Officer wants to race - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

There are a couple of young state troopers that run the same route my mom takes to work in her Acura TL-S they asked her to race one time and she did right up to the speed limit, now every time she sees them they rev it up for her or play with her. Some cops just like having fun I guess!

If they asked you to race, you might be able to get out based on entrapment?

2010IBMSS · 05-20-2010, 12:59 AM

Come on guys, the officer was just trying to break the ice and talk about the car. Give him a break....

I'm a cop and I joke with people all the time. We are human beings as well. It is pretty obvious that the cop was just joking and making conversation. For those of you that want to be immediately judgemental about cops, check out the attached link of one of my fellow Houston Police Officers and brother that died in the line of duty today. He was responding to assist another Officer call last night, lost contol, and flipped his car. He died hours later. This all happened as most of us slept soundly. The Officer leaves behind a wife (Houston Police Cadet and a 3 year old son). Not a lecture, but please don't forget that we are the good guys. If you want to see how good folks respond to the post about the Officer, check out my facebook (add me on at my email a.giraldo007@yahoo.com) or Houston Police Department under facebook. Thanks for hearing me out. It's been a terrible day for us. :( God bless y'all and have a goodnight. Here is the link http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?se...cal&id=7449569

Thank you and Be Safe........

ahh you got out of a trap real well

CamaroFreako · 05-20-2010, 03:08 AM

i would have raced him....even if it a trap !

SScattergunSS · 05-20-2010, 04:25 AM

Hmmm, maybe 15-20 years ago or so in my old Trans Am, an unmarked car and I decided to stretch our legs a little. I knew what he was, but his smile was all I really needed to know about him! So we ran for I don't know how many miles, until I got to my exit in Madera. At which point as he came around me from behind, we shot each other a Look, Grin, and a Nod...and each went on our way. Him, to wherever he was going...me, to the card room where I knocked the game over pretty good!!! AND in case anybody is going to have a conniption fit about this story, let's just say it was all hypothetical

Reading these threads I start to believe that a lot of people have some seriously cynical outlooks on life.

Cute story

Incorrect, otherwise they wouldn't dress up as prostitutes....entrapment doesn't cover enticing to drag race.
