Re: do you get stalked by the police

i think as long as they dont pull you over they can follow you. i live in a very small town so you always see the town cop or a off duty office but they all have lights in there rigs so its eazy to get snaged here

Re: do you get stalked by the police

I found a decent spot the other week and have been there a few times, but the last time I went a cop rolled by and stopped and looked at me. He did it twice. Once in a wheelie and again in a stoppie. Both times I put it down while he was watching. I can't decide if he is just curious and wanting to watch or is threatening me with his presence. ? Maybe I'll figure out next time I'm there

I tried flipping roles with a cop once and managed to get behind him after a few minutes and started following him. maybe 2 minutes in he makes a turn into a residential where 3 cars were waiting. They stopped me, and not so kindly asked me to refrain from such juvenile activity. they said something about impeding or some ****. i just wanted out of there.

young and dumb i guess

Re: do you get stalked by the police

all the time. i live in a small city so there r only about 15 chips put on the road to waste our time and money. they tend to wait out of sight at high-congestion areas as well, but once they see a crotch rocket they get a sudden urge to follow...
one of them even knows me by name, gave me two tickets and said i was lucky he didn't impound my bike. hes pulld me over twice after that for **** he couldn't charge me with. he still follows me when he sees me in traffic. i also wondered if it's legal for them to do that..

Re: do you get stalked by the police

yeah, sadly it's legal for them to follow you. but it is not legal to follow an emergency vehicle.......

if he shows up to your spot again, your best bet is to just talk to him man. he's prolly curious, and you could always give him the "atleast im not on the street" speech, lol....... good luck though, let us know what happens

Re: do you get stalked by the police

if they keep following around town next time just pull over and see if they stop youd be surprised they usually dont.....or if they do just say you were getting a call and wanted to check your phone

cops can be ******** but nothing else you can do but embrace them....and get a good lawyer

i swear my lawyer should get a punch card so i get a free one every so often

Re: do you get stalked by the police

i feel ya thats why i have an emergency lawyer fund
...how much are the lawyers in your area 250 here takes care of literally everything 450 for a reckless or negligent

i know its alot but it really keeps insurance down for your car and bike

im not joking about a punch card in the last three years of my riding i think i have had 8 tickets dropped.....and they have all pretty much been bs

cops suck period wherever you are and seattle definitely is no exception

Re: do you get stalked by the police

I'm on suspension now, so I'm super paranoid when I'm out, but even when I was legit and a cop was behind me, I'd turn off, or stop to get gas or anything like that, just to be away from them. I live in an overpopulated area, with alot of bikes, so I don't think I'll run into the same officer too often. but still...

Re: do you get stalked by the police

so for a while just pull over like your chain is loose out of gas,bike over heated, anything.
stand there for a min looking at your bike, scrach your head. don't look at them don't make eye contact,they will leave. or will ask if you need help, just say no my bike over heated, Im waiting for it to cool down.
bty this has worked like a charm for me in the past.
I would see just how many times I could do this in one day.
This is fun too.
Someday have your friends follow you in a car with video camera's.
when the cops pull over so do they and video tape the event.
do this and you will get great footage for youtube.

Re: do you get stalked by the police

cops have been trying to follow me lately. a month ago i was at a bike night and stopped on the way home to get a powerball ticket at Hess and when i walk out a state cop is lurking by my bike real slow. then pulls out so i wait a few seconds and then pull out and see him pulled up to the light so he was in the lane to go straight so i pulled into the next gas station on the left which has entrances on each road of the intersection so i was going to go out the other one to avoid sitting in the lane next to him at the light so as im turning in he pulls into the turning lane so i turn around in the parking lot and go out the way i came in and hit a differnent road and bust out backroads back to my house where there is another state cop sitting trying to pull out by there was traffic behind me.

coming back from the same bike night on wed. had a cop sitting on the road again while i was in getting my powerball ticket. me and my buddy were sitting there, he was a ***** so i left first and he said as soon as there was a break in traffic he turned around to come after me but i never saw him.

im not stopping at that gas station anymore
