Do to GraveTaker's topic on "Crooked Cops", I just wanted to know your most memorable experience with an officer of the law. For those who have never had to deal with the Police I applaud!

My Personal favorite was when my good friend just got a "new" late 80's VW GTi. Awesome aftermarket adjustable suspension, swapped out engine with a supercharger. Nice set of wheels with super nice low profile tires. We had just pieced it back together (after the engine threw a piston on us on the drive home from picking it up in the Dakotas), and we were excited to take it out for a spin.

My friend was driving and we were flying on the mountain roads through a canyon, and the thing just stuck to the turns. Well, on the way back, coming through the canyon we sped past a cop going around a turn at ~90 MPH. I knew the cop saw us, but it did not look like he had his radar handy. I informed my friend about the cop, and he started to slow down, and then decided to just punch it. We made it to the next town, and dipped off the highway and onto some side streets (never having seen the officer, and thinking we were free). The officer came up from in front of us, and pulled a U-ee, and we pulled into a gas station lot.

Cop came to the door and informed my friend he needed to get the lead out of his foot, and then looked at me and asked if I'd like to get a cabride home?

"Fuck no, I'm having fun!" I let out with a huge smile.

The cop took my friends information, and came back shortly after, and said "If you guys want to drive like that you should join the Highway Patrol". He went on to list the benefits of an exciting career as a Highway Patrolperson, "speedy carchases, excitement, getting shot at..."

"Getting shot at is not my idea of a fun time, officer" I said.

Towards the end of the conversation I was curious and asked him how fast he had to go to catch up with us (because we were doing over 100, I didn't let him know how fast we were going). He said he got up to 130 on the straightaways, and 115 or so on the turns to get ahead of us.

I can't believe we were pulled over at such speeds, and did not receive any ticket, and even more amazing we were pretty much extended jobs.

Anyone else have interesting law stories?
