Here's another example...A Union City police officer can cite you in Fremont if that's where you violated the law...the laws the law..

Cops: we are here to fine whoever we care to catch for breaking the law.
You: Think you can break the law in plain site of a cop.
Seriously bro, if you see an unmarked car, or CHP, or PD, you obey the ****ing law when around them.
end of story.

I was driving home the other day and not paying enough attention as I'm usually very good at spotting cops (no tickets in almost 15 years) but apparently I missed the guy on the motorcycle with a radar.
He was very courteous, and wrote me up for 52 in a 40 and gave me a warning for the 40 in a 25. He was doing his job, did it professionally and I deserved it, if not this time, for all the other times I got away with.
I just consider it a speed tax. If you're gonna play, you gotta pay.

I didn't call you a moron because you gambled and lost. I called you a moron because you called police officers an ***, a pig, and you hope they burn in hell.
and no I have never passed a cop while speeding. I have passed a number of cops over the years but they were all traveling 5 to 10 under the limit and I went by at the speed limit. No way I would risk getting a ticket to pass a cop to get somewhere a few minutes earlier.

Does TICKKETASSASIN really work? got a ticket for doing 80 in a 50. and i wasnt even going 80! had to bring it up to 5200rpm in 2nd gear to get this car that was pacing in my blind spot, and the lane was going to merge (Bay Bridge). Anyways, the cop put approx. 80!

I made the mistake of going past a cop before. It was on I-80 right before the 80/580 San Rafael split. It was a CHP cop, and he was on the 580 side gettin ready to go towards San Rafael. As soon as he saw me creep by him, he cut over like 3 lanes and get behind me. Even turned on the red and blues. I was thinking "oh ****". I was going like 68mph. Turns out he was a huge M3/M5 fan and pulled me over to chat about cars. Later on let me go. LOL.
From that point on, I stay behind the cops.
