Steal a car.. Go to Jail!

Provided me 30 minutes of entertainment :)

Reminds me of something they're doing around here to deter street racing.

One day I was at a light behind some Audi and a 2005 Mustang. Black paint, jet black windows, cant see inside at all. The 'stang revs at the Audi and the Audi revs back. The light turns green and they take off. They must have hit about 60 MPH then the 'stang drops back behind the Audi and suddenly blue police lights start flashing out of the windows. Quite the dirty little trick; I'd venture to say it's entrapment.

That is a dirty trick. The mustang started it? You do have to decide to take the bait, but to me that does sound a lot like entrapment. If he got a good lawyer he might be able to get out of the ticket.

Theres a game show like this. Escape the cops for thirty minutes in a stolen car to win. I am not making this up.

[Kaji]

I know you're not. I think it's in Russia or someplace like that, last I checked...

[Qbl]

Baitcar is cool, the people reaction when they know they are going to jail... priceless.

[Osucka]

I for one hate any and all laws related to entrapment.
Wahhh, they made it to easy for me to do something illegal so I went and did it, waaaaahhhhhh.

I think I'll go rob a bank and say it's entrapment because someone kept all that money in one place.

Next time you see an unlcoked car, baitcar or not, just go ahead and take it. You can blame the person that didn't lock it for entrapping you because obviously it was left there for you.

Entrapment laws are the stupidest laws ever created. :bang:

So you're opposed to entrapment laws. If you were driving on the highway going the speed limit, and a marked police car came up behind you to within an inch of your bumper very quickly, you wouldn't speed up to avoid getting hit. If the police car was right next to you and started merge into your lane would you remember to use your turn signal to swerve out of the way? It wouldn't matter to the cop looking to give you a ticket. Entrapment laws are there to protect you from authorities trying to make you break the law. I don't have a perfect understanding of the entrapment laws, all I have is a 1932 Supreme Court case Sorrells v. US (287, U.S. 435)

I don't see how baitcar is entrapment. Seems more surveillance.

Well, I wouldn't. I tend to hit my blinker and move into a slower lane. Of course, if that's not an option, I've been known to slow down. But then those were ordinary cars. Quite frankly, a police car should never do that sort of thing and so yes, that would be wrong.

However, getting someone to race when they know that's wrong is quite a different matter.

Yes, opposed.
NO! I would not speed up to avoid getting hit. I see police cars speeding all the time just because there is no one to pull them over and give them a ticket. I treat them the same way I treat other drivers. I go the speed limit until they get pissed and go around me. Plus, if they hit me I am pretty sure they have insurance so it's a good situation because maybe I can get a better car than the POS I was driving in the US. :rofl:
Plus, how can you not use your turn signal when you swerve to change lanes? I don't even think aboiut using mine, it's just a reflex. I've actually had friends ask me why I used a turn signal on a big curve. My response: "What? Did I? Oops."

In any case, trying to make you break the law and allowing you to break the law are two different things. Baitcar seems to be allowing you to break the law and then catching you when you do. Seems more than acceptable to me.:cop:
