cop stories

[Adam A. Luy]

This cop-no-lights-behind-you thing happened in a small town outside of Phoenix many years back. Some people got pissed, sued the local PD for entrapment (or something like that) and won the case. Apparently it's a rather illegal thing for them to do.

Just FYI,

Ouch.

I once got pulled over for doing 10 over on the interstate (Mass Pike).
12:30 at night, just minding my own business, empty road, right lane.

All of a sudden my V1 lights up solid. WTF?

Instinctive brake test.

Lights go on *directly* behind me.

The guy had pulled up behind me with *no* lights, fingered his radar and when I braked, he lit things up.

I have a sneaking suspicion, unproveable of course, that if I hadn't braked (this tipping him off to my use of a radar detector), he would have gone on to bigger fish.

Kinda pissed me off. Of course, I was speeding, and I did pay the fine.
