It is always a puzzle to me when someone slows down when they see a
cop. Reality is that if they want you they alredy have you before
you saw them. Slowing down is only an admission you were speedign.

When you're doing 110, slowing down is a signal you're not making a run
for it. :-)


Florida HP could not catch some drug traffickers. They bought some hot
V8 Ford Mustangs or used confiscated fancy cars. Then they caught
them.


A friend of my brothers was tagged at 170+ in his Shelby Cobra, on
I74. As they explained to him, just after he rolled into his
driveway, "you can outrun us, but you can't outrun our radio".



Zactly-- When we were guarding the nukes in Yorktown we were not
allowed to go over 30[40?] MPH to catch the OOD. He could go as fast
as he wanted-- and he was on our radio frequency. But we could
still trap him in a few minutes.

Capt. Curtis was a slippery SOB-- but he kept us on our toes.
