    Driving on the highway and some douche was weaving in and out, then cut us off. Missed hitting us by an inch.

    We immediately said, “I wish there was a cop right there…”. And there was … Cop saw the whole thing and immediately kicked on the lights and got that asshole. We were hanging out the window cheering when we went by the traffic stop.

      I had a similar thing happen, except that instead of a cop, they hit a patch of ice, slid sideways into a light pole completely fucking up the side of their expensive looking SUV, and then they drove off as if nothing happened.

    On a country road they pass me going well above speed limit. No thought for any oncoming traffic.

    Five minutes later I pass them, they are on the side of the road with a police officer at their window.

    I was going to my hotel in a city for the weekend. On my way two young guys try to rob my phone. Next street there was a police car, so they ran away. Pursuit ensue, they get cough.

    Pulling up to a light that was changing from yellow to red, when a crappy blue hatchback zoomed past me and the car in front of me in the next lane over, through the just-turned-red light. Local cop was first in line at the cross street and pulled out with the lights going. Saw the guy pulled over about a quarter mile down the road. Waved cheerfully.
