    Default LEO as a Rabbit?

    First of all, let's not try to turn my thread here into crapola, like my others, (a few members know who I am referring to [replacer_img])please, as this is out of fun and learning.



    While heading north bound on I-35 in OK, I spotted the almost perfect "rabbit".

    Me and another car followed this LEO for about 58 miles non stop, at a sustained speed of 85 mph, in a posted 70 mph zone. I tried to video my GPS showing the speed of 85 mph, while following this rabbit, but it is kind of blurry, but you can still tell what speed it is. I actually have about 5 videos of this in all, but posted one so you get an idea.


    My question is how many members here have used a LEO as a rabbit??

    that is pretty sweet... I personally have never had the guts to use a LEO as a rabbit, especially when going 15 over

    Thats seems balsy. All he had to do is flick on rear radar and you;d be toast. Correct?

    Or the LEO could pace him. LEO looks at his speedometer then at the guy following him. Gotcha

    I do it more than I should admit... Just make sure to keep good distance or lots of traffic bw u and them. Also fall back once they hit triple digits is also a generally good idea.

    Actually this one video, was when the LEO got stuck in that lane behind traffic, and I was able to be in front of him till traffic cleared, and that was when he passed me on the left. All other 4 videos I have of this trip I was behind another black car that was behind this LEO. I figured that it went on for this long, that this LEO did not mind if I was on his A$$, LOL. It looked as though he had a prisoner in the back of the cruiser though, doing a transport, so he was not worried about speeders.

    Used a couple of LEO cars as rabbits on I-35 south through oklahoma approaching texas last summer. Good time going 15-20 over for probably an hour, then slowed down as the 955 picked up small bursts of radar up ahead and there was a state trooper in the median.

    I travel that same stretch of highway daily, north bound in the mornings and south bound in the evenings.. There are several speed traps in that highway also.
