RC related run ins with the Police, good or bad
 

I searched for something like this with no luck. So here is a place to share any RC related run ins with the police, good or bad.

My first experience with the cops involving RC was good. Last winter I was running my G2R in an empty Walmart parking lot when a local cop came up to me and offered to radar it for me. I def thought that was pretty cool of him.

Yesterday I had my second experience. Although it turned out just fine I would classify it as a bad experience. I was running my crt.5 in my apartment parking lot, I have been running in this lot since I got started in RC. I was asked not to run the nitros in the evening when I had them but they're all gone! Anyways I had went off into the yard and turned to come back, I lost sight for a minute so I let off. It had come back up the hill I had went down but was way off and hit a bump that sent it into a little tumble and it stopped when the tire bumped into the side of a car. The guys alarm went off and he ran out. I walked over and there was no scrathes, dents, or anything except a spot where the dust was wiped off. He started yelling and swearing at me, pushed me, all while I was trying to apologize. Then he went to far and knocked my DX3R out of my hand, pushed me, and threatened to knock me out. I told him to go for it, it'll be the biggest mistake of your life! He asked would do and I told him I'd call the cops. He said go for it, why don't you call them right now, so I did. When the cop got here he realized the other guy had a cocky and bad attitude, that I was telling the truth that he pushed me, and that there was no damage to his car. The manager of the apartment complex had even come over and said that I have permission to run in the parking lot anytime I want. So although I had to call the cops on bad terms it turned out to work against the guy pretty much as he proved he was nothing but an A**hole to the cop.

Everyone else feel free to post your stories! I'd love to read about them, especially the good ones.

While walking to an open parking lot with my "black radar gun" we got stopped by a cop because sombody filed a complaint saying two guys had a gun of somesort in their hands. We showed it to her and she left right off the bat because she knew what it was. Kinda funny if you ask me...

after being pushed and then having a $300 radio knocked out of my hand i would have lost it, that guy would have been lucky to walk back to his door, and the crt would have turned into a weapon of choice, i mean some jerkoffs like that just need a good azz kickin. ( i mean what if you were a 12 year old kid and this guy come out and acted this way? ) its completely uncalled for

I agree and it was really hard not to push back, but I have to much at stake to sink to his level. I have a full carry permit for my handguns and don't want to lose that because of some idiot pressing charges for assault cause I pushed him back, cause I would have pushed him hard enough to send him to the ground if I had. I might be short and heavy but it's more than fat and that weight would just give me more leverage pushing him, so I kept my cool and made him look like the A**

yeah i agree, 300 dollar radio on the grond = hes on the ground :whip: :slap:

yeah or just run your crt into his shins....

i got 2 units called out on me, running my raze past a stationary speed trap... speed limit for the street was 25, i was doing 40ish.. after about 15 minutes doing speed runs ther were two officers.. the pulled up, flashed the lights and just watch the car go back and forth :D

Nice! I've been waiting to find one of them traps around when I have time to get my trucks and go have fun. I always see them on my way to work though.

Pick up a can of this at the local auto paint store: http://www.wmbarr.com/product.aspx?catid=82&prodid=135

Just sparay it on his car late at night. Heavy lines, one per panel should do the trick. When he tries to wash it off it will take all the paint with it... Great stuff, and the spary can is great to write an "choice" words or phrases that you may come up with.

That would be great but I think at this point it would be a little to obvious who did it, but you never know what might happen in a couple months:lol::diablo:

...a dish best served cold...

i want some aircraft remover... :D

write loser on his trunk... then it will make you laugh when ever you see him driving away...

I've never hd an RC-related run in with the police. I only really drive on the street in front of my house, and a place called fiesta island, which is pretty closed off and theres not many people around. I could see how somebody could think a remote was a gun or something though, especially with 2.4ghz systems; no real antenna.

I once had a run in with the cops when i was into nitro and it was good. I was out driving my Revo one Saturday afternoon at our 5 acre park and this guy in my neighborhood came out after about 10 minutes and told me to shut that F**king thing off because the noise was driving him crazy. So of course i didn't listen and he went home. About 15 minutes after that the cops showed up with this a**hole and after calmly talking to the cops and showing them what i was doing they said that is was doing nothing wrong and i was doing it within resonable hours and not above the noise ordinance laws. Well of course my neighbor got really mad and left to his house. The cops stayed and talked for a short while and clocked my Revo which was cool and just asked me some general questions. Well just as they were getting ready to leave the a**hole neighbor opened his garage door and took off on his crazy loud Harley. BTW i have never complained about how loud his bike is. But the best part is when he took off the cops just looked at me smiled and quickly took off after him. Well come to find out later they pulled him over and cited him running straight pipes and gave him as ear full for waisting there time on a guy with an RC. What a hypocrite huh?

:rofl::lol:

That one was good.

All i have had for runins, was a few radar checks but no comments, and one time where a neighbor was worried i had a bomb on the car :neutral: I guess he had just watched Dead Pool, That was cleared up as quick as i took the body off, so no foul
