went to take off their seatbelt and got shot.

If you started to run and then got caught, and said that, it would be funny however I don't think that the cops would enjoy it.

Good point about a helicopter UT. I'm sure somewhere like Vancouver, WA they wouldn't call out the whirly-bird as I doubt it would already be airborn. Somewhere more metro with a chopper more likely already in the air they just might.

*Agreed with Geoff, do anything other than cooperate with the police and they get pissed. Once I was simply taking a left (already in the turn lane when the lights went on) and then an immediate right into a small, enclosed parking lot, to be out of the way of traffic. Needless to say, the cop assumed I was trying to run and was pissed!

I saw this car at the UT auto Show last month its nuts.

from chargerforums:
"So, a Chargerforums member mentioned that he knew that the UHP was getting three 5.7 liter Charger police cars fitted with all the SRT exterior stuff, bodywork, brakes, and wheels, and to top it off, a supercharger.

Now, Ive heard this sort of thing a hundred times before, almost as many times as Ive heard of SRT patrol cars, so I asked his source, which is usually where these stories fall apart, its third hand, or nothing to corroborate it.

Imagine my surprise when he siad he knew the guy doing the work, and even more, had pics showing everything clearly. So, any UHP guys have any info you can share about this? Its a real patrol unit, and thats a real blower under the hood. And I cant imagine anyone stupid enough to put false UHP plates and marking on one.

Its not the ever elusive SRT patrol car, but still pretty crazy. Conservatively, thats about 8-10K just for the non-police stuff, Spoiler, hood, fascia, and since SRT stuff doesnt come white, that all had to be bought and painted. SRT wheels, at $700 each, theres $2800, tires another $1200. Brembo brakes, another 1-2K"

Henderson PD in nevada is a pain in the *** about traffic stops. They have 2-3 cars on a traffic stop on some retired 90 year old going 2 over the limit. I got lit up as I was at a stop sign and I tried to make the turn so as not to hold up the traffic directly at the stop sign and he got all nuts with the sirens. Mind you he stopped me because he ran my plates and said they were suspended. I tell him I am not sure why because everything is up to date. He comes back 5 minutes later saying, "The reason they came up suspended is because I typed in 797 instead of 792 on your plate because I couldn't read it due to your license plate cover"

dick.

If I were to be dumb enough to run, and then even more dumb enough to crash. I wouldn't ****ing move until they told me to. When I get pulled over I shut off the car, take the keys out and throw them on the dash, leave my seatbelt on, and keep my hands on the wheel until they say otherwise, I don't move for my license or registration until they say so.

We have some of the coolest cop cars. I've seen some crazy *** undercover **** too. I wonder if my friend that works for the government and knows a bunch of the UHP guys knows any more about them.

+1 for that. Thats a good point you made.

Kind of contradictory, how do you know that if you were dumb enough to do those two first things, that you wouldn't be dumb enough to do the 3rd thing? Not saying that you are dumb, but obviously the driver was retarded and didn't have a clue how to react intelligently in a given situation. Once people start off in a downhill manner, it usually doesn't get better.

^good point.

BTW, I know some people in the Sparks or Reno PD. Not a pretty sight... My wife dated one of them and he was obsessed with her. Needless to say I don't break any rules when we visit down there!

That and they are everywhere! I was coming home from the ferry a few weeks ago and from i90 to i405 to SR-522 I think I counted 14 cops, WSP and non, with 6 of those actively pulling someone over. Date check - tail end of January.
