If a cop got my plate number when will he get me? URGENT!?

Alright perhaps you saw my post before but I was being a ******* idiot and acting on the worse judgement of my life by speeding against this guy. Anyways a cop caught us and I noticed after he must of been 1000 ft plus in the back ( leading me to believe he just went after the other guy ). It's been over 2 hours and he never seemed to pursue does that mean he didn't get my plate because I'm figuring if he did he would of had me by now. I drove 20 minutes away from the area and 35 minutes back to my house. Do you think I just got lucky and learned my lesson to never speed again or is it possible they just haven't done anything about it yet? I just want to say to anyone who replies or reads this that I'm sorry for me acting like a child but I am glad no one was hurt and that it taught me a lesson in life!

I think they would trace you and go to your house immediately. But the most important thing here is that you learned a lesson. Good for you!!!

They might send you a ticket though... :(

I think I hear them knocking on your door! Better run!

it's only a matter of time before you do time for your crime.

After 2 hours they most likely would have gotten you. They most likely put out a BOLO. That stands for "Be on look out", so if cops see your car you will most likely be caught, i suggest finding another ride for about a week. Be careful out there, i have a fast truck (about 400 hp) and its hard to keep it reeled in, i learned my lesson a long time ago when i got caught doing 120+ in a 70.

i would say that this time you lucked out, but it sounds as though you are thrashing yourself enough to avoid a long post on speeding dangers...lol slow down

They normally have a camera on the front of the vehicle....

If he got your plate, he knows where you live (or at least where the registered owner of the car lives.) If you were doing something dumb, chances are there will be a knock at your door. Kinda makes you wish you were caught, instead of sitting at home wondering if the police are going to come get you.

I know you got away. but do not speedrace again.

My best friend was hit by a car that was racing and slammed into a pole after the driver lost control.

it is so easy to lose control. What do you prove anyway? That your car is faster? your car is NOT YOU. YOU ARE HUMAN. IT IS A MACHINE. YOU DO NOT MERGE. YOU ARE NOT YOUR IRON, YOUR TOASTER OR TV OR ANY OTHER MACHINE YOU HAVE. Why do you think you and your car are the same???? Do you merge with your toaster and breathe the same air?

speeding was acting like a child ...don't speed or you might hit one

I am inclined to think that you just got lucky, however, if the cop did get your plate number, the local law might start keeping an eye on you.

Consider it a lesson learned, and be a safe driver so you don't hurt yourself or anyone else. :-)

it depends on how much they want you. they may be processing a warrant for your arrest or you may have gotten off. if they have your liscence then they may be on the watch for your car when you go driving next so they can pull you over. time will tell.


Jay Z
they'll catch you one way or another.

Odds might be that he took a picture and you might get a ticket in the mail. If they didn't take a picture then they might have tried to find you in the area, but gave up.

Overall I wouldn't worry about it unless you get something in the mail from the Secratary of State's office.

I think they would have done something by now and don't worry we've all done stupid sh*t but it's good you learned your lesson.

It's hard to say. They're the police, so they know where you live by your license tag. Time is on their side. By speeding away, you added a charge of "resisting arrest" to your offenses, but I have no idea what the priorities of your local police are or what kind of night they're having.

Cops do have to consider carefully whom they will chase. A sheriff's deputy once passed a tractor in a high-speed chase after someone who ran a stop sign. The deputy ran head-on into the truck of someone driving home from work, killing the innocent commuter instantly and leaving a 25-year-old widow.

So, on behalf of the other six billion people on earth, I'd like to ask you to not run from the police, ever.


Mommy of 2!
they can run the tag and get the address and come to your house and issue a citation or mail it...most likely they won't do anything though..dont worry about it.

Yes this does mean you got away. It shouldnt go any further. If the cop wanted to get you and give you a ticket he would have. You are blessed that no one got hurt. Take this as a lesson learn, from someone that knows 1st hand. It doesnt pay to speed. You never know who you are driving up against.

You'll find out soon. In the next few days or so. I'm glad you learned your lesson

humm.. if there were cameras where you were speeding from, then... well be sure to expect mail in less than 5 days...

o yeah..p.s. and make sure that the cop doesn't use the yahoo answer thing... and find this question... and then he will trace you're IP address and go pick you up. .. hey it could happen... well that's what my friend told me. and he's like a computer geek.

When will he get you? Whenever he likes.

Hard to say. I say slow down, chill, and wait. You should have known something by now.

I wouldn't worry about whether you get caught or not. If you do, then justice will prevail, and you will face your punishment as you deserve. If you don't, then you'll face the punishment of your own guilt, which is infinitely worse. Either way, just look ahead to the future, and make the promise to yourself and to all of us that you'll be a citizen from now on.

why dont you act before you think next time like you did with this here blog

Well you probably got away this time. Were you losing the race because i would have gone for the faster one. Watch out thought depending on your state laws and how old you are you can lose your license until you turn 21 and have your impounded for 30 days or in long beach they can choose to crush your vehicle.


school girl
well i have been pulled over 3 times and it was just to get my phone number, In a nice flirty way i just told then that i was married and that is was very sorry, and i got out of there really quick.....
