Saw it tonight. 6 police cruisers, 3 up front, 3 behind, siren blaring, blasting up the carpool lane on the 405 north freeway during peak traffic hour, with an unmarked white van in the middle blinking its emergency signal. What the f*ck was that????

Anyone has any idea what/who could get that type of escort??? It had me thinking that a nuclear bomb was about to go off and they were getting some high level government official the hell outta there.

Boredom is a reasonable answer.

Around my area, I've seen 3-4 squad cars pull over someone for minuscule things like tinted front windows.

I've seen the Governator's motorcade and I would describe it as such...except the white van has always been a black Tahoe.

It was Jack Bauer-

you should have seen the 'police escort' that joined us during a weekend meet-

Imagine this...........

Red 997 GT2 vs Red Ferrari 430 doing a 150mph with 5 e60 M5s and 3 m3s following, doing the same speed down the highway. LOL!

Cops said they had over 25 calls from 'citizens' that were scared..... They shut down the entire highway and had 11 cop cars blocking the north bound lane-

0 tickets were given out :D

I think i have some amazing iphone pictures if you want to see them!

If you have the money, you could pay a dozen cops to escort you to work.

Reminded me what Jeremy Clarkson said in Top Gear....armored trucks use a lot diesel to move the heavy truck plus the pennies and stamps on it....like someone is going to jack the pennies...but fuel trucks cost thousands and millions worth of petro without any escort and armor....hmmm...:D

like the latest Fast and Furious....go hijack millions worth of petroleums....:laugh:
