Partners in crime with an ex law enforcement officer would be interesting.
:) I once had a former cop friend. We used to drag race. Him in his Chevy 454 cruiser and me in my TransAm. Down the main street in town in the wee hours of the morning. :)

My friends and I raced too. My Miata would win over the old cruisers.

I have to admit, it was kind of a rush. :) Once we were racing down Ryan St (main drag) at about 3 am and we pulled into the K-Mart parking lot, across the street from Sambo's (which was a 24-7 diner). Apparently someone at Sambo's saw us racing and phoned it in and we heard the call come in over his police radio. Fortunately, my car was obstructing their view and they only saw my car. He radioed back and said he was sitting across the street from that location and no one was racing there. :)

Unfortunately, I also had an enemy on the police force. He was the dispatcher (named Robin) and I may have been running around with his on again - off again girlfriend (Helena). :) I was misbehaving one night in the T/A and got pulled over. I cringed when I heard Robin's voice on the radio. He told the cop that stopped me that he knew me and for him to throw the book at me. I didn't get arrested, but I received SEVEN moving violations! Gotta be some kind of a record. Ha. My friend the cop got the number of the violations reduced and I got off with a fine and a stint in a safe driving course.

I had a few run ins with the local authorities, all about my driving. I had one cop pull me over once just because he wanted to look at the car. :mad: Plus, my roommate at the time had the exact same car as I did, with only a subtle difference in the interior. He was always getting pulled over because the cops didn't know there were two white T/As in town. At the time, there was only a red one, a blue one and two whites. So, he was always getting mixed up with me and my driving habits by the local authorities. :)

Me and my troublemaker. :D Around 75-76. Oh, I bet I have bell bottom jeans on. Ha.

my dad got pulled over because the cop wanted to say hi. I got pulled over for doing 50 in a 25. Got off for for five over because my dad knew all the police officers.

[NY_Caveman]

I never got pulled over, arrested or did anything illegal.

I would have picked black, but I got a good deal on it.

My first car was red, red mustang. Got 6 tickets in my first year of driving. Sold the red car, haven’t had a ticket since. I still blame the car color for being a literal red flag, haha.

I got the most in my red car too.

It’s not fair lol. Subconsciously people, especially guys, correlate red cars with exotic cars like Ferrari’s, corvettes, things of that nature. There’s an automatic association with red cars and speed due to that, the police are being discriminatory without even realizing it ;)

That’s my theory at least, lol.

It's like a red dot in the middle of a canvas. I think it just draws attention. I count myself lucky for the times I haven't gotten a ticket. God knows I have earned a few.

LOL, I think the police fully realize it and expect it.

Lol true that. I was only 16! I didn’t have money for 6 tickets in a year! Lol

I even used to get pulled over in my red Chevette (in the 80s). All the time. It probably topped out around 62 and could not make it up hills. They just do not trust red cars.
