the cops around here will try to pull anyone over. i saw an eclipse get pulled yesterday for having a wing. I was going like 70 and he passed me pretty slowly. 2 miles later, cop + eclipse.

I just hate seeing a minivan do 90 and a civic do 70 in a 65 when the civic gets pulled and not the god damn van.

and you know the reason for the stop was because of the wing how??????

They actually took the light bars and put them inside the cars, so there is one internal rear bar and red/blue flashers in where the headlights kind of are. VERY tough to spot. Massachusetts uses freaking volvos at times...

I grew up in Yorba Linda. The cops ALWAYS hang out at Green River, sort of by the overpass, and also by where the golf course is. At times they'll get on at green river and have one guy on the overpass running radar, another at the onramp. Coal and Gypsum canyon roads are the other places they love. Also be wary of the toll road's complex. the cops can esily drive through there and get a radar reading, then have another officer pull you over coming on at YL blvd.

Bad times. You can't outrun a Motorola, and It's lucky that they didn't have the chopper up like they usually do, to prevent that from happening. Also, the YL Police have precisely nothing to do except issue traffic tix. If your car stands out at all, it's very easy for them to find.

The other thing you need to remember is that by weaving in and out of traffic, whether you claim to see the flashing lites or not, is reckless endangerment, and if you are followed by a helo and continue to book it through city streets, they will nail you on every single infraction. So basically by telling everyone this, you are advocating gambling with your life, and the lives of others.

$250 ticket vs. felony stop, conviction, jailtime / parole / record.

Yes, reckless endangerment and excessive speed is a felony, added to this is the fact that if they have tape, its very easy for a judge or jury to see that, yes, you were being a dipshit and you were trying to evade.

Just my 0.02. I hate going on the 91 when people like you are around doing stupid things. If you wanna speed on the freeway, find someone whos going the speed you'd LIKE to be going, and stay 1/4 to 1/2 mile behind them. that way, when officer friendly flashes his lites, the rabbit gets the ticket.

cops have Hummers

actually they are LED light bars. original poster was correct in stating they were low profile. they are clear until the switch is hit. very visible but only from certain angles unfortunatly. i dont use those, but surrounding agencies do...

ive never seen a volvo being used. some depts had them here in the 80s. anything can be used as an emergency vehicle if equipped with the right equipment.

my dad's friend is a state police officer. they will go very far out of their way to 'nail those punks' as he says.

Thanks for the correction, and thank you for going out every day and risking your *** so our roads are safer.

what about the corvettes, VA State Patrol use those damn things... I was like this little lamb going thru the Lions pit...

Here in AZ they have all kinds of sh*t, but I never heard of Volvo's, that really blows.
Here they have Explorers, Expeditions, Corvettes, Camaros, Dodge Ram, Mini-Van(WTF), Grad Prix, and the list goes on.
My uncle is a cop here, and he admits that they will write up "ricers" as much as posible.
