I hate pork

I had just left work and was about to turn onto the main road from the parking lot. Its a steep incline and I have to go slow so I don't bottom out. Anyway. I pull up to the road and stop waiting for traffic to pass since I was turning right and traffic was approaching from the left.

Well I look up and see a car stopping that was coming from the left. He is in the right lane and just stops in the middle of the road. Noone was behind him and no one was in front. There was a guy in the turn lane coming from the right and pulling into the parking lot to the right of where I sat. I had to wait until the guy in the middle turn lane turns before I turn to the right on the road.

So I look a little closer (it was dark) and notice its five-o. So I'm like WTF? I wave the guy on. Not wanting a cop behind me. Just cause they don't need to be behind me.

The cop flashes his head lights. And waits.


Again I wave him on. He is still siting in the road and I'm still in the parking lot.

He again flashes his lights, but more this time. The car in the middle turn lane from the right seems a little puzzled to and decides to go and turns into the parking lot to my right.

Again I wave the cop on. My driverside window is down btw, so I know he can see me.

Again he flashes his lights and continues to sit in the middle of the road.

I wave him on.

He flashes his lights still. What the hell this is ridiculous. No stop sign near us. A traffic light to the left about 200 yards.

Ok. I want to get home since it was already almost 9pm and I had a long day. So I go. The cop of course then proceeds to tailgate me as I drive just over the speed limit. I guess he is in a hurry now, but was so polite to let me pull out in front of him.

He tails me till I'm out of his jurisdiction and pulls a u-turn in the middle of the road. Ahhh. so nice to have a police escort.


Edit: Heres a link to the map. I was turning right and go "down" from the marked spot.

good story. i was on a two lane road today and for like 4 miles this cop was in the lane right behind me. when i would change lanes he would move right behind me i was just getting ready for him to pull me over for anything when all of a sudden he turns.

what really made me mad was that i was going 45 (speed limit) and everyone was passing us at like 50-55. i went 30 in a 40mph speed zone

edit: jz makes a good point.

lol good story..

commando, is it really necessary to quote him if ur the first to respond?!

[burton160w]

you wanna know what I honestly do, I get their car number and I email his department. Not because I know the Sargent or Chief cares, but because every time I document another law broken by a fellow officer, I log it. Then I follow up on it to see what corrective action has been taken by calling said department.

For instance, I frequent WaWa every night around 10:00 to get something to eat. Each night the same cop parks his car right in the no parking (lined) spot and leaves his car to idle in a No Idling Zone. I've taken pictures and have called the chief of police numerous times, and finally on the third time talking to him - he finally replies, fine you know what I'll be sure to mention to my department that they are not permitted to park and idle in such areas - and he did just that. The next day I'm in WaWa and the same dick comes up to me and goes, "Oh I heard you decided to give Chief G***** a call." real sarcastically, I just laughed and went "Yea, cause you're not above the law."

I hate cops, I really do with a passion. I see the necessity for a crime unit, I do not see a necessity for a traffic fairy.

PS. burton yeah - cops in NJ (especially around my area) can be real d*cks sometimes....=\

I just wish the foreign people that move here would follow the rules like everyone else. Driving around people on the shoulder after your lane ends is not ok. Driving 30 in a 50 is not ok. Changing lanes without using your signal is not ok. It seems like cops are more focused on speeding lately.

foreign people?? trust me most of them follow the rules more attentively than most americans do.... Id say the problem is inexperienced teens.. not foreign people....

[freednighthawk]

Inexperianced teens who dont gain any experiance as they get older, leading to inexperianced adults. Half of the people I see doing the dumb sh*t on the roads are soccer moms and plicks in cars that they spent way to much money on. As well as all the ricer driving 16 year olds.
