So yea im driving south on US1 in miami florida. Its 8 pm and theres still a good bit of traffic. Im going around 40 mph and I see an officer in the right lane of a 3 lane road stuck behind traffic going around 35. I think nothing of it and proceed to travel in the left lane and about a light later I speed up to around 47 on our huge speedometers, signal and change lanes to the middle, then signal and change lanes to the right lane.
Shortly after I see a car speed up right onto my ass (turns out its the cop from earlier) and I figure hey he's just gonna run my plates and go along his merry way, not the case.
Turns on the lights, I make a right turn and find a safe place to park for the both of us. Turn on my interior lights and turn off my XM Radio - The joint (roots reggae) which was blasting.
License insurance registration (I had just gotten my expired registration taken care of the day before luckily, and handed him the expired registration by mistake....good thing americas finest didnt realize that)...
As I'm handing him my info, I ask him why I was pulled over. He asks me what I thought it was for and I explained to him yea I sped up while changing lanes to make a safe lane change in our rude part of florida.
He then proceeded to tell me I was going atleast 55 mph, (speedometer never went above 48 and that was the peak of my lane change, I explained this to him). He then told me I was trying to race the guy next to me (I still have no idea who this was or what make of vehicle I was trying to race, and I was shifting for economy at 3,500 rpm). He then tells me I can be arrested for racing.
Above this he tells me I didn't signal my turns which I did. He proceeds to tell me he can make my life miserable and he hears all types of stories everyday and by the way I made the panels in his cheap car shake I had to have been going atleast 55 mph.
At this point its my word vs his. Although I was telling the truth he could have handed my ass to me and just lied based on his hunches
All this bullshit just because I have a big
H on the trunk of my car.
I had to have been racing
while knowing perfectly that there was an officer behind me and making his car shake from 2 lanes away
Well an old lady stops by us asking for directions and when he's done with her he turns around and tells me to GET LOST and walks away
So yea thats my rant. Officers have a tough job and I respect them for what they do, BUT alot of them abuse their power and disrespect the people they are here to protect.
I have a pretty much stock fiji blue fa5. If I was at all modded and in a coupe I would have had no chance at getting off of false charges.
Its been a while since a good rant, enjoy
