instagram.comGuys... the US and UK have two things in common:
-
We both hate Justin Beiber.
-
YOU DO NOT FUCKING TALK TO COPS.

"Lawyer the fuck up. You can't handle that shit. I've seen 300 people and only two people have asked for a lawyer. Both times someone said "Can I talk to a lawyer?" and the detectives just went "FUCK!".

Is that Tom Segura?

Yup. He's on Netflix. Funny shit.

Yeah! I knew I recognized that quote and I'd seen the special on there like 4 or 5 hours before you commented that lol. He's also really funny on The Crabfeast podcast with Ryan Sickler and Jay Larson, two other stand ups. Couldn't recommend the podcast enough.

I've always wondered if this is enough for a conviction.

That's happened to me before. He's trying to serve your buddy a ticket, or get him to incriminate himself. I denied it saying I let my buddies borrow my bike. Worked out fine.

There is no situation where you making that phone call ends well, not that i can think of

WASN'T ME, OFFICER

Do not answer. Deny ever getting the call.

Kind of hard after posting it to Instagram

I had something similar happen a couple years ago after driving my car on Thanksgiving day at about 110 mph for a good 90 miles or so. Got a phone call the next day from a detective that I had passed who was driving with his family.
To make a long story short, after originally wanting to meet me face to face at the troop, I was able to talk my way out of it by being contrite and not denying anything.
So, it's possible to have a positive outcome. I can't imagine ignoring the situation will make it go away. If he does end up with charges, a good attorney could probably make it difficult to actually convict him of anything though.

You were 'able to talk your way out of it' because he didn't have fuckall to charge you with. Literally. Unless he's one of the 2 cops in the COUNTRY legally trained and certified to judge distances by eye, or he had a dash cam on his spedo, his spedo is calibrated and certified, and the dash cam is too, he has no proof you were speeding.
So by not being a dick you basically didn't get out of anything, but I'm glad you weren't doing the 'ragehard' idiocy.

Right, my attorney told me that if he had ticketed me, there was about a 100% of him getting it dismissed.
2
Yeah, don't call back. When he calls again, don't answer.
This could turn into "hey man I was behind you blah blah blah" To "you're under arrest for failure to stop" Reaaaal quick.
Don't ever talk to police without a lawyer, the only reason he's calling you is for you to incriminate yourself. Just don't.

How'd they get your number?
2
He probably had it on speed dial
6
Most likely from his registration.

In the UK they only have our address. This whole scenario is terrifyingly big brother esque

The UK, home of CCTV on every corner, anti social behavior orders and mass disarmament of everyone who isn't directly related to protecting the royal swine. But cops getting cell numbers.. big brother!!

Here in Norway anyone can get the name + adress from the registration. You simply have to send a text message with the number and you will get the info back.

WHAT THE FUCK

Registration of the plate?

Awwww shit

Just had flash back... Its 2003, on a hot summer morning in a rural town in VA. I'm standing in front of my work with my 98 ZX9R. The county sheriff and fire chief roll up. "We know it was you"!!! They showed me pictures of road ketchup, lectured, etc. They couldn't prove anything so I kept on doing it. I was doing the Sheriff's daughter too. She rode almost as hard as my old Z9.
Road ketchup?
I think pics of bad crashes.
