So, how many of you have gotten caught??
 

On my way tonight from Soccer practice, me my brother decided go pig out at BK after the long work out. We got to the shopping center to find the police had closed the ENTIRE shopping center, guess why?? A bunch or idiots ztreet racinz yo!!! getting tickets like a mofo.

This brings me to ask you fellow member, how many of you have gotten caught ztreet raccinz yo??

I once pulled a massive drift pulling out from a backroad to a country road and the cop let me off when I said my foot slipped off the clutch. I wasn't even racing, I just gave it a bit too much and decided to hold it out.

^^ Good one, with my luck that shit would have not fly... But I mean have any of you been at "A meet" for ztreetz racingz yo... and gotten caught...Some Fast and the Furious shit

The last time i was at the street races i was a sophomore in HS and was all sorts of disorderly at the time. Funny thing was this chick that i was trying to bang called me up at 12:30 and asked if i would drive her there. Even though i took her sweet little Asian ass there, I still didn't shit. :facepalm:

You shouldve taken her to a dark alley and show her your jonhson and be done with it. lulz

If i had a nickel for every time i would of used a time traveling device. Id have atleast a quarter.

Back in HS we used to race behind some office buildings, the cops showed up and wrote a bunch of tickets. My car wasn't there but I raced my friends escort against a saturn, of course they wouldn't suspect us of participating lol. All the V8 boys got tickets.

Undercover mode, this is not the case here most of the cars were Hondas with fucked up factory mufflers and some mustangs and of course one or two srt...

There was 3 mustangs,2 gto's, a T\A, and an old super badass super bee there. All loud as shit. We had been going there for about 4 months before the 5-0 caught on.

I got a ticket for racing a harley in my old S2000. The guy was driving like an ass and I decided to show him that his POS bike wasn't even remotely fast. Stupid move on my part. The cop let the bike go and gave me a speeding ticket for 93 in a 45, guess I lucked out. (I was walking the harley though, haha)

I was on the way to the street races one night years ago and nearly got ticketed. They used to race at one end of a divided 4 lane highway, the end that was dark and had little traffic. They would line both sides of the street, 100's of cars. Anyway, this night me and 2 friends were heading to that end of highway 280 to see if they were out there, we had no idea if they were or not. We got to around the usual place and just on my side of a little hill only 1/4 mile or so away from where they were racing were probably 15 cop cars waiting to attack. As soon as we cruised by they pulled out and all flipped the lights on and everyone scattered like roaches. We kept putting along and eventually got pulled over as we were about to turn off at the end of the road. The cop asked us if we were racing. "No sir, just passing through" which was the truth, we never stopped. He let us go, but they got about 50 people that night and gave them all tickets. It was pretty wild. Looked like that scene from Fast and the Furious. COPS!!!

nvr been caught in the act they got close a few time but im pretty carefull 99% if the time so nothing happened.

I have a scary cop sense. Often I can tell someone in the car with me that we will see a cop within 10 seconds, and it happens. Which is why I have NEVER gotten caught doing all of the stupid shit I have done over the years. I have deserved hundreds of tickets, and haven't gotten a single one, at least not for a moving violation. I also constantly scan both sides of the road, and shoulders, and also slow down for things like on-ramps, where as other people seem to speed with no thought to it.

You better knock on wood.


On-ramps are treated like drag strips in my car.

I meant as I pass them on the interstate. Cops like to sit on them and wait for people to pass. Most people don't think twice about it, but I at least keep an eye on them as I pass. I also treat them like launch pads (for my slow POS, shit rocket).

This isn't a street racing story but it's a good ticket story. I was driving home latish (around 8pm in the summer) in my 1987 Pontiac Turbo Firefly (3 Cylinder 1.0 liter turbo ftw). But anyways, I was on the passing lane section (2 lanes going one way, 2 the other), and I was coming up to where it all ends, and saw a car quite a ways ahead of me that I knew was a crazy slow driver. Once the passing lane ends, there is no passing lanes for a good 40 minutes. So I just hammer on the throttle and get the car pretty maxed out (hit 170ish km/h). I realize that I don't have enough passing lane to pass him, and there's no traffic coming, so I go into the opposing lane, and rip past the guy.

I then see a police officer walk into the middle of the road, pointing right at me. I slam on the brakes, lock all four wheels. I stopped just in time and pulled over. He walks up to my window and was silent for a bit, not quite knowing what to say. I had a box of breath mints and offered him one. He said "NO I DON'T WANT A MINT! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"
Yah it didn't go too well from there...

ftmfw!!!!!!!!

I passed some guy going stupid slow in 30mph 2 way street right as a cop was pulling up to the street. His lights went on but luckily I was on my bike, so I got away.

My friends and I used to play frisbee at night in the lighted middle school parking lot (we were in HS). Well one night we inevitably got bored and I saw that the sidewalk leading down the hill to the track was pretty wide for a sidewalk.

Friend: "betcha your miata won't fit on it."
Me: "here, hold my frisbee."

---minutes pass---

Cop: "Just what the hell did you think you were doing?"
Me: "uh, driving on the track?"

I got away ticketless. He said he was going to be back in the morning to check if I had damaged the brand new track. Funny thing is I tried to drift around the corner but didn't have enough power to break the tires loose, lolz. That's about my best story.

I can't even guess at how many times I've been blocked in while out screeeeet racings. I've only gotten a loitering and a DC ticket here and there though, never got caught in the cat....well, I did, but really, you think a cop is going to go after two cars when there are another 80+ that are sitting ducks? I've had a few close ones though. See, in GA, undercover cars can't pull you over. We were at this one spot, probably 100+ cars out there. I lines up with a new Mustang GT (this was in 05.. I had my sc'ed 99). I ran the Mustang and beat him. I was up to race a Z28 and right as the flagger raised his arms someone started yelling "COPS!COPS!COPS!" and we all started to scatter. I booked it to the entrance of the massive industrial park and dipped out right at 6 cars came in lights blazing. One did a U-turn. I thought about running but decided that maybe if I was cool leaving he just check me out and leave. Nah, he lit me up insted...

"What were you doing over there?"
"I was just there watching some friends race."
"Bullshit swamp breath. You were racing. We know you raed that Mustang and were about to run a Camaro"
**WTF?!?!** I stay silent.
"Get out of the car for me".
*gets out*
*cops looks at car*
"You mommy and daddy pay for your tires?"
"no."
"You mommy and daddy pay for your car?"
"no"
"You mommy and daddy bail you out of jail"
*lol*"no"
*cops rants about hating damn street racers when they could be out stopping real crimes and how we (kids) are so stupid*

Didn't get a ticket though. Funny thing is this county's police are soo friggin LAZY. I hate them...not because I have gotten tickets, but I see them pass soo much wrong shit, I see them break soooo many laws...hell, two of them were racing in their patrol cars on a road a killed a motorcyclist (but weren't charged because they claimed that the motorcycle didn't have proper taillights).

One spot we were at got blocked in one night and I dipped to the back of a building, found a giant tarp covering a pile of sand and put the tarp over my car and walked away. They never found me :giggle:

Another time some friends were lining up when a set of headlights appeared behind them. Next thing I see is the headlights splitting between them and hauling ass up to where we were chilling. Everyone starts running and I jump in my car. Right as I start it up the cop comes flying past me and we locked eyes. That motherf*cker slams on the brakes and locks up the rears and does a Hollywood-style j-turn in middle of the road. Right has he started that, I dumped the clutch and rolled out sideways onto the road behind him and took the fuck off as he was trying to turn around. I ended up hiding behind two buildings with about 6" of clearance on either side of my car.

I could probably think of many more stories, but I don't want to bore you guys.

yeah. racing some camaro in our 5.0 on spray and drag radial :) This is why it's important to have a FOP license plate. He asked if he thought we would have won and said next time do it when there's not a cop sitting behind you.

^^ Well so far you been rather entertaining, and the mint offering of course. That shit cracked me up....


Brain. You, in a 5.0???? Pics now!!!

i've only ever gotten 1 ticket and it was 12 years ago for blowing a red light, which actually wasn't really my fault. I like to think that i know when i can get away with something without getting caught, been working for 14 years. when i was younger i got pulled over a lot, though, never ticketed....thanks to famiry and good bullshitting

^^ You must be white... that shit doesnt fly when youre brown like me...

sig material.

that's crazy, cuz I've gotten out like five tickets from giving the cops breath mints...:laugh:

The day I did this:

This is my first and only attempt at drifting in m - Car Videos on StreetFire


The cops surrounded my ass and held me and my friends there for about 3 hours while they started to intimidate us. When they realized we didnt give a shit, they were cool and started talking about their personal street racing days when they were kids. They let us go with no issues. Mad cool cops.

"Lets get the fuck out" haha

Living in the mountains it is extremely easy to get away from the cops if you know where you are going and have a decently quick car. Around here they all drive jeeps and durangos, and most of them are too lazy to pull you over anyway. The only time I have ever come close to a ticket was one night driving back from class in a neighboring county, I got behind a guy pulling a trailerload of hay. Mind you I'm in a corolla. The road we are on is very curvy, so I wait till a straight section to pass him. Little do I know that the guy behind me is a state trooper, as soon as I got out next to the guy with the trailer he lit me up and then gave me a 20 minute "we have idiots get killed on this road all the time for this same thing" speech. I listened politely and apologized, (even though I don't feel like I did anything wrong, I mean the guy ahead of me was going 20-30mph and wouldn't pull off.) I got out of it. Another time me and a buddy (I was in the miata this time, he was in a turbo civic) were bustin from my house over to mountain city, TN on a really nice stretch of road. It is about 25 miles or so, we made it in about 18 minutes ;) Well we passed a sheriff going about 70 or so on a nice straight, but there was no way he could have turned around to come after us.
This is the route: Warrensville, NC to Mountain City, TN - Google Maps

^holy dope road

I didn't even read the entire thread....

I've never been ticketed/caught because I'm not an idiot and don't do stupid shit on the street.

Take It To The Track.

Lol, who doesn't want breath mints?!

Its amazing to me what the 'Harley' crowd gets away with. Any other vehicle half as loud would be ticketed constantly. We have a group of fricken orthodontists and insurance salesmen around here that like to starp on their balls on Sunday mornings and make a lot of noise and scare old ladies. Its annoying, though funny to see people act like complete badasses based on a 14 second bike. :jerkit:

Never got busted, then too we did not race in traffic. We generally went out into the boonies where nobody really cared all that much.

delete!

Theres a good one between spruce pine nc and temple tn... is it 11W? I forget, and then there is always the fun of 421, but cops have started to patrol it now. (i lived in Johnson City before i joined the Air force)

I got caught when i was 17, 112 in a 55 in my Corolla, im pretty sure thats all it had, but i whooped the protege's ass. Then in my late teens and earlier 20's i figured out i could just duck down a side road and dust them. The best one was i was whooping a crx in my miata, and we were spotted by a member of the sullivan county police department. I turned off, and he decided to chase me. I guess my car had a little more pull than a police interceptor, but he was hanging pretty close. We went over a couple hills and there was a 90 degree turn with guard rails on each side. I knew how fast i could go around it (70mph) so i scrubbed a little speed, i saw his headlights close in, then i stuck the corner, with my rt 215's (at the time) squealing at me, then he probably tried at about the same speed or greater. Understeer, then guard rail. I just wish i had the balls to go back and take a picture. Oh, and if i thought they were gonna crush my car, i would run until it was pre crushed. LOL thats a dumb ass law

Ran from the cops twice.

Once after a race when I had an srt-4(50 trim, 395hp) against a modded 93 rx7

Once when I had a 95 gst(6 bolt swap, evo 16g blah blah).

Both times I had enough power/time to get away. I will never do either of those again. Not at all worth what happens if you get caught.

He seriously called you swamp breath? Wow.

You've NEVER driven above the speed limit? Accelerated in anger? Burned doughnuts in a parking lot? Drank a 5th of scotch and mowed down mailboxes?

lol:laugh:

back in college I drag raced my 98 Celica against my buddies 89 Celica. I had the on coming traffic lane on a quiet street in the city. Friends GF dropped the flag, and it was turning out to be a good run, I was winning. Well he didn't like that I was winning, and swerved into me. I lost control of the Celica and slid into a parked car head on at about 50 mph in a 4 wheel skid. I punted the parked car 3 houses down taking out a mailbox and some lawn. When I came to the owner of said parked car was at my window trying to break it out so he could beat the shit out of me. Luckily the cops showed up, and the fire dept used the jaws of life to pop the door open. I walked away from that with just a bruised nose from the air bag. Never again did I race on the street.

Amazingly I did not get a ticket for that! And even funnier was the cop asking if I could drive the car home. My right front wheel with strut and part of an axle was on the side walk across the street.

Never been busted basically cz when I used go to the street races ,cops didn't give a shit. The cops would tell you to leave,so we'd go to the next spot, people would show up to hang out ,if someone had a fast car and/or some cash they'd pair up and race ; But that was before that stupid movie came out and most street races in LA turned into this free-for-all.

I have a super clean driving record. I don't drive the speed limit, I'm one of those people that are going to drive as fast or slow as they're comfortable driving. I don't drive crazy or anything.

Story time:

I got pulled over once for a expired tag in my dads truck. I didn't get a ticket because the police man let me go after he apologized for swearing at me :hustler:. Can't give away my technique but its kinda like reverse psychology ;).

Once my friend ran from the cops when I was in the car. He got away by using a switch that turns all his lights off :facepalm:.

Never had a ticket btw, been driving for over 6 years. Only pulled over for no front plate once...got a "warning."

I had to run one night, I was racing this GTI (slow as hell) and 2 cops pull out of this shopping center that was basically empty, there were no lights on in the center and their lights weren't on either.

The 1st one goes after the gti and the gti pulls over, the 2nd one is clearly coming after me but since i was ahead i had time to decide to dip or pull over. Didn;t wanna get a ticket so i decided to dip down (sunnyside road howell nj 07731) I make it past the 1st two 90 degree turns then the 3rd, make a left into the developement and pulled into someones garage that was open. kill the lights, turn the car off and peak my head around the corner of the garage watch the cop fly by on sunnyside.

I waited about 10min and drove home all backroads through different towns to make sure i was incognito. The owner of the house shouldn't have left his garage door open at 1230am lol

not street racing, but since we're telling "running from the cops" stories


Long ass time ago, when I lived in Lubbock and was a stupid kid. In the back of a truck with about 4 buddies, drunk off our asses (all minors) and had just picked up a bag of bud.


I don't remember why the cop decided to turn around and give chase since I was loading up a bowl. I just remember looking out the back window, and seeing him turn around at the intersection we had just gone through to turn onto this road.

Survival instinct kicks in...I had no idea where we were...but quickly looked around and got a good grasp. I realized I knew the area, and told my buddy Jeff, driving, to jump the median and head into this industrial park. I had worked as a repair hand for a guy that turned around and sold cars in one of these warehouses nearby, and knew he usually kept 20 beaters out back.

I directed Jeff to that part of the park, and around the back of that warehouse, where we parked between a few of the cars, shut it off, and prayed we had lost him. We waited a while, then got out, peaked around, and smoked the bowl I had loaded for good measure...and drove home.





Karma caught up with me a few months later. I was following the same guy to a party in my 280Z. We hit a light together and decide we're gonna race. I smoke him, but when the cop on the far side of the intersection turns around and throws on the lights Jeff keeps his foot in it when I pull over. MOTHER FUCKER...I'm the one with the pot in my car! Wasn't even my shit.

I'm trying to get rid of the shit...but it doesn't matter, I've got a warrant out for speeding tickets. Cop was nice, had a son my age, and said since I was going in anyhow, he would ignore the DUI and possession. First lucky break I'd had in a long time.

I was in jail for 4 days (lived across the state from family) and NONE of my buddies, even the ones that helped get me there, tried to bail me out. Really woke me up to how fucked up my lifestyle was. Screw that...I dropped drugs like the bad habit they were, moved back across the state to live with my uncle, got a real job, and worked my ass off until I had paid off all my debts and had enough money saved for two semesters of school. Never looked back.

I got a ticket driving my car home from BEGI in TX to my home in OR. I was overnighting in Boise ID. Hotel just off the freeway in an industrial area. I hadn't really gotten on it from a standstill yet and thought that 4 lane wide industrial park road looked good. All quiet at midnight, well lit, etc. I drive to the end, turn around and goose it through three gears. Street lights up like Christmas. Turns out it's a popular street racing spot and they had it staked out.

I don't get a ticket, I'm charged with a misdemeanor "excessive acceleration". Had to hire an attorney to handle the damn ticket. Spent $500 on the attorney, ended up only $75 for the ticket. Turns out it's a city ordinance and doesn't carry any points with it which was a good thing.

I got hit with "unnecessary acceleration" once, when I took off full throttle in my SHO from the rest of traffic. I went to court for it. I asked the cop at what rate of MPH/sec of acceleration is deemed unnecessary, at what rate i was accelerating, and how he could prove that the other cars around me weren't accelerating unusually slow. He got bamboozled and said "you just hit the gas to hard!" Judge found me not guilty.

I once got a "exhibition of speed/rackless driving" ticket for 'accelerating too hard. Thing was, the cop heard me accelerate out of my neighborhood. I went to court, pissed off but with a plan. I went in there armed with pictures, graphs, distance charts and performence specs released by Mazda and popular car magazines for a Miata. Cop said I "ran through 3 gears which is excessive acceleration". The thing was, the distance he said I did it in was like 750ft. Well, I really made that cop look retarded on the stand and ws found not guilty pretty quickly. I've only hired an attorney on 2 of the 30+ tickets I've had as a younger driver (record has been clean for 5 years now). I am well versed on what tickets count for what points and how to work around them. I sometimes really think I should be an attorney :giggle:
