Tricky Cops

So I was heading on my way home late tonight as usual, like around midnight. Travelling on the Mass Pike as usual. I enjoy going home at this time cuz usually the Pike is literally empty. So this would mean I can go a bit faster than regularly. So yes, as one would put it, I was speeding. So I am going roughly 85-90 mph on the Pike. Cars were behind me, however there was one that was behind me, and kept speeding up to me and kept getting closer. I first thought this guy was riding me, so I sped faster. This didn't suit the guy, so he was going faster and closer. He was literally so close, that I could no longer see his headlights. That is way too -close- when travelling in cars. So as I get irked by this, suddenly the car starts to flash its red and blue lights, meaning this was a cop the whole time. So now I am like "Ohhhhhhhhh !@#$%&", since I was caught speeding. So as I start to merge over to the right (I was on the left), the car just drives by me and turns off his lights.

 

So lets go over some points. I was going 90 mph. The cop was going 90 mph as well. He was also tailgating me really close. If I stopped quickly, he would have had hit me at that speed. He knows I am speeding, and turns on his lights, which then led me to move over. Then he passes me and keeps driving. Does any of this make sense? Cuz I was expecting to get my first ticket here. Another thing that doesn't make sense is that recently the Mass Pike Authority ordered state troopers patrolling the Pike to pull over more drivers and issue more tickets, since it was shown that cops have been lenient. This guy didn't pull me over, which also irks me. He wasn't doing his job, and was also abusing his authority by speeding as well.

 

Anyways that was my night. My weekend was kinda bad as well.

Okay. I still don't agree with it, but if you want to speed, go ahead. It's your life, not mine.

You don't have to agree with it. I just like sharing bits of my life.

You'd think that would work, but it's better just to lay off the accelerator and slowly slow down so they pass in cases like that, almost always.

 

Not to preach or anything. :P And not to defend the cop there.

I would have slowed down. It is just the cop's front end was litereally a few inches away from mine.

Its against the law.

And?

That makes it wrong. As in, I could do something against the rules here, and I'd be banned.

 

So you put lives at stake for relaxation, and guess what? Nothing.

Whose lives were at stake? Seriously read the entry before posting.

What if someone else was on the road? You're not setting the best example here, bud. ;)

There is no "what ifs". Only what is now.

 

You aren't setting the best example since you fail to actually read. I suggest a few books to help better your judgement.

Ooh yikes, let's not get too personal here.

Only times I've seen the Mass Pike empty (Or at least parts of it,) was at 1:30AM when I couldn't get to sleep in a hotel room on a family trip to Massachusets(Da** hotel beds...).

 

For all you know, it may not have been a cop; my cousin bought a Crown Victoria(Undercover cop car), people would slow down around him. Unfortunately he began abusing this, using the sides of the road your not supposed to enter(Don't recall what their called), speeding without worries and eventually he impersonated a police officer by doing pretty much the same thing that happened to you, only the guy he did this to was a real cop. He's now had to get the police flashers and sirens removed from it. :P

Please, read before posting.

And when he drove by, I saw the state police logo and all that stuff.

Well, occasionally those kinds of things can be found on police auction cars if it wasn't an undercover car, I saw a few with them on at the police auction my cousin got his at...though the law requires their removal...was their a police auction that day or recently? If so, he may have been taking it to get them removed and was enjoying it while he could.

Necro, it was a cop. I know it was a cop.

Err, I was just stating a possibility that is increased in likelihood due to the fact that, according to you yourself, the authority had recently ordered state troopers to be more strict. It could be a cop abusing their power, yes, but from what I know firsthand, it's possible it wasn't a cop, though equally possible it was.
