[QUOTE="ProKiller, post: 1081488, member: 8095"] 1. was leaving college one day and i would take the back way around the campus so i could miss a bunch of traffic and lights and its more scenic (road follows a river). anyway, i come down to T-intersection to make the a right onto the river road. i'm in my old red 94gt. i stop but as the road is a steep hill and the car is a manual, it coasts down a bit before i pull out. Well, i saw two cars coming but had plenty of time to pull out in front of them. the 2nd car was a cop. he flips his lights on and the car behind me gets over i start to slow down as he gets right behind me. i figure i don't want to stop on this road as it's windy and not a good place so go a little farther down and park in a back lot of the dorms. he comes up to the window and is telling me i didn't stop and i speed away from the intersection. i tell him i did stop but drifted a little bit before pulling out. he takes my cards back to his car, comes back not a minute later and literally throws my paperwork in the window and says its' your lucky day. he practically ran back to his car and pulls a 180 and high tails it out of there. 2. was out at the local cruise hangout spot on a saturday night with my old 94. the lot is packed as it was a beautiful night out. i park in another lot with a buddy of mine and walk over to the normal lot. maybe 20 min later i see a cop over parked next to my car looking through it with a flashlight. so we head back to the car. cop goes "you're out of inspection" i hadn't even realized it. he asked to look through the car, i had nothing to hide so i said sure. in the end we had about 30 guys watching us from the parking lot. in the end it was just embarrassing and the cop let me go with a warning. 3. last spring i was coming home from work at 9pm on a friday night. it was one of the first really nice nights out so i was just taking my time enjoying driving the mustang with the windows down. theres a weird intersection where there is two stop signs to pull out onto the main road. so i stop completely at both and pull out and maybe 1/10 mile up there is a light. i don't even get to the light before a cop puts his lights on.
