Up in the panhandle. Bout 40 minutes North of Amarillo.





Ha, yeah I know I love how the cops want to search my truck and I'll tell them to get a warrant first and they get all pissy about it.




Damn that has to suck ass. I hate being followed as it is. I'm going to install a dash cam and a cam on the back of my truck so I can record them more to show how much of a problem it is.


Ahh near the border? Doesn't surprise me they would do that then...you should pull into a strip club and go in or act like you're going in lol

Well on the video i got there plate numbers and car numbers and i know its the same one because we only have 2 charger cop cars and 1 tahoe cop car ( the ones that always follow me) the rest are the old style ones (idk the name of the car)


Call the Capt, make a formal complaint. If, after speaking with the Capt, they continue to harass and single you out for absolutely nothing, take it higher. I dont know your previous history or record, but from the story you/ve told, they have no reason. Do not provoke them however, as it can lead to serious issues down the road.

they can follow you all they want. checking your plates, maybe another car that they're searching for is the same type, model etc. It could be anything and even if you bring it to the station they can claim anything. It's not harassment if they're just following you. They can just be checking the plates and searching for warrants, or whatever. I've been followed quite a few times in my sti just because they're stolen quite a lot in NNJ so usually Central NJ, LI, and Southern NY cops are notified.

If they're local cops they can't do too much out of their jurisdiction, but if it's state cops then it's a different story. Also +1 on the video, if it's illegal to use a handheld device while driving then don't.


If they do something like that again, just pull over and see what happens. If they approach, ask why you were being followed.

i would do this, get a good amount of recording in short amount of time and take it to a lawyer
imo i would not take it to chief of police, he's most likely friends with his co-workers like everyone else that has a job


Just took it to the chief 30 mins ago and he kept saying if it was him he would of pulled me over alot sooner and all this bs then when i mention i had it recorded he completely changed his mind and was like "oh well I'll write out the complaint and have a talk to them about this"

Just did, I have nothing on my record and for singling me out I got a charmander on the back of my truck... It's a pretty good size sticker so theres no way it could get mistaken for another truck like mine. I'm the only one in town with a pokemon on the back (city population is only like 14k, Our biggest store is a walmart).

Last night the cop was waiting down the block from my house with his car off, as soon as i passed him he turned it on and started following me to my house -.- this is getting to out of hand.




also on a side note anyone know what are good cameras I should buy? I'm thinking 100-150 each should get me good ones.

Well at 2 different times there was a point one of them ended up in front of me then pulled into the turning lane to let me pass and then got right behind me again. And at another point they sped passed me and i got behind them and when I told the chief about that he got mad shut the doors and was trying to say I was following them. And I told him look I got everything recorded and thats when he was like oh well in that case I'll let them know.

Get the video and put it on the internet before you show it to the chief? Maybe that will change his mind and get something done. :D
