If the police decide to look up the registrant's (your) name and address then show up at your house later, stay silent. 100% silent. Do not say a single word.
Do not negotiate, do not engage in small talk, do not come up with an alibi, do not even be polite and give them your first name so they can try to talk at you.
The police are in a situation where they observed a crime but have no suspects. By having the car escape and finding it later results in a situation called "lack of continuity."
It's up to the police to prove that -you- were driving the vehicle contrary to a law. I'd call that a "lack of continuity of the accused's journey" (and potentially even hearsay if anyone other than the officer that observed your car take off in the distance is at your front door). Just think why red light tickets are issued to the registered owner and not the operator (unless someone talks to the police and they can put the offence on a specific person).

I hate this, had the same thing happen to me. Are the cameras on their car that bad? Because I had one tail me for a few miles going to speed limit and he was probably no less than 2 feet from my bumper at 65 mph. Do they not think of the danger of that kind of tailgating?

They were trying to line up a few warning shots

They do this to spook you ibto doing something they can pull you over for or yo give them a valid reason to search your car when they do pull you over.

>drag race for more than a mile going 90+ in a 35
Felt good when I was 17
Probably wouldn't do it now because that was dumb as shit and one fuckup meant death and no license

This is a good legal philosophy, but it'll piss off the detective. It's okay to talk to him but if he asks you a specific question about the night of the incident just say "I couldn't say" or "I couldn't tell you" or "I don't have an answer for that. If he presses the issue you can just end the conversation by saying you're starting to feel uncomfortable. They're not going to arrest you without your info or they would have instead of wasting time talking to you.
When I was like 24 I used to fuck with a LOT of underage girls and although I just didn't answer the door when I saw some obvious detective on my cam, I would sometimes have to have those conversations to get them to fuck off. It also works when you suspect someone you know is recording your conversation.

This. Just don't worry about it and if they show up, just stare at them with an inquisitive look on your face but don't say a word. They'll just go away eventually, they have nothing on you.

This. They don't really care about traffic offenses, they're always after an arrest, that's where the money is.

Alright good.

Except the attending officer -is- looking for that information and that information -is- relevant and could later be used to crucify you. They are trying to establish a link between the person standing before them and the registered owner of the vehicle.
People like to talk; it's human nature. By being polite and friendly but -trying- to offer up no good or relevant information, you may unintentionally lie a little to pacify yourself or give credence to some sort of idea that you have to make your own story believable to yourself.
The only way to guarantee that you don't perjure yourself and you don't assist in advancing the investigation, stonewall the police. On a person-to-person basis, the police will consider this suspicious and will continue to question and probe for info. Legally and judicially, this is not suspicious at all and any questioning in 100% inadmissible.

This guy gets it.
The 5th amendment protects a person against being compelled to be a witness against himself or herself in a criminal case.
When they read the "Miranda Rights" and say, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you; same goes before hand too.

Almost every cop anymore who's out giving tickets is a douche. Pigfat kids from high school who couldn't get decent jobs and like having power over people.
