I know... After I get advice I'm hoping Mike Can delete it, I just have no idea what my rights are at this moment, and don't want to make a bad situation worse.
I appreciate the help
Even if they can't prove it was you be ready to be hassled each and every time a cop sees you from now on....
I was in this situation when I was a kid to the extent I got up one morning helmet in hand stepped out the back door saw the cop parked across my driveway, I put the helmet down walked past smiled and waved and walked to the bus stop and caught the bus to work....

Tom I will tell you this is a terrible idea.
Legally your safe. Technically even if they got your plates, if they can't put you in the car, they cant prove you did it. The problem is your going to develop a reputation. Theyre going to be looking for you and its not easy to hide a supra. Then every time they see you they will turn around and follow you until your out of time or at your destination. Sooner or later they will get your plates in the act. They will show up at your door and make all sorts of acusations. Not talking to them is the best approach legally, but this will piss them off and make them come after you even harder. Keep it up sooner or later they will get the jump on you, and you will be running from undercovers, or multiple cruisers, dealing with roadblocks and spikes. Being in a small town is actually worse because they have nothing else to do. They get their hands on a helicopter (unlikely,but possible), you're fucked. Even if your get away, your gonna have to do alot of things you dont want to do including ditching the supra to cover your tracks and they still will give you headaches. Its a slippery slope and one to avoid.
Chances are he wouldnt have even given you a ticket. If he did, then you fight it, in court. My advice, pretend this never happened and don't do it again. Drive the speed limit for a while and they will move on.
Hypothetically speaking of course. BTW saying Hypotetically does not make something inadmisible in court.

stay at your buddies crib the nite, leave in the morning, and deny everything if your pulled ova, just drive the supra to your house, and park it up for a little bit.
Ive been in your shoes plently of times with the supra lol. My thoery is that if i pass you and im going 85-90mph and your parked up on the side of the highway, aint no way in hell your gonna catch me.
had a cop chase me because i was driving just open downpipe when i finished my swap, lol he couldnt keep up.
BUt just park up the car for a week or two thats all. And again, Deny everything, it wasnt you, you dont kno what their talking about, Your not even from around there, etc etc etc

Again dont say anything. If they could arrest you they would already be at your door. If you do get arrested only one word should come out of your mouth, and that word is "lawyer"
What speeding? what officer?
You were playing duck, duck, goose with your friends...right?
If you get confronted about it, just say they must have you mistaken for a ford probe.
Then say "Damn ricer...good luck finding this speed demon officer."
And go on to say, I really appreciate your hard work. You are a priceless asset to this community.
Then bid him a good day, and move on.

Yeah... the reputation is gonna suck, but they already follow me around because it's a loud sportscar, and I'm a kid. I appreciate all the advice and will say that I have no idea what they were talking about.
The supra will probabbly be parked for a week due to an estimated 15-20 inches of snow anyways.
I'm going to college in 4 or 5 months and the supra will be parked for a long 6 years, so I just have 4-5 months to avoid getting a ticket. I have an empty record and want to keep it that way so the speed limit I shall drive (when not on the highway)
Thanks and in the morning i'm going to PM mike to please remove this thread.

not sure where, probably massachusetts (Umass amherst/lowell, northeastern, WPI (Electrical Engineering), but don't plan on having the supra, will prolly get one of the old TDI jettas, and enjoy 50mpg
college is already expensive enough, and I would have to compromise with the supra.
lol REALLY not the best thing to do in MA.
i've done it before, like 4 years ago in new york. went to visit a buddy at his college and took him and some friends for a ride in my srt-4. i was doing about 90 in a 45 zone when i saw the lights, dipped up to 110, then broke hard and took a corner, he passed by and i pared it for the night. the next morning i was at McD's gettin some breakfast before i headed, a cop had drivin by me when i pulled in, there were now 2 cops sittin there watching me eat my McGriddle.
when i left they followed to the county line then turned around. my guess was they saw me leaving town and didnt feel like dealing wit me.
solution, don't drive like a dick... trust me.
you don't wanna learn your lesson the hard way.

Or just dont run for going 15 over... If you had a clean driving record you probably would have just got a warning.
Here they can book you for 2.5 Mph over.... :nono:
As pathetic as that sounds it happens.
3% allowance even though the Australian Design rules allow for a 10% speedo error.

I've been hassled for 6 over, and I've told the cop to go ahead and write the ticket and that I would see him in court. I have yet to have one give me a ticket, its happened 2 times now.

Im with him on that, i doubt anything will happen. if you believe he didnt get your tags and you happened to hide out right on time. The cop doesnt know where. One of two things may happen, your car is set on a BOLO, where they may look out for your car. If thats the case you have a 1/5 chance that they will actually pull you over. Technically you didnt do anything wrong besides looking suspicious for suddenly speeding off when the cruiser happened to turn on his emergency lights and turn around. Two, youre gonna have a really pissed off cop, that will do anything in his power to fuck you over. Think of it this way, keep calm, body language says it all. First thing i look for is any stuttering, awkward body language, and barely to none eye contact. YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. Funny thing is if it was you he was after and he happens to pull your ass over the following day he will be a dick. Play it smart
Things to think about:
1) What time of day was it, judging you were sticking the hood out till morning it was night? If so, how dark was it, maybe the cop didnt see the color of your car.
2) Is there a muffler law in your state/province? If so is yours loud?
3) For all you may know, the cop may have just got a call and happened to be in the same neighborhood (weighing options)
4) You owe your friend for being there for you :icon_bigg
Anyways, if i were to be pulling you over it would just to be to mess with you and actually just talk about Supras :biglaugh: Im a good cop, i swear
