FYI: Speeders beware: MN State Patrol sports new wheels

[Ihearrtdsm]

Brooklyn Park's chargers are out right now. The black one likes sitting on Noble in between the elementary school and kellys bar and grill. BC and BP have random sorts of vehicles.

I got a speeding ticket from the silver/black stripes charger. Court date is February 19th because I plead not guilty.

whats your defense?

I don't know if anyone knows this but lately it seems like the state troopers have cameras on their cars looking at license plates, processing numbers and pulling them over if anythings checks out wrong.

Seen in action and was glad all my parking tickets were paid...

Defensive driving. It was rush hour traffic here in Rochester on HWY 14, everyone was going about 62mph.. The highway turns into a 1 lane which alot of people don't know about (I have been cut off there before and have rolled my truck because people don't yield, just merge)

So I was slowly scooting by everyone because I didn't want to get cut off again, and this is my only possible route to take. I was going about 67mph, in a 55 zone. Last car I passed was the state patrol officer. He said "I was going approximately 65mph when you passed me." He didn't get a mph of how fast I was going, but I asked him why he was in the yielding lane and why he was speeding, and he said "Because I am above the law"

Sweet, officers are indeed assholes.

Not really though, because now every time you see a black charger you'll think it might be a cop!

The more cars that could potentially be cop cars, the more cars you have to drive cautiously around.

That's brand new. I was just talking to a cop at the auction(real cool guy btw, said he's never given a ticket for not having a front plate, nor do any of his buddies) and he mentioned they have a new sensor that reads license plates ALL OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING and uploads them into the database. It immediately tells the cop if the driver has a warrant or any problems they could pull them over for. I guess my days of running cars to the auction with expired plates is all but done.

soooo did the cop get a citation for trying to race him... i dont think so he was doing wrong jus as the other guy was...

That will be day when people get pull over for tailgating in this state. This state does not enforce tail gating even if it is illegal. I seen people tail gate cops and troopers all the time in St. Paul and nothing happens.

As for undercover Chargers they been out for about 2 years now. I see them all the time by 694 and 494. If you pay attention to the car you will notice they have wider tires than stock chargers and sit lower too. Another thing that gives them away is that they are always the cleanest car (exterior wise) on the road even after a snow storm.

haha man in rochester i've had some prick tailgaiting my for like a mile and a half on 14, i was goin above the speed limit just barely, he wouldn't go around or get off me ass so i said screw this and started messing with him tryin to get him to back off. he still didn't tryed flying around me and following me, and he was trying to pull me over? he tried taking a left after he saw me do it so i just pulled a u turn and lost him in the backroads behind my house he seemed a little retarded.

[mlomker]

I use to despise tailgaters when I rode bike. I once did 110mph down 35E just north of DT St Paul trying to get this woman off my back tire...she sped up! I ended up raising my left hand and slowing to 45.

[mitsukid124]

haha i would just kept slowing down. i hate retarded drivers, like im fine if someone will make a mistake, like if i tap the brakes and they get that i want them to back of im cool with it, but its the ppl that wont do anything different that piss me off. so i decide to have some fun with them. and then they hate me haha.

There's this section of Hwy 5 going from Stillwater through Lake Elmo that eventually runs to Oakdale/694. It's a 2 lane hwy from my house to about Oakdale then splits to a 4 lane until 694.If someone's on my ass I'll run it down to about 30mph and when it gets to the 4 lane i'll speed up so they can't pass. No excuse for tailgating in my opinion. Violaters should be punished!

[sleepydsm]

Today, 694/35E Unmaked late model Grand Prix. State trooper. hauled ass past me with red and blue LEDs inside flashing. I would have never guessed.

[mitsukid124]
