pulled over for "street racing"

Well here's the story. So 4 of my friends and me are going to a very isolated spot where people have been known to race. We had no intentions on racing there right then but some people generally show up and race. We were bored and wanted to see if anything was going on. So we pull behind the place (there is a bank on the corner) and there was a nice trap waiting for us. About 4 cops surround us and pull us all over. At this point, we had broken no laws nor done remotely close to street racing. So they take everyone licenses and do the whole gig where they check their cpus and crap. Then of course, the big bad fat cop comes out to talk some major trash. Now I say big bad fat cop because that is exactly what he was. He went on to bs us about he could take us all to jail for street racing. None of us were street racing or spectating for that matter. He had nothing on us. He then said he logged us into the computer and the next time he caught any one of us, hed come find all of us and take us to jail (this is the 4th time ive been "logged" in 2 years). Being that not a single one of our cars had front license plates, he gave us a speech on that. Then he threatens us a few more times and throws are licenses in the air and lets them land on the ground. I mean, I almost would like to be a cop so that I could not be a cop like him. I mean, instead of being professional, and doing his job like he should. He was just being a complete ******* about it and trying to pull the whole "scared straight" program on us. Well, I thought it was funny that I had this guy pegged from the moment he took our licenses. I told all my friends exactly what would happen and that he would come over and talk a lot of trash. He looked arrogant and cocky. Well, long story short. No one got a ticket. No one got in any trouble but we all got "logged" once again. Although, I do give the cops credit for not taking my friend to jail. He has warrants and they knew this. Maybe the cop wasn't such an ******* but was just trying to appear that way to scare us. Oh well. I figured I'd let ya'll in on this story.

But, the thing that ticks me off the most. I never get pulled over when I'm breaking the law. I only get pulled over when a cop thinks that I might think about breaking the law...oh well...

this is all in texas btw...

well id file a complaint...but theyd just ignore it...i live in a state where street racing is very frowned upon...very frowned upon...Any chance cops get to mess with street racers, or people who look like they might be street racing, they will. I didnt think to ask the cops name...i figure why would i want to know the name of a pig? Who cares honestly? But i have met some cool cops and some ones who do their jobs right. Once again, its cool that he pulled us over...I dont think 4 cops were needed to jump us but oh well. That didnt bother me. The only part that bothered me was his demeanor towards us. No reason for it. At the moment he pulled us over, we had broken no laws. Sure he can suspect whatever he wants but thats not my problem. If i were the cops i would wait till we at least stopped our cars in a spot where known street racing occurs. At least then you would have something. No, we got stopped while driving behind oh a road with like 5 of us in a row. My friends were driving crap cars. Only me and the celica were worth even looking at...lol. On a good note. Every damn one of those cops managed to flash light the inside of my car for a few minutes. No one else had their car flashlighted for more then a few seconds. And only by 1 cop. I got every cop and for multiple minutes at a time. I duno if they were trying to find something illegal or if they just wished they had a car like mine...lol... It was funny though when the cop asked me if i was street racing. I gave him the answer, sir I drive a v6 mustang. Everyone in the right mind knows u can't race a v6 mustang....lol...He then proceeded to have me pop my hood (which i didnt have to do but did anyways, Cause i wasnt about to try and start any more crap with these cops). He then looks upon my engine, has no clue what he saw and was like yea whatever....u don't race. My engine looks bone stock other then the big nitrous solenoids sticking out on the top of it(and maybe the mac cai). And he didnt even notice that. I figured he didnt believe it was a v6 but i dont think he could have told the difference anyways. I mean any person who knows anything about engines can spot a nitrous solenoid. And thats "illegal". But, i didnt have my bottle in the back anyways so it doesnt matter. More proof that i wasn't racing. Car is built for nitrous, yet no bottle. I also had the numbers still on my car from my recent visit to the track. I was like sir, i race at the track. hence, i still havent washed the numbers off my car yet. I see no reason to street race. I agree with you 100%. I think that made him more mad...lol oh well

p.s. im a 20 year old that looks 16. They love to pick on me...lol

its funny how age plays such a part in how people react to these sorts of actions. The people over at v6power.net are all like, u deserved it man. and blah blah blah. I guess being young means that you get treated like **** and its ok as long as the other person is older. Being that im 20, i figured i would at least get treated like an adult these days...oh well...

i wouldnt say no good...they had many reasons to be out there...people do race in that area...not exactly where we were. But close enough. Like i said before, i don't mind that they pulled us over. Although, they should have waited to see if we broke a law. What i think is that they saw that we saw them and got their panties in a bind and just said screw it, and surrounded us fbi style.
