oh man, it is so weird to have cops following you. I had a cop yell at me for blowing through red lights and for two miles afterward this cop was always behind me. I mean it sometimes went past me but would do a circle around a city block to position itself behind me again.
so weird.
Kinda unrelated but yesterday twelve apartment units burned down and cops barricaded all the streets leading to the apartments. I was going around a blind curve, about 120degrees to the left in a ten foot length. All of a sudden a cop car was there and a cop was in it. I had to skid to stop and redirect myself to the left of the car. The thought of slamming into a cop car at full speed is kinda scary.
