This guy is going down. Im gonna fight til each and every one gets dismissed. My father used to be a lawyer that would tear these guys apart. Heres just one of the things were gonna get him with. My fathers gonna ask the trooper how far it was from the time he saw me to the time he pulled me over. When te troope says 2 miles for instance then we ask how long did it take to get to me well do a little quick math and find out how fast he was traveling which was for sure in excess of 110. Then well ask what qualification he has to do 110 weaving to get an 85 in a 55 driver. Woww hes gonna get it.

Pulling the E-brake while in motion disengages the center diff in the Evo.
When in motion -and especially if you need to loose some speed inconspicuously- using the E-brake -with button depressed AT ALL TIMES- is perfectly acceptable and will not damage the car in any way.

He will say he saw you speeding and your tint was dark, possibly that when you initially went by he did not see the front liscence plate. The fact that you are going to attempt to ask the officer how long it took him to catch you is crazy because you just concede that you are speeding. Then you are going to say the officer was reckless by catching speeders because there was a lot of traffic. Hmmm you are the one going 85 in a 55 but he has the right and duty to pull you over(I will assume him speeding is a little safer because he had sirens on and rarely do officers weave through traffic; they normally stay in the fast lane and only pass on the right if someone does not get over)
It may be his duty to pull me over but let me tell you I used to watch my father teach the cops how to drive at floyd bennett field, and what they teach them there puts them in no way shape or form ready to drive at speeds inexcess of 110 just because they have some lights on. I know you may think i have no case with profiling but youll see. Whether i had an affixed plate on the front or not it wouldnt matter because he stated that the reason he pulled me ove was for speeding. the other three tickets were for things tht he realized when he got to me.(tints, plate, license.) The guy was a little arrogant little ***** who was compensating for his migetness by giving out tickets on Christmas eve. Oh not to mention my father was in his caravan traveling at the same speed as me next to me and when the cop saw that he could cut off the guy behind my dad, he cut off the guy behind me almost hitting me.

anyhow I decided to slow down real quick in case the cop wanted to tag me on his radar...
Low and behold he gets close to my bumper and I see the light bars across his roof and he gets on my tail and blares his horn, turns on his sirens and then I moved over so that he can a) pass me or b) pull me over.
To my luck, he just wanted me to get out of the way and he sped off into the distance.
My heart sure was pounding at the moment.... all i wanna say is that got lucky cuz I was about to pull even more.....
The point is if you drive fast be alert of whats going on around you.... cops love to sneak up on speeding motorists....
