Re: Have you ever run from the police? I don't know what to say about running. I've ran once, but that was just because I knew I would get away, doin 65 in a 40 cop was goin opposite direction and would have to wait for traffic to turn around, so I took off. But the thing that makes me HATE Police is that they are supposed to be concerned with the law right? And laws are there for the common good and safety of the public RIGHT? Now if somebody is bein a jack@$$ and doin crazy $Hit in traffic that is one thing, they deserve a ticket, wait till night time or find somewhere else, But when somebody is doin 120 on a 4 lane highway, the danger the public faces due to that biker is freakin minimal. the biker might die, but he knows this, the other dude might suffer whiplash. But anyway, If a cop is truly concerned with law and safety, he should never chase some idiot (yes that idiot is me sometimes) that wants to run, and if, in the process of chasing the biker he is killed, I think the cop should be charged with all kinda bs chages and murder as well, especially in cases like that video earlier where the cop pulled out infront of the biker on purpose!!!!!!!! WTF???????!!!!!!!! THAT SHOULD BE MURDER 1!!!!!!!!! FTP!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Have you ever run from the police?
ooooh ya there's no drug that can give you a rush like the cops right on your back tire. :YEAH :YEAH
I've ran countless times but one of the most memorable was when I lived in
St. Augustine Fl. it was a sweet day to ride, no wind nothing but sun. just dropped
a hot *** chick at her house, she had friends waiting for her and they were
catching rays and wearing dental floss for swimsuits. well... they were in the
front yard which was ez to see from the road. at that point it wasn't even an option,
I had to wheelie. then of course I pass a cop going the other direction.
he locks em up and swings around after me. this is in a residential area so I don't
rip on it, just sped up to around 80 and took a bunch of turns. he was
waaaay back there.I then proceeded to go to a buddies house which is in a gated
community, went though the gate, you could hear the sirens but couldn't see em.
took more turns and turned into his driveway and drove around the back side of the house.
to this day I don't know how but the cop drove to exactly where I was. there
had to be people, in there fronts yards or where ever, pointing with the way I went.
I knocked frantically on the door but no dice... I was caught. I tried the whole, "who me"
routine but that didn't get me anywhere, other then jail. charged with Felony
attempting to flee and allude an officer. I pleaded out to a misdemeanor and spent the
next 60 days playing cards more then I have in my whole life. I was very nervous
that it was going to be like shawshanke or something but it wasn't bad at all. everyone
just wanted to get out of there, not get into more trouble. Where I live now, MN
if you flee you end up with community service, so I hear, they're not nearly as hard as FL.
12 years of riding, only caught once. if I would've stopped every time a cop would
have liked me to, I probably wouldn't get my license back for another 5 years.

Re: Have you ever run from the police?
how many times have I run into the police and they have told me that i'm a jackass and they don't want to have to pick me up off the road because I'm going to die.
Now if someone spoke to me like that who didn't have a badge, a gun and an endless supply of money to prosecute me I would slap them hard.
#1 I've been riding/racing motorcycles since 1976 and I'm still alive
#2 Officer if I wanted a lecture I'd go back to college
#3 Officer why don't you quit your job because being a cop is dangerous and one day you will probably get killed(see I'm equally worried about someones well being)
#4 If I wreck it's your f**king job to pick my busted body off the road
#5 I got 150hp and can hold 6th gear wide open all day you ain't catching me with a helicopter let alone a chevy impala with 100,000 miles on it
#6 I would never run because that would be breaking the law

Re: Have you ever run from the police?
i am from west plam beach. and back home they have a no chase rule for motorcycles. pretty much if u r bustin the spd limt by 20 or more and they are stationary they can't chase u and if they are mobiel after two miles or if they lose visual contact
