First of all :sorry:, long post.

RAPTOR2012GR + his wife, LEGORAPTOR, a fellow Raptor owner that I don't think is on the forum yet, another friend and myself went out to South Padre Island to have some fun. Well that was short lived seeing that we got kicked out as soon as we got on the beach by a **** head power trip constable after we cleared the heavy populated area(for those that know SPI, right before Access 6). Our buddy got pulled over for 'driving on the sand dunes' which clearly he wasnt but was kicked out for 'speeding', again BS. We went back to the city limits and cooled off on the bay view.

After a few cold ones we decided to try out our luck again and drive all the way north till the road ends and actually go through the sand dunes to avoid the constable, drive all the way north of the whole island (which is pretty much south of Corpus Christi). We cleared the dunes, well the 6.2s did it like nothing while my 5.4 struggled and no law in sight....for now. We pretty much just drove from there till we hit the nude beach marker.

After a long spirited drive, we finally made it to East cut. To no surprise, only vehicles that were out there were FORDS!!

We decided to head back and LEGORAPTOR called me that hes on his way. On our way back my Raptor out of no where @ 80mph it somewhat 'hydroplanes', luckily it didnt flip and a small sand dune was there to stop me. BTW thats on vid, not so much the 80mph sand drift.
Ok long story short we went to get more beer for later, decided to go back through the same sand dunes we entered and guess what? That same **** constable spots us, threatening us that hes going to be towing trucks and making arrests for criminal trespassing blah blah blah. We leave and run into LEGORAPTOR on the beach. Turns out the **** constable pulled him over for 'speeding' and gave him a ticket. We head back to the bay view and stay put.

^ Was this a while back?


Great pictures... Looked like a blast even with the law coming down on you!
Thank you! Yea that guy was a complete A-Hole. The second time he stopped us he was complaining that we're criminally trespassing, because he felt like he had the power to ban us from the beach, and that he has to deal with a kid that was drowning. Why not go attend to the kid, firefighters and paramedics?! I seriously hate that guy.

And the video. 5:38 is the mark where I lost it.
