What Can The Cops Do?
Boy you think your mr evasion. I guarantee I could track you with My dogs. thru whatever you want to go thru. and so what if you can go 50 miles per hour they follow you right to your house or wherever. Its irresponsible to run. and if your gonna run you dont deserve to have a quad and they should take it from you.

You guys are rediculous. If an officer of the law tries to pull you over. STOP! If you run, you go from the possiblity of a misdemeanor charge (riding an off highway vehicle on a highway... etc) to a felony (evasion of a law enforcement officer).
For those of you who are so scared you may get a ticket... here's something to remember: tickets go through court. If you are curteous to the officer and he still wants to be a punk about it, take it up with the judge. Explain to him/her that you tried to be polite about it and that you weren't causing harm. You will find that 9 times out of 10 judges are much more sympathetic that the officer that pulled you over. And the best thing is... the judge has much more power than the officer.
It pays to play by the rules. If you get caught breaking them, be curteous and you will come out smelling like a rose.

Im gonna laugh when i seen one of ya'll on cops and They beating you with the nightstick. WTF. runnin is what causes the big fines and gives the rest of us a bad name. Have a lil respect and ride where your supposed to or they will shut us all down.

Its for the point man. a cop shooting you in cold blood and framing you for it is as retarded as running from them. just my opinion though.

If you treat them with respect, they will treat you with the same. I've been pulled over in a residential area doing wheelies on my yfz.... He just rolled up and told me that he had a complaint about people on quads..... Then he told me to be safe... and have a good one.... I always talk to the cops... It's never worth it to avoid them...

in my town if u get cuaght riding anywhere but ur own property or private property with permission they impound ur quad on the first offence 185$ plus $10 a day for storage. Second offence they confinscate it and auction it.
Its probably cuz retards in my town keep crashin n dieing n runnin from the cops. We have zero legal riding areas.
