He was probably mad because everybody knows Asians can't drive.

I got yelled at by a police officer, Monday for doing the same thing in my car. He's yelling about how I'm doing 85 in a 45 and all of the fines, points and loss of license stuff. I was doing maybe 60 but quickly lowered to 55 when he was behind me. I'm guess he did 85 to catch up to me and was pissed he couldn't do anything about it when I was doing 55.

RE: Buddy pulled over / jail time
Well I got an update.
He was charged with excessive speeding, and reckless driving. Possibly a felony account. He spent the night in jail, 500$ bail. He had to go see the squadron commander, and what not. He got a LOR and his driving/ riding privaliges revoked on base for 6 months. He goes to court on thursday.
He told me that we was going 45 down the road in 3rd gear, when a taxi cut in fron of him. The only way out he says was to fly around him, so he goosed it a little a blew by the guy. At the same time that he was speeding around him an undercover cop drove by the opposite way. Then as that happened there happened to be a cop up a head with his radar gun out, and popped his ***. Then the whole thing went down.

RE: Buddy pulled over / jail time
He was doing 45 and HAD to go 88 to make a pass so he could reach safety??? Is this the story he gave his unit? That sounds like something lame a kid would make up. Additionally, I don't think there is such a thing as felony reckless driving, but I'm not an expert on your state's laws either. Either way, his story is fishy as all hell, and the punishment he got sounds more consistent with RUNNING from the police as opposed to just speeding. Why else would the undercover cop passing in the other lane be relevant to this story?

RE: Buddy pulled over / jail time
It's a felony here in California, Im fighting one now. Of coarse it involved a mini van that pulled out across my lane into the next lane and when I slowed down, I down shifted (into 1st thinking it was 2nd). She then decided she wanted into my lane, when I cracked the throttle to get out of her way(like it's my fault) the front tire came no more then a foot off the ground.
When it happend a cop was giving another person a ticket and was watching it. I didn't even feel I did anything wrong (wasn't stunting) and kept on my way. 1 mile down the road the cop comes flying down the street lights and siren and swoops behind me and loud speakers me to pull over (he actually was being reckless). He didn't ask me anything just took my info called me over to sign for a Felony reckless driving. Then I had words with him, which at one point came to I will impound your bike and arrest you. His reasoning behind it all was he saw a bike similar to mine riding wheelies last week (at that time) and wanted to save my life. As I was signing the ticket I saidglad to know I have the only red and black sportbike here in Southern California and I will see youin court and asked to leave.
Moral of the story is Cops go overboard way to much and have it out for sport bike riders. the punishment is too harsh 85% of the time. So maybe Martin_D's buddy may of had words with the officer and the cop did what I mentioned above and followed thru with it.

Still though, I'm not buying the "I went 88 in a 45 for my safety" line....by the time he hit 88, he was WELL past the person he was passing and had activated his flux capacitor.
