HAHA.. i should be in JAIL right NOW..

tonight, on my way home from hanging out with my friends, i was on the main road and a bike pulled up next to me. revved a little, so i looked over and decided why not, i went with it and raced him. we raced on and off for awhile.

all comes to all, i got into the turning lane and waved bye to the bike, and found that a cop was directly behind me :oface

i turn and next thing i know the cop turns his lights on, i was fucked. i pulled over and turned the car off. the cop walked right up to my window and the first words out his mouth was " so, was that fun!?" i replied "not really, especially since im the one pulled over" then he replied "so you know why i pulled you over?" i told him "i have an idea but im not sure", he asked what i thought and i just told him "not sure, but you are the officer, so whatever you say, goes" he told me to take the keys out of the ignotion and throw them on the dash, and place my hands on the wheel and not to move. and "I had to do 130mph to catch up to you, you were racing that bike, and i seen watched the whole time"

he took my lic., regi, and insurance and walked back to his car.. i sat in my SR powered 240sx for about 15mins, wondering whats going on. he finally came back to my car and asked me to step out and walk around to the back of the car. at this point i was ready to get cuffed and locked up. he then told me "well, Mr. ___, i have some good news, and bad news, the good news is, im not taking your ass to jail, the bad news is, im giving you a ticket, sign here"

i told him im not signing anything until its fully explained to me, he then explained "i am not going to write you up for racing, or excessive speed, or endangering the lives of others, but im writing you a ticket for your modified exhaust and you must have it paid within 30days"

.... i couldnt thank him enough, and i did tell him i know i was wrong, but wow, how lucky am i to get off the hook with that, he told me if he was to ticket me for what i should have been ticketed for, i would not only be in jail right now, my car would be impounded, and i would have been fined well over $700, not including bail, which would have been another close $500.

he was a young guy, but i really cant thank him enough for what he did, if it was any other offiecer, i would be jailed right now, and my car would be gone, not to mention i wouldnt see the streets for a long time.. i am so happy, i had to shake his hand and thank him a million more times.

if you are ever pulled over, be very polite, thank him no matter what, i even thanked him for writing me a ticket, ti doesnt matter what he says, thank him for it, either way he is right in the end, even if you think hes not... its his word vs yours.

now, also i think that the only reason i got away with it, was because he had no proof of my speeds, let alone that i was racing, because i never really admited it.

with this night over, i am a very lucky guy and found a new respect for officers, i always thought each and every one of them were out to get us, but i have been proven wrong with a second chance
