Tell us your "BUSTED" stories!

[Brandy]

1992, Augusta GA, had been out cruising on the highway and got lit up so I pulled it over. The officer was a chick, a hot chick, and she said she didn't need my paperwork just that I had an expired tag. She said I know where you live because I live there too, 6 houses down from you, go get it fixed up today, i'll be checking on the way home. I laughed and said I would. So, I drive over to the DMV and look for a space to park the '65 Impala in and find none. So I left it against the curb under a tree in the shade. I got my tag and got back out the car, started it up and revved it a few times because I was pissed that I had to wait half the day to speak to a DMV turd. I let off the pedal and look in the rearview to find two troopers standing directly behind the car with their arms crossed. I thinking oh ****, that's it I should have found a space. The '65 sported a 454 BB with 544HP, headers to H pipe to Borla's and it was loud. Dark, almost black, green, lowered stance, narrowed 12 bolt, 15 inch shoes outback with yellow raised lettering. Cop magnet. Anyway, i'm crapping bricks as the engine dies and these two are walking up both sides. The guy on my side backs away a bit and says " Get out of the Vehicle sir." Damn WTF? Never had to do that before. He directs me to the front of the car and says lean on the hood. I do, he says you have anything in there we need to worry about outrunning us? I cocked my head sideways and looked back at him saying, Excuse me? They were both trying not to laugh and told me they just wanted to look at the car. Man! I said, you fellas had me sweating there. We all laughed and I showed them the car. So, twice in one day with nary a ticket.

In 1980 I was driving a 1970 RR 383 auto, It worked pretty strong. It had too much camshaft for the converter and wouldn't spin a tire normally. The converter would lock at2500 and the motor would pull like a bear at 2800.I stopped at my buddies body shop where he was washing his 70 charger, and there was sand and water all through the parking lot. After a few minutes I decided to leave and backed out of the parking lot through all the water and sand onto the street and my buddy hollers let her go! Not thinking about the wet sand, I stuff my foot in it like any 22 year old would, and away we go! The tires lit instantly and went past the magic 2800 mark and they just kept going. IT was up hill for about 60 ft and then a set of train tracks and the wind was at my back. The smoke crossed the tracks before I did, And I came through the cloud sideways and let off just in time to see a cop coming the other way,I just pulled over and waited for him. He gets out of his car with a grin on his face and says"what in hell do you call that?"
Stupidity I answered,You caught me. He asked me what I had in it and he said no way,He had a 428 cj mustang and it wouldn't do nothing like what he just saw! I wasn,t going to mention the wet tires, that would have ruined everything.He said there was too many people around to not charge me, but, unnecessary noise tickets where on sale for only $28.00. I said they have always been $28.00. Ya buy tomorrow they go up to $53.00.I said thank you

Great stories guys...

A long time ago, I had a RR (a12 car, six pack was gone had a built 440 with 4bbl) (before they were worth much, I sold that car for $12K and that was twice what I paid)..
Anywho, I leave a buddies bachelor party, second time marrying the same girl, and I probably should not have been driving, young and dumb, right.

I see a cop sitting in a normal spot they sit and do my best to drive sober, since its 2 am and I am the only one on the road and he was bored (or maybe I was swerving), he lights me up.

As I said earlier, young and dumb, I run. He doesn't even chase me!!!

I go home and there are 2 cars waiting for me, seems they can run your plates and get your address.. 4 days in jail, because again young dumb and drunk I try to fight my way out of it, lol.. If the now me could talk to the then me, man would I have a ot to say.

Another cop story, recently I installed zoomies on the gtx, I am one of the nephews in the car and I am being a bad influence disrupting the peace, lol.

Someone must have called the cops and we get lit up, zoomies are off, cop is walking over to the car and I while I reach for the paperwork in the glove box my belly hits the zoom button and opens the exhaust, the look back just fast enough to see this cop jump out of his skin..
$350 ticket... I tried explaining it was my bellys fault, he was not amused...

Started doing donuts around the entire width of the lot and all those corvettes.
vaguely,i could see various people shouting and waving and a few running for their cars.

i head for the exit and at least 10 of them start to give chase.
we get out on the highway going back to bragg
and i just punch it and Leave those vettes wayyyy behind.
speedo only went to 120,its pegged past.
got back to base and hid the car behind the barracks.
never heard another word about it and i was a bit nervous.

when i went to court,for my " tags "
the judge laughed so hard he ended up fining me 25 bucks plus costs.
the cop,who was there and in uniform,didnt look so pleased.

This is back in the mid 70's. I had a buddy with me and we had stopped at a quicky mart midnight or later for smokes or whatever. I fired up my bored and built 1967 Firebird and got to the exit of the parking lot and decided it would be a good time to do a big burnout. I looked both ways and only saw one set of headlights waaayyyy down the road, so I stomped on it and lit up the tires. I was basically just creeping forward with smoke just rolling off the tires. I finally let off and as the smoke cleared out behind me, I saw the red and blue lights. I pulled back in to the quicky mart parking lot at the next entrance and shut her down and waited for my fate. My buddy is freaking out saying something about warrants. My buddy was lucky that night, the cop was focused on me and I got tickets for excessive engine noise, excessive tire smoke, exhibition of speed and I think one more that I cannot remember. Not a good night for me. I already had several tickets, so when I went to court, I was told that if I got another ticket, I would have my license suspended for 10 years!!!

I was a total dumbass back then. Now I am a total smartass......funny how time changes things!

1970's Picked up my 16 year old girlfriend in my dad's pickup. I'm 17. Drove to an out of town liquor store and bought us a bottle of Boones Farm wine. We polished it off before we got back to town. Everytime a car came up behind us she would say "there's a cop behind you".

Driving down main street, I caught up with a buddy of mine, riding his 900 Kaw. Stop at a red light, he's revving it up, I'm revving it up, she says "there's a cop behind you", I say "would you stop saying that". The light turns green, my buddy pulls a hole shot with a wheelie. I redline it and dumped the clutch, smoking the tires for about 20 feet, and on comes the red and blues!
Yep, a cop was sitting right on my back bumper when I did what I did!

I pulled over right there. He walks up and asked for license and registration. Back then they would ask you to come up and sit in their car. So I'm smoking up a cigarette trying to cover up the Boones Farm, the interior light up by the rear view mirror is blinding. He asked me "showing off for the little woman were you?" I thought that sounded good enough so I said "yea I guess". He wrote me up for spinning tires, $25 and let me go.

I went to city hall Monday morning and paid it. The next thing is, the newspaper posted every citation that was written each week. It was one of my parents favorite pages to read. So everyday I had to check the paper until I found the one that had my citation written in it and get rid of it. I remember hearing my parents talking the night I found it, "did you get the paper?, no did you get it?"

Thats the only one that I know of that I did get by with. Most of the time the news would arrive at the house before I got back and it would be hell to pay!
