Awhile back I was on my way home from work, in my 88' GT, on Thunderbird, when a black Charger with dark tinted windows tried to bait me into racing. The Car is my daily driver, with 223 thousand miles on it, no way was I going for it. Found out later, that the Car is Glendale Pd, and has done this sucessfully to others (lots of fast Foxes on the westside!).
It rings of Police entrapment, but who wants to shell out the money for an attorney. Bottom line has to be, be smart about when, and where you are going to have a little fun.
