I have tried it to no avail.  I think any time you are over the
water, you are considered "crashed" and it tows you out.

It seems that once you have gone over the speed limit or committed
something illegal, anytime you are near a cop, they will pull you
over even if they didn't see you commit the act.

In the city I don't worry about them when I hear the siren because
chances are that they are on a side street.

On the highway I have used two techniques:

	1. Get one ticket and then pass them going <= 75mph (in a 55 zone).
    I think they only pull you over for > 20 over the limit.
    Once you are out of range, take off.  Of course once you go >= 76 mph
    they will turn on their siren again you will have to repeat this
    procedure.

 2. If you pass the cop in the far left of the left lane (far away
    from the cop) you won't get pulled over.  I don't know how fast you
    need to go, but I have gotten away with this many times.
