Panicked Cop Look
The very quick and panicked look around that someone does while driving, after breaking a traffic law (running a red light, running a stop sign, etc.) to make sure that no cops were there to see it.
Bobby: Dude, you just ran a stop sign
Carl: S***! *does a Panicked Cop Look* Okay, no cops saw me, i think were good!
