Followed by cops all the time

zZSportZz

Growing up in a small town I really was NOT a fan of the police. In a small town with relatively no crime and only 1 police officer on duty at a time, there was nothing for them to do but harass and annoy. They literally drove around all day looking for the tiniest of tiny infractions because there was just nothing to do. Imagine driving around and getting pulled over because you have a graduation tassel hanging from your rear view mirror...or your tires are sticking out 1/4 inch (yes 1/4 inch - 55 dollar fine might I add).

With that said, moving from the small town to a crime infested area has given me a whole new appreciation for the police.

it may be nothing but they may just be waiting for you to make any mistake, believe me I know.

Although I have not gotten pulled over in my 370Z, In the last 18 months I have gotten two tickets in my old 350Z:

65 in a 55
64 in a 55

Both were on packed highways in the morning as I was going to work. One cop followed me almost 12 MILES, got beside me and as soon as I was going barely faster than him, he hit the brakes, got behind me again and gave me a ticket for 64 in a 55 - the speed everyone was going. He was already mad about something when he asked me if I knew why he pulled me over and I said "well you followed me 10 miles" and he said "I know" walked away and wrote the ticket. I have no doubt it was the car that got his attention.

if a cop gets behind me now, I get over immediately and then get back over after they pass.

either they are going 55 and daring people to pass them, or they are going 90 and tailgating people who won't get out of their way.

cops are people too but they are too often jerks.

Same deal back home, a friend of mine got pulled over, and ticketed, for going 66MPH...where the speed limit is posted 65MPH.

He was driving an older car, which more than likely, was off by 1-2%...

there is always two sides to the story. generally, people that complain, drive like a$$holes. (not meaning the OP does). second, id be willing to bet the coppers have no interest in you, they just end up behind you. if they wanted to pull you over, they will. you think they need a reason? ANY car, i dont care if your a saint with a perfect driving record, will commit a violation within minutes that is enough PC to get pulled over for.

anyways, most people hate the popo, but love them when their house is getting broken in to. it is what it is. ill follow a 370 just to check it out and maybe talk to the driver

anyways, my 2c...
