Current Events > You ever get nervous when a Cop drives behind you?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like yesterday this cop was tailing me for a good few minutes. I was like WTF bro! I'm not doing anything wrong. Lol

100% of the time, even if i'm not breaking any laws. interactions with police are almost never positive.

Yeah, it makes me think I'm about to get pulled over.

Nope. I just make sure I'm doing the speed limit and they'll pass me quickly.

Yeah, even though Ive been pulled over twice in over 20 years.

Yes, while I always follow the laws, I am also a minority.

I can't roll my driver side window down so if they pull me over they're probably going to be like you're not complying and then just unload a clip into my car

Every time

I've been pulled over 3 times thinking I was doing nothing wrong. Like, sure of myself, with cruise control on 1mph under the limit, driving straight as an arrow, etc.

The cops around here actively try to make you nervous. They'll follow you for a long time, even switching lanes with you to stay on your ass. Just waiting for you to fuck up. Sometimes they'll even pull into a parking lot with you until you get out and go inside a store.

According to the Family Guy skin color chart I'm generally fine ignoring them.

The one time I was driving a bit fast at night on a country road and a cop heading in the opposite direction turned on his lights after passing me and begun to make a U-turn like he was going to pull me over he nearly went into a ditch at the side of the road. I think he was so flustered with himself because he simply shut his lights off and stayed there for the next 30 seconds as I drove away.

I mean, yeah, cops on the road are basically never up to any good unless they got their lights on going somewhere.

Uh oh, cop behind me
*drops to 5 under the speed limit*

Yeah, but because I have a prior record. They'll be licking their chops, seeing what hammer they can drop on me. Haven't been pulled over yet tho

I only drive when it's a must.

No, there's tons of police around here and they rarely stop anybody for anything.

If they just happen to be behind me, then not really, but when a cop that was just sitting and watching passing traffic decides he's going to pull out and follow me, specifically, I start to get a little anxious.

I had a cop follow me at night with his headlights off for 3+ miles. At some point, I turned on my right blinker, made it look like I was going to turn right, then quickly and legally turned left - he still followed. Creepy and unsafe.

that's literally their purpose for driving around

No, I just challenge them to a test of brakes, then race them.

Yes, especially when they decide to tailgate which is most of the time. They're looking for some reason to pull you over. Seeing those lights pop on so many times has me legit traumatized.

No because I don't drive. That being said if I was riding the bus and a cop started following us i might be a little concerned.

That was well after he'd been following me in the dark with his headlights off for miles.

You should have called 911 tbh.

Only for a little while earlier this year while my tags were expired. Had some delays getting a catalytic converter replaced, so had to drive expired for a couple of months.

Never got pulled over, but I felt so vulnerable lol. I usually drive very carefully and never speed, so that paranoia was new to me.

Nah not really. I'll slow down if I'm above the speed limit and I notice a cop nearby. But I worked in a police station for 3 years, so cops don't really make me nervous anymore.

All it takes is once perceived "wrong move" and you're dead. Who the fuck wouldn't be?

I don't even like to pass them while driving the speed limit.

Yes. I dont like cops. Dont trust them.

Not really. I'll generally go 5 over as long as I'm on a main road. Never had any issues and fuckers are always speeding and antsy anyway.

All the time, yup. Im always civil and treat them with respect so its never a big issue, but I just hate dealing with it.
