Got Pulled Over for "Intent to Street Race"

[SoCalCobra311]

I was driving home from the bowling alley with a few friends. I was in my car, my buddy in his VW GTi VR6, and my other buddy in his SL500. At the first street light we get to we were joking around revving on each other and took off for a second or two quickly but shut down since we were on the street. We maybe got to 20 mph when we shut down and out of nowhere we get lit up by 3 cops and the three of us get pulled over. I never saw them so we have no clue where they were parked or hiding. They gave me the whole speal about impounding my car giving me a ticket and 3 years probation. To make a long story short, we never went over the speed limit or really got the cars going so I got of with a verbal warning of Intent to Street Race on my record. How long will this stay with me? I never race on the streets and have zero tickets which I think helped.

You were exhibiting speed, revving, and traveling in a pack of other high speed cars, you got a warning and you are complaining?

Maybe by stopping you those police changed your destiny and prevented the fiery crash you were about to be involved in, you should have thanked them

Anyways, stay safe try to make smarter choices. BTW my rims look pretty good on your euro-crapbox :beer:

Verbal warnings are exactly that...verbal warnings. No impact upon your record. You should be extremely happy with that outcome given it was the best possible scenario for you & your friends.

You can't even be convicted of "intent to kill" or "Intent to rape" let alone "intent to street race. Intent is not a crime...

Surely not complaining, I am very lucky that I was givin a warning. I was simply wondering how long the verbal would be with me.

That depends upon how long you are smart enough to remember it. If you die in a fiery crash while street racing, it's safe to say the verbal warning was effectively gone from your (mental) record at that point.

pretty nice of them not to give you a ticket.

I was leaving a gas station one time late at night, there were no cars on the road so i gave it a little punch when i took off. no chirping of tires, no other cars, i dont think i ever went over 30mph. john law didnt agree with me and pulled me over for an "improper start" which is apparently just that: a wreckless acceleration from a stop without breaking the speed limit. basically its just another BS law so you cant say i didnt go over the speed limit. that little punch cost me 3 points and $140 bucks. you got lucky.

Is your car manual? If so I've always used the excuse "well I just learned how to drive stick and i'm still getting used to it" Most of those stupid laws are for cops to get quotas or to find kids with drugs on them.

 

[SilverELEX]

Take it as a lesson, you got very lucky. He could have really screwed you.

 

[Qwk GT]

I've gotten exhibition of speed tickets before, so I know you could at least have been ticketed for that. Plus you were in a pack and took off kind of quick, it wouldn't have surprised me to get pulled over.

But you only got off with a warning, so like others have said, thats not that bad.

The whole quota thing is a myth...

 

[yellowbra]

The whole quota thing is a myth, I know from personal experience.

ok your right they don't call it a quota they just call it "goals" that they HAVE to meet.

 

[AntiHeightPunk]

No offense but you don’t know what you’re talking about... You could have easily been cited for many offences (i.e. exhibition of speed, waste of finite resources, exc). Just thankfully they were cool cops and just scaring you so you dont do it again.

what exactly is waste of finite resources lolerskate now they can tell me im burning my gas too fast?

 

[SB VENOM]

Smooth move, you got really lucky to get that warning. If thats all it really was a "Verbal Warning" then nothing should have gone on your driving record, so you don't have to worry about "how long it will stay with you."

 

[Juruense]

In my younger days I might consider framing a warning ticket that said "intent to street race" on it. Just sayin...

thanks. Yeah I'v never had an M3 called a EuroCrap box :shrug: Maybe an old VW would qualify. I used to have an 03 Cobra it made a great down payment for the CrapBox. So anyways, the cop said he was putting a "note" on my record that he gave me a verbal so if I got caught again, I would get the full punishment. :uh oh:

I don't? My, how tactful of you to say. Please show me anyone who has ever gotten a legitimate citation for "intent to street race."

Thanks,
