What is the first thing you do?

outofmymind

I wave as a sign of my gratefulness for the work they do to keep me and my family safe. Unless they have the lights on and they are following me....then I freak and get really angry at myself!

Say Hi to the cop....Cold feeling will turn warm

Nevermore

I gotta say, first reaction is to take my foot off the gas. No matter if I'm speeding or not, its just a reaction. Just can't seem to help it. HA!!!

Hey there

I stop and talk with them. I come from a pretty large department and we all know each other.

I get the cold feeling also and I sure don't want a traffic ticket and am not jinxing myself

I like cops. They are my heroes. When I was nursing, I had the pleasure of working with them frequently. They are seriously unsong heroes. Whenever you see a cop while you are driving, just imagine what the highways would be like without them. Drive safely.

go about your business...turn your favorite song on & sing your heart out! you know, lots of the cops you see...there's a pretty good chance that they dont even acknowledge your vehicle...other than in obvious cases like where your best friend is leaning out the window spraying alcoholic puke all down the side of your car. just remember, they're not auto-pilots..they have to watch the road just like the civilians.

I have been a police officer, and I currently work in a jail. I wear the exact same uniform to work that a patrol deputy wears...and I still get that shiver of fear for a split second when I see a squad behind me.

Human nature! I always check my speed to make sure it is low enough.

It's natural. We all know we go over the speed limit a litttttle bit. And, sometimes, we think our car came to a complete stop, lol.
I look at my speedometer first, if I see them behind me, lol.

keep driving - you don't regularly speed do you?

I usaully just make sure I'm not going over the speed limit

even after having worked in law enforcement my first reaction is still to take my foot off the gas and check the speedometer. i think its a pretty common reaction because every driver (even if they havent been caught by police) has caught themselves speeding without intending to.

?
nothing... sometimes I slow down a bit if I am over but...

you do exactly what you've been doing. If you alter your behavior, they'll know you know you were breaking the law.

slow down ;) while praying he/she doesn't light it up and pull me over.

I mumble nasty things under my breath and check that I am doing the correct speed.

The law is a form of tyranny.

Depends where I am at, if it is in Chicago or one of the Suburbs where I have police friends and family, nothing. If it is a place where I don't know any cops, slow down and watch em in the rear view.

And as a rule I don't speed and always wear a seatbelt so it is not like I'm breaking any laws, it is just that with cops... Some are good and some are scum, better to be wary of the scum that you have no connections against.

I usually just wave.

intwotheblues

do nothing just drive. sadly even though I know police officers.. I don't trust them. Stay away don't talk to them. Why invite potential problems. If your a woman it's different they can say Hi and flirt. NOT guys! If your a guy just STAY AWAY

Mr. Spock

you know, up the the 70's or so the police was just like the postman, not a repressive intimidatory way of controlling masses, like now a days...

Speed off as fast as you can. They can't chase you anyway.

Just kidding. Drive the same speed as the rest of traffic and you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

The first thing I do is look at my speedometer then immediately put on the brakes if I am going too fast! If there is one behind me and I am not speeding, I turn off at the next available spot so he passes me up then I get back on the road! Nothing is more frightening than seeing a cop in your rear view mirror when you are going over the speed limit! This is why I always try to pay attention to the speed limit signs and how fast I am going!

I look at them and flip them off and say "EARN YOUR PAYCHECK AND CATCH ME IF YOU CAN" and there I go sideways in a cloud of smoke. So there u have it.
