So I am leaving downtown Houston pulling onto the Fwy. when this drunk driver in front of me starts swerving around and throwing beer bottles out of the window.

I follow this guy, after reporting him to HPD, onto the fwy. and continue south towards the suburbs...meanwhile im tailing him waiting for the Blue and whites to come rear end his ass so I can watch and laugh...no cops...he stops to get some more beer, I call back, still no cops. As Im following him I see a bunch of HPD cars parked at some donut shop (no kidding) they obviously dont care.

Anyway, I call again as he exits, yet again, and the lady tries to tear me a new one saying "you shouldnt be following blah blah blah" so I told her she had better get her shit straight and know who is the bad guy and that im helping them, so she calmed a bit.

By now it has been 20 minutes, no police in sight on the fwy. so i said I have had it and I hooked a U turn and went home...You would think by then, me guiding them and telling them EXACTLY where he was that they would have had at least one damn car there...

<i>Integrity first-service before self-Excellence in all we do</i>

I know whatcha mean about cops with piss poor performance...we got plenty of 'em down here in Flawda...excuse the drawl. LOL. Here in my home the Sunshine State our highway cops have made it a point to let all the reckless, insomniac truck drivers get away with whatever they want, and go after normal SANE automobile drivers (just cause they like to go a little faster than the SLOW AS HELL 70mph speed limit. And when I talk about these insane truckers I'm not talking about the majority who are responsible, hard working Americans...I'm talking about these guys practically JACK KNIFING their trailers, going 85 MPH!, yes you read it 85 MPH! with a FULL LOAD!!! I have witnessed on many occasions these total PSYCHOS turning the interstate into a death trap on 18 wheels. WHERE IS THE FHP WHEN YOU NEED THEM? NOWHERE! Only to fill their quota on the everyman. Dangnabit! LOL. Anyhoo, thought I'd add my thoughts...

"Speed puts me in the zone."

Hmm, I thought the cops were a little bit different in the US...

"bunch of HPD cars parked at some donut shop ": so that´s really true with the cops and the donuts!

Too bad you´ve got that speed limit.

Cops are overly aggressive here. Given the chance, they will knock any dirver who's doing $hit off the road, especially in a high-speed chase. First and only option: Ram!!!

"Retreat, hell! We just got here!"-Captain Lloyd Williams, 2nd Marine Division, Belleau Wood, France, WWI

See, I <u>wish</u> that were the case here in the States.

It would last all of about 5 minutes, though. One of the criminals would end up suing the police department for damages that their vehicle received from the ramming... and they'd probably win.

Go figure.

That's why I like Israel. Aside from the fact that everyone here is somebody's cousin, there are laws that prevent lawsuits of that type ever being filed, and even if they are filed, they would immediately be thrown out.

LMAO... that's awesome.

I'm just tired of hearing about the "criminal's civil rights", like the burglar who fell through the skylight in the kitchen of a house he was burglarizing, landed on a butcher knife (or whatever the case was) and then sued the homeowner... <b><u>AND WON</u></b>!!!

Or the whole debate over whether or not someone can sue you for being shot while breaking into your house. I think it's pretty fair and simple, personally:

<u><b><font size=4>*** IF YOU BREAK THE LAW, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS! ***</font id=size4></b></u>

Oh well... we'll get it right one of these days...

Cops are more furtive here in Germany.
They drive up and down the Autobahn in fast civilian cars. If you´re too fast, or you´re doing anything else illegal (e.g. overtaking on the right which isn´t allowed here), they film you. Then it´ll cost your money! They won´t ram you with their nice and expensive cars. If it´s getting to dangerous, they have to stop chasing you.
Thats Germany!

NEVER SAY TO A COP

1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer. (OK in Texas)
2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
3.Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good
job!
5. Are You Andy or Barney?
6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
8. I pay your salary!
9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a
warning, too!
10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no othercars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.
12. When the Officer says "Gee Son....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with,"Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"

How to Call the Police

George Phillips of Meridian Mississippi was going
up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left
the light on in the garden shed, which she could
see from the bedroom window.

George opened the back door to go turn off the
light but saw that there were people in the shed
stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in
your house?" and he said no. Then they said that
all patrols were busy, and that he should simply
lock his door and an officer would be along when
available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and
phoned the police again. "Hello I just called you
a few seconds ago because there were people in my
shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them
now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung
up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed
Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the
Phillips residence. Of course, the police caught
the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought
you said that you'd shot them!"

George said, "I thought you said there was nobody
available!"

True Story) I LOVE IT.

Nope, Snipe makes sure there aren't any. They piss him off for some reason. Especially when last week one of them pulled him over.

Yeah, when i got a ticket for doing 55 in a 45 zone.

I suggested he let me go so i could give him a real reason to pull me over.

One of these days I'm gonna get up the nerve to pull something I've always wanted to see happen.

I get pulled over, and just as the officer gets to my window, I peel out, shooting gravel and debris all over his car. Then after driving for about 100 feet (not far enough to piss him off or anything), I pull back over to the side of the road, and wait patiently for him to catch up, either on foot or in his car.

By this point the officer will probably have freaked out and/or pulled his weapon, and I'll just sit calmly by waiting with my license and insurance card. When he gets to the window (if I'm not being arrested yet) I'll give him some excuse like "Sorry, it's the Turrett's syndrome" or "Damn, forgot my medication again"... something along those lines.

Oh well, probably won't happen, but I think it'd be funny as hell.

I find cops get mildly annoyed when you say, "Is your cop helo fueled? I feel like a good high speed chase."

LOL

Here's another good one i told the cop, "You know what the best part is about being able to afford a car like this is?"

Cop, "No, what?"<annoyed>

Me, "You can afford to hire the best lawyers at traffic court".

"Trample the wounded...hurdle the dead"

I know all about German cops and the beauty of the autobahn. My dad's german and I lived many years over there. Gotta love the sign with the diagnoal stripes through it: NO SPEED LIMIT... and yeah, the cops are more cool and secretive...they use the camera radar traps and send you tickets in the mail, etc etc...plus they have mercedes and beemer cop cars, hell yeah! Oh well, the USA will improve, and so will the psycho power trip cop boys.

Yeah, I love that one too.
At the right time in the right place you can drive really fast... I like it!!!
I sold my "fast" car last year because I got a car from my new company. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> Which of course isn´t that fast. I´m working on it though (make it a little bit faster, hehe)

So if I want to go high speed I have to ask my brother to lend me his car which is a AUDI S3. Nice one!!

Your Porsche looks like the <i>Risky Business</i> one.

which one is yours the white or the silver? BOTH??? Cool!<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Personally I prefer the 911 Turbo or GT3.
Anyway, too expensive at the moment. A BMW M3 will be ok, too.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
