Whip Flees from Police!

[Lawman]

Unfortunately there was a police pursuit of one of our own this weekend who learned the hard way that you might be able to outrun the police car but you can't outrun the Motorola..Possibly in weekend edition of San Antonio News. I'll let Whip tell the story the way he wants it told...

[Firefight911]

Oh man!!!! Even I wasn't gonna tell!!!!

 

 

How many cars for back up??? 5!!!!!!!!

[Angel]

Now, DO tell !!!!!

you got us all just waiting in anticipation for the details...

[Huzband]

I'd be glad to post bail for Mrs. Whip.

 

But the other......

 

Not so much.

 

 

I can't wait to hear.......

 

The REST of the story.

 

 

 

 

[sundaeman]

Wow, you never know what's going to happen when you're gone for a while!

 

Film at 11

[roadscholar]

I had him on the phone a few months back while he was doing that, but he got away.

 

BTDT, of course many years ago.

 

 

 

 

[Lawman]

Phil,

What one needs to keep in mind is that even the Transit Police have radios...They really are police officers..Even the females....

I've never thought of Whip as a male chauvinist but I can't help but wonder if that was a factor in his decision to run?

Ya might be on to somethin' here!!! Hmmmmmm?

 

"Stop!! Or I'll say stop again!!!!"

[Knifemaker]

This has got to be better than a than anything we can imagine.......Please Whip put your hand on the Bible and repeat after me.........Do you promise to tell the WHOLE truth and nuttin but the Truth?

[Huzband]

...you might be able to outrun the police car but you can't outrun the Motorola..

 

My mantra from my high school days.

 

DAMHIK.

 

Exactly why I obey ALL speed limits at ALL times.

 

Well, except for that time in S.C. on the way back from Shawn's.

 

But, if you don't get a ticket, it don't count.

[Firefight911]

Who knew the truth that lay before this photo?????

 

[Firefight911]

A pattern maybe?????

 

[Firefight911]

No doubt, the whole police force came out after receiving frantic calls on the radio for back up!

 

[Huzband]

To steal a line from "Lady and The Tramp";

 

Where there are Tuono, there are Cops nearby.

 

 

'Course, when it comes to Russell...

 

Where there are Tuono, there are crash nearby.

 

 

 

 

I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself.

 

Just one of the grenades I've been accused of launching.

[Huzband]

 

Oh yeah? If you don't get your attitude right in a REAL hurry, I'm takin' your wife to Alaska.

 

[Whip]

Without pix it never happen!!!!!

[Huzband]

Without pix it never happen!!!!!

 

Yeah, whatever.

 

[Lawman]

Whip,

Did she really make you beg before giving your keys back?

[Firefight911]

That was after the " FILL IN BLANK " search that took place by the 5 other cruisers that showed up!!

 

They treated him like a bad donut!!!

 

[eddd]

Without pix it never happen!!!!!

 

I'm with Whip on this one. Anyone can make up a vicious story...the Internet is full of them.

 

Please provide photographic proof or stop this unwarranted attack on a law-abiding and respected citizen of the great state of Texas!

You'll notice his reply was no explanataion and was far short of a denial..

Now that's funny.

[Whip]

I was on my way home from work mindin my own bidness(6 pm Friday), still downtown, lots of one way streets, traffic lights every block, 4 way stops, heavy traffic. I was goin through the traffic at about 25 mph. The cars were goin about 10mph. I was changin lanes back and forth going through and past the cars. I came to a light 1 block before the freeway I was going to get on, 5 police cars quickly surrounded me. One car came from behind and blocked my progress, drew her gun and started yellin at me. I had ER6i's with "The Little River Band" playin "Cool Change". I could only see the cops lips movin. She was angry. I got my helmet off and took out my ear pieces. She started to calm down right away. I think she thought I was a 17 year old squid. She said she had been chasin me for several blocks. I was calm and respectful. I said I was sorry and didn't see or hear her. She took my keys from the bike and my license and went to her car. The other 5 LEOs all came over and talked to me. I was respectful and continued to be as helpful as I could. They(the 5 cops) went over to her car talked with her and then left. When she finally came back over to me she had calmed down and I again apologized to her for not seein her. I asked her if I had been speeding, she said "No". Did I miss a light or stop sign, "No". I waited for the punch line.

 

It seems I had changed lanes without signally far enough in advance. So that's what I got a ticket for.

 

The most interesting part was that she wouldn't let me put my ear plugs back in before I rode off. She said she would write me another citation if I put them in. I told her I always ride with ear protection, she said she has a GW and doesn't because she wants to see and hear everything around her. It was a noisy ride home and my ears are still ringin as I post this. I told her the GW has a lot more wind protection than the bike I was ridin.

 

Overall I think she wanted to stop me early and give me a good talkin to, but once she called in the reinforcements she had to give me a ticket.

 

Whatever.

 

I'll go see my get outa tickets for a small fee lawyer tomorrow and see what happens.

 

In a month I won't even remember it happen.

 

BTW...Roadscholar has a different story, with a happy ending.

 

 

 

This the last time I call the Lawman after dealin with a fellow officer. It must be that thin Blue Line.

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't know ear plugs/speakers were against the law???????????????????

[eddd]

Whip, I've been tring to send you a private message, but I'm not sure how. I'll send it here in code so no one will catch on.

 

 

 

 

Was the ostpay oodgay?

WTF???????????????????????????????????

[Kaneman]

Ahh geez Whip, we're seperated at birth.

 

After well over a year without one I've gotten two speeding tickets in the past week. 54 in a 40 and today I got written in Haltom City for 84 in a 65.

 

Anyone know a good lawyer in DFW?!!?!?

[russell_bynum]

She just wanted to check out the Tuono up close.

[Huzband]

Guess I sold you them ER6's just in time.

 

Who knew?

[Whip]

Guess I sold you them ER6's just in time.

 

Who knew?

 

I wasn't gonna mention that....I don't squweal on my friends.....(Lawman)

 

[Huzband]

Just wonderin'....

 

Were you on the Tuono, or the fast bike?

[eddd]

I don't think I'd consider that boring...I'd put it in the scary column.

 

Seems like someone might have over reacted...pulling a gun because you didn't signal and then didn't stop. It would seem that your speed and lack of evasive driving would have been an indication that you weren't really fleeing. You are taking it better than I would have.

 

Hope your lawyer has luck with this one.

 

Good choice in bands, BTW. Any mention of the Little River Band has me "Reminiscing"

[Whip]

Thunder!!!!!!

 

I just took it in for the 600 mile whatever.

 

I'll be on the KTM for at least a week.

[Lawman]

I think she thought I was a 17 year old squid. /quote]

Can't imagine why she would think that..

So how old are you?...

It was a feeble attempt at humor. You don't remember pig latin?

[Huzband]

Considering how you were treated, I'd think this happened in St. Johns County.

I don't think Texans ever watched the Three Stooges.

 

I'm still deciferin' it.

[Rocket_Cowboy]

I didn't know ear plugs/speakers were against the law???????????????????

 

Laws related to ear plugs vary state to state. Some states complete forbid them, others only allow use in one ear.

 

I'm with you though, I wear them regardless. Had she told me I couldn't put them back in, I'd have gone down the road a short distance until out of eye sight, and then put them right back in.

She never pointed the gun at me, just unholstered it. I never felt threatened or nervous in anyway.

 

Still not too worried about it.

 

I've had many "run ins" with the LEOs. Most of the time I was on the border of the law and pushed it, this time I was doin the same thing. I was not "respectful" of the cagers. They were obstacles, pylons, and I prolly pushin it a bit more than I should have. At the same time the lady LEO felt like I was runnin. She may have overreacted, but she was doin what she thought was her job.

 

I can live with what happen, I'll turn down the volume and hopefully hear the sirens in the future. It could have been an EMT tryin to save someones life.

 

 

The inner ear speakers and the Law still bother me.

Not old enough to know better than to tell you anything.....

 

...and haven't you typed enough this evening.

 

[Little Joe]

I wonder if his first words to her were "Lady, take it easy on me"?

[Joe Frickin' Friday]

I told her the GW has a lot more wind protection than the bike I was ridin.

 

True dat. Rode a GL1800 from Denver to Gunny in '06; no earplugs, no problem, it was as quiet as my car behind that giant Lexan barn door.

[Huzband]

Maybe she mistook the Tuono for a white Bronco?!?

[SageRider]

It seems I had changed lanes without signally far enough in advance. So that's what I got a ticket for.

 

So Whip, exactly how many feet before the lane change must one signal in Texas?

[Tank]

I was believing this story till he mentions the work part .... hard to imagine.

[BeniciaRT_GT]

Live by the sword...

I was hoping to buy a siezed 06 KTM 950 Adventure in a Texas police auction.

100 feet....I'm sure she had a tape measure..

It's not Whip's is it?

[Bullett]

I don't think Texans ever watched the Three Stooges.

 

This one did. Slam Bang Theater with Icky Twerp in the DFW market! It was on every afternoon after school.
