Revving engine in front of cop

I was revving my engine to impress some friends at school and sure enought the cop was in the Parking lot so he comes over and tells me I shouldn't be doing that because he doesn't want to hear the rice burners start revving theirs. I laughed and responded with "ok won't happen again. But it sounds pretty good right?" He goes " yea, do you have flowmasters or something?" "No just a muffler delete" he says good luck passing smog and drives off. This made my day.

I'm surprised he didn't issue a ticket for not having mufflers.

I think in general Cops can appreciate nice cars if you are not being reckless.
A few weeks ago I came out of a dunkin donuts and 3 county sheriffs were standing around my car, first I had to think, did I do something wrong, then I thought how cliche, cops at a donut shop. They were just admiring the car, asked me about engine, breaks and so on and then complimented me on it and how clean it was.

One of the first thumbs up I got after buying my 2010 was from a state trooper.

I think so because I drive my nova around with m/t slicks on it and they don't give me any issues. of course their windows may be shaking enough so they don't see them

if you get cops when they're not in "cop" mode, they are usually just normal guys.

I have a buddy who's a cop. He's married with kid so we don't get together often. But he comes over and we drink, go out to bars, whatever. Just normal people hanging out.

I try not to rev cars around cops. A few years back a buddy of mine revved his bronco with a cop near by and got an "abuse of power" ticket.

Say whaaaaa?


I'm friends with several peace officers and when I used to ride motorcycles..we'd tear up the streets together. They never even use their badge to get out of trouble, but then again..we never ever ever sped anywhere at anytime.
