Whe'll I will make an effort to be as forthcoming as possible.
Last night my car(yellow NSX)my fiance's car (yellow Cobra)Aaron black (hyped out 626 Mazda)Cris (supercharged Red late model Cobra) out Sat.night went out to the local car show.
Afterwards we decided we would make the usual loop around town,grab some sushi,cruise past the clubs and if anything looks worth stopping for we will stop.
Along the way we aquired a couple of younger import type stringers that decided to follow.
There was no speeding (really I'm dead serious)No drag racing ,just a few friends out stone cold sober and showing off their cars.
Suddenly,down in the middle of the club areas,Cops on horses,unmarked,marked,bycycle cops stop us all and say they recieved a report that we were speeding as a pack doing 65 in a 40(criminal speed)in a short block area of 2-3000 feet long where we "did" turn and then stopped at the next light which is where we always go.
Were we there "yes" were we speeding "NO" .
We all replayed the entire evening through in our heads (including the area questioned)and all agreed amongst ourselves that we definatly were not speeding!!
Rather than argue w/ the officers (who were there and stopped us) which were not the officers that called in the complaint and asked the police to issue the request to show up in court on the 20th' of this month we all remained cooprative and were released to go at 2:30 am (we were stopped at 11:45).
the question is what the hell do you do with this.
Note.. They supposedly paced us but were plainclothed and unmarked and didn't have the time to stop us.Unless we were all drag racing theres no way we could have reached such speeds anyway by the next light and stop w/out jamming hard on the brakes(which one of us would remember).
Bottom line this is bogus and we all want to fight it.What would you say,do,etc.etc.
We all have a rule (NO STREET RACING IN PACKS)especially on public streets on Saturday night when we are out.
If any one of us want to race we meet at the track or on a desolate road out in the boonies and never ever in a metro area!!
We all stand accused of "criminal speed"
25 over the posted speed limit.
What to do????
