We all have to learn our lessons some way. This kid just paid more for his.
At 24 years old, I was rushing to a jobsite inspection that the City inspector was already at, so running late I was flying on the highway and driving definitely (I admit) recklessly. When I got out my exit an unmarked cop pulled me over, AND!!! on top of this I forgot my license with me. He was actually very kind, after I explained my situation to him, and showed him all my work documents and drawings, and stamps that I was legitimately hauling a$$ for work, and not a line of BS. He asked that I park my car somewhere, and lock my keys in the trunk and for someone to come get me with my license. He actually circled the block 15 min. later to see if I had left. LOL.
So needless to say, I got there late (but passed inspection), but a lesson well learned.

That kid was just plain old stupid, if someone doesnt want to race you, go find someone else. If he had given up after the 1st tried, he would not be in such trouble.

NJ State Troopers start at $59K and get to $97,188.48 top pay. North Jersey Bergen County cops earn 6 figures when they hit top pay level.Add in years contract raises.
Town and city patrol cops earn around $80K in my area.

Ok so first off that was one hell of a story
That idiot got wat he deserved hands down
Now believe it or not cops make good money atleats in my opinion. When i thought i wanted to be cop and did some research cops in California atleast base salary is around 40k a year and the more education and experience the higher the pay
. So cops can afford nice cars and maybe houses too.

Great story.
It's funny how on the M3 forums they are bashing the cop. From reading his posts in the original thread he seems like a really cool guy

Great story, if the kid in the 350Z just sped by, and did not tick off the cop, nothing would of happened . Also as mentioned some cops have some nice cars, I have seen magazine features on big horsepower Corvettes, Mustangs and even a Supra owned by cops!
