Djgb13 2,338 Posted February 20, 2021 I know some of you are pretty up there in age so back when you were young you would actually be able to get away. Nowadays, it’s harder. So any of you successfully ran from the cops? My dad has. Told me stories of him street racing and would run from the cops. Cross the state line and they couldn’t get him. I ran from them in college during a frat party. Managed to get my buddies and me in the car, head down the road, turn into a corn field, cut the light, and see tons of cop cars go by flashing their lights.

DonS 3,050 Posted February 20, 2021 I had to jump out of a 2nd story window once to avoid the cops. I had just finished banging some skank when someone started banging on the door. I looked thru the peep hole and saw 4 big black police officers. I gathered up my stuff and made a hasty exit! As it turned out it was just your mom's next clients. Guess she put out a 4-for-1 deal on Craigslist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,407 Posted February 20, 2021 Yup. Never got caught but I mooned them from across the lake once and they knew it was me and came to my house so I had to go to the station and apologize, as per my father. He made me walk home, it was like 5-6 miles and then I caught my beating when I got home. Good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted February 20, 2021 I ran on foot from the cops. We were drinking at the park at night. We cut between the back yards to one of our buddies parents house. They actually knew we went there but his parents refused to let the cops come in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5-Points 2,695 Posted February 20, 2021 There was a pizza parlor near where I worked back in the early 90's that served $2 pitchers of draft. A few of us would go from time to time for a liquid lunch. I was heading back to work, late, after one of these liquid lunches and I made a left turn on a red light. As soon as I did I looked in the rearview mirror and saw red lights start flashing a little ways behind me. Rather than stick around for the inevitable, I stood on the gas peddle for about 1/4 mile and went around a big sweeping right hand turn where I lost sight of him and, more importantly, he lost sight of me. I hit the brakes and ducked into the first parking lot on the right, parked and started walking toward the front door of a business. That's when he flew by. I waited a few minutes before returning to my truck and then to work. All the guys at work had seen him fly by. We all had a good when I told them he was after me.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted February 20, 2021 In Los Angeles, the way to run from cops is to steal a car, break line of sight with the helicopter using a tall building, then ditch the car and disappear into the crowd. Cops usually stay well back to avoid causing unnecessary injuries or property damage so they can't make you. Carry a change of clothes as well. The other way is to scout ahead of time for good sewer entrances with multiple exits and use one of those. Cops will NOT follow you in because they are afraid of getting ambushed.

BeenHereBefore 1,300 Posted February 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Cloaca du jour said: Yes, both involving throwing snowballs. I ran from some guy after we bomb his car with snowballs. He had a ball bat and was pissed. Was like 5 of us and one chic, I was in the back of the pack running and heard someone mention he has a ball bat. Then heard him say I'm going to kill all you Mofo's. I was quickly up in front and ended up hiding from him with the chic behind a shed. She was pretty cute and regret not hitting on her.

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted February 21, 2021 Twice in high school. Once was a typical "house party gets busted" scenario. I hopped in my car and a bunch of random people just dove in through the windows. They had the only exit to the subdivision blocked off, so we ended up taking my tiny Honda civic hatchback off roading across a soccer field, through the Baptist church parking lot, and onto a different road. Got away clean. The other time I blew by a cop way too fast, like 65 in a 35 fast. By the time he pulled out onto the road and hit the lights, we could barely see him. Called a friend in a nearby neighborhood and told him to open his gear age door and stand by the button. Hauled ass to his house, and shut the garage door. Cop drove by about 30 seconds later. We laid low for a couple of hours and went home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,082 Posted February 21, 2021 Maybe from a high school or college party that was busted but does that really count? It wasn't like they were coming after me specifically. So my answer is......No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,023 Posted February 21, 2021 Not technically running, but I think I got away from a cop. New Orleans on Elysian Fields Ave. I was passing a truck on the right as a blew through a light only to see a cop sitting at the intersection obscured from my view. There was a burger king on the left so I swung around into the drive through. The cop didn't follow me in and went around to wait for me at the gas station next door. He was there with his car facing the street just chilling. Only problem for him was there was this little underdeveloped road that led to the UNO dorms behind the burger king, so I ordered a small Coke and drove back around the burger king and onto the jacked up road and got away. He would've had to drive against traffic to follow me and probably didn't realize that road was even back there. Not even 100% sure he was going to come after me, but I felt pretty lucky.

I don't think bring the dogs out warranted us playing BB ball at late at night. Speaking of German Shepherds I had them most of my life and great dogs. I would known not to mess with them. I would have came out. Ps. my last one I had could sniff out anyone in the woods a mile away. We use to do that and he would find whoever was hiding every time Was pretty cool to see..

jerryskids 5,069 Posted February 21, 2021 13 hours ago, Cloaca du jour said: Yes, both involving throwing snowballs. Funny, as I was trying to think of a run in with the 5-0, my mind wandered to general times I got in trouble, and several involved snowballs. My most brilliant one was hitting a car with a snowball in front of my house. They stopped and I panicked and ran... into my house. I’m guessing I got an ass whupping for that. For the cops, I don’t have any good stories of running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
