unmarked police cars

Its been a long time since I wrote in, which is good because I was busy working. Have been travelling a lot lately. Was in Minneapolis for 3 days, Mankato for a day. Huntsville, Alabama for 4 days and am in Huntsville again this week.

One very funny incident - I was driving from Minneapolis to Mankato. Its a 90 minutes drive and most of it is flat grasslands. The sky was slightly cloudy and it was a bit chilly. I was enjoying this evening drive a lot and I was not speeding because I didn't want this to end soon. It was a lonely road with just a couple of cars. I was about 20 miles from Mankato when a maroon colored car got just ahead of me. I decided to have some fun and started accelerating to get in front of it and then decelerated to let it go past me. Kind of teasing it. Suddenly that car started making sounds very similar to a police siren and the camouflaged blue and red bulbs which seemed hidden in the metal lining of the car suddenly started going on and off. I thought it might be some stupid punk who had redesigned his car. I slowed down a bit and let it go past me. I started driving 3-4 miles below the speed limit and followed the car for like 5 more miles. Then I lost my patience and zoomed past it. Suddenly that car again started following me and tried the police car trick on me again. I was slighly pissed now and ignored it for couple of miles. Then I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the driver of that car asking me to pullover. I then realised that this might be an unmarked police car.

It was a lady cop and she was mighty pissed at me. I was playing games with her and then zommed past her. I also didnt pull over twice. She came up to me and said 'Did you not see my lights on???'. I explained to her that I am from Georgia and we don't have unmarked cars so I thought it was just a car that was redesigned by someone who wanted to have some fun. She then pointed to her batch and said "Does this not look like a cops batch to you???, Don't I look like a cop to you??" I said I was sorry and would drive below the speed limit from now on. She did calm down and let me go.

This episode made me drive below the speed limit all the time I was in minnesota. This sucked bigtime because I love to speed. Once I landed in Atlanta, I felt like a free man. I knew that I could speed at will and I just have to be on a lookout for the good ol 'blue and white' .
