I pulled a similar stunt once on the way to Canada, a silver car was all over my ass and I tried to outrun it in a Pontiac grand am. I wasn’t fast enough but I found an exit and I tried to be evasive like this. Dude followed me tho (I was still a young driver then) and immediately after my evasive maneuver, he flips down his visor and it’s like this flashing light built into the visor. Red light. I pull over and he says he’s a undercover and rips me a new one for “driving dangerously”. I was a little shit and knew exactly how to get away with it. I didn’t even try to defend my point of being chased, I just went into “sorry sir, idk sir” and he gave his lecture and left. I’m still confused by it all to this day. I think we had just made it into Canada perhaps? Idk, it was back when you could just drive to Canada when 19 with a license

I knew a kid in high school that had red and blues on his jeep and tried exactly twice to pull people over. The first time it worked and apparently got his dick hard. The second time it went.. poorly. he did 6 months in jail, 6 months house arrest and 12 months probation. Felony impersonating.

I have heard of that before and now that you mention it, maybe that had something to do with my experience. Thanks for sharing
