As a youngster, did you use to run from cops just for fun?

Question

My friends and I did. We would make surprised or fearful facial expressions and then yell, "It's the police! RUN," even though we hadn't done anything criminal.

It was hilarious.

Answer 1

That was a different time though. Now I would be to scared of being shot. Half of the pranks we used to pull carry jail sentences now....poor kids.

Answer 2

Yes, used to be one of my favorite past times.  We had a curfew in our town and we would stay out a few minutes after and get them to chase us.

Answer 3

I had a good friend who did this at 16. He was shot 12 times in the back by law enforcement. He was mistaken for a burgary suspect who was being pursued by police.The officer was suspended, reprimanded, and back on the job in 3 months. I still mourn the death of a good friend who was murdered by the police. It is something I have never gotten over.

Answer 4

And now you can understand why many officers act the way they do!!

Answer 5

We did stuff similar to that, it was pretty fun.  What happened when they caught up to you??

Answer 6

Never. My dad was a cop and I would have gotten my butt kicked! He wouldn't have seen the humor in it.

Answer 7

Thanks...my tax dollars at work! I hope you have grown up now.

Answer 8

yeah it never occured to us that they might be just driving by our house to get somewhere else to we would scream at the top of our lungs and run and hide and not come out for like 15 minutes lol then we would stay inside for the rest of the day/night lol

hilarious..

Answer 9

Like two times but after that i decided it's not worth getting my A'' kicked. tackled, etc.
