Some guy at school got totally owned by the cops. There's a traffic light right where this popular street racing road turns from a four lane road into a two lane road. So this guy's sitting at the light and this blue Mustang pulls up next to him and revs it's engines. Our protagonist decides that the guy in the Mustang must want to race - so he looks around for cops. Rear view mirrors, both sides, down the 1/8th mile straightaway ahead of them (There's a blind curve after that).

Light turns green, and he stomps the pedal in his ricey Civic and he seriously thinks he's burning the Mustang. But the guy in the Mustang is still sitting back on the "line" at the light - and flips on some lights and sirens sitting on the dash, and takes off after him. Being the street racing moron he is, our Civic driver attempts to get away - after all, he has almost a 1/8th mile jump on the cop. So around the blind corner he swings - no traffic. But down the road, blocking the only way out (except backwards of course - this portion of the road runs along a ledge between a steep slope down into a river and the base of a cliff) is a marked cruiser, parked across both lanes, lights flashing.

Like any good bonehead, he stops, gets busted, they take him down to the station, warn him, and have his parents come get him. No charges this time, cops must've thought it'd be more productive to send him back to his racing buddies and tell them to lay off - the cops are getting tricky.

CliffNotes: Bonehead street races against a police Mustang by mistake, ends up trapped.

Those cops are getting tricky...

I think they did the right choice by not giving him a fine...

LOL Should have been a lot harder on him for running from the cops. That's an ass kicking waiting to happen.

Don't think so - he was just revving his engines. It's not like they talked. I'm guilty of engine revving in my fricking van, usually when attempting to figure out where the fvck random noise #4376473 is coming from. It's not like the cop went up to him and went "Dude, you wanna race?"

Cops are tricky. They have backup and experience. In situations where you may think that you can get away you simply can't forsee what trick they have up their sleeve.

I've always tried to put myself in a situation where I'd not feel compelled to try and outrun a cop :)

the cops around here have a firebird firehawk (seized in a drug bust) that they use to do just that.
