Christ you really oughtta try calling in and reporting wreckless driving. It is
SO. . .thoroughly pleasing to watch a cop snap into a 180 degree turn on the road and haul past you to chase down someone you reported.
I usually only report on the interstate but there are some long roads with no turn offs that are reasonably well patrolled. Probably two months ago I called on a guy that came roaring passed me on his motorcycle( I was coasting just slightly above the speed limit(45 I was doing 46-47 and slowing). The cop had just turned on the road at the last turn off for a couple of miles and is headed my way while I am talking to dispatch. He waited till I passed him and then peeled around screeching and sliding lights on.
Biker was in handcuffs in the cruiser when I got there. Two cruisers blocked off the lanes and shoulder. I stopped to talk to the officer(I had to wait for them to unblock the road), he apparently tried to run and the other two were at a speed trap right by my apartment.
Impounded his bike. Haven't seen him in the local sunny bikers that drive down my road.
