Toyota tundra police chase.

[Smoothbassman]

All I know is the driver of the filming vehicle had one big set of brass cajones and was one hell of a good driver.

Agree. We had some serious thread drift here. Back on topic.

 

When that chase entered the city it should have been called off. They put others lives at risk continuing to pursue thru town. Hell, he blew by a school bus!!!!

 

That pit maneuver should have been done when he slowed down on that rural back road.

 

Meanwhile on the other side of town the bank got robbed and they got away with 300K because the entire force was chasing one person.

EVEN IF they called off the chase, that guy would have continued on blasting down the road at 130 MPH. No sir. They did the right thing by continuing after that idiot. EVEN IF others got killed or injured as a result, and EVEN IF it could have been one of my family or loved ones that got injured or hurt. I loved how those V-6 Chargers kept up pretty good and how the state patrol V-8 charger when flying by and was able to take lead and start the pitting. Yes car with the dash cam was a V-6. I know the sound well Not bad for a 300 HP 6 cylinder. There were no crown vics in that chase.

[Colossus]

Honestly that was very dangerous. The charger trying to pass the crown on a two lane road and end up staying side by side like there racing.

That was not a crown vic. That was another Charger. The Crowns are pretty much dead and they have VERY crappy acceleration as compared to the V-8 & V-6 Chargers. If it were a Vic, it would not have the fast acceleration you were seeing from the dash cam in that Charger.

EVEN IF others got killed or injured as a result, and EVEN IF it could have been one of my family or loved ones that got injured or hurt. I am dead serious. Until the auto makers are required to put realistic non-adjustable/tamperproof speed limiters on those vehicles, super high speed persuits like this one need to see the idiots that are willing to drive that fast to flee the police brought into custody no matter the cost.

This is what choppers are made for. Most PDs have new policies on chases in town. I don't know what the right policy is, but I gotta say there were a lot of people exposed during that chase.

 

Those guys chasing were going faster than I would. That idiot in the pickup was so out of it he didn't even know what the heck he was doing. He's luck he lived thru it. I'll bet the cops didn't treat him kindly.

[Colossus]

Most agencies can't afford choppers. Most chases occur in places where choppers are not of use. And there are even cases of vehicles being too fast for the choppers...

Helicopters are nice but rare. The Michigan State Police have 2 or 3 for the entire state. Google isn't much help to show me what cities have them still.

[Spurshot]

Every little agency has them around here.

This is where I live

[BRay'sGirl]

Any update on that story? Is he doing okay?

[Rme2513]

I'm sure bubba is taking care of him in prison

Head shot would stop jack wagons like this and save inmate crowding win win

IMO we should remove the quality of life expected by America's prisoners and keep them locked in a cell 23 hours a day. No books, TV, radio or commissary. Make the prison system a place where people really don't want to go and people will think twice before breaking the law. Also people who murder should be publicly hung immediatly after sentencing. There should be a death row but that should be the row they walk up to the gallows.

In the early '90's I remember a young American teen who was caught spray painting in a southern country and he was publicly cained as punishment. I would bet to this day he hasn't touched a can of spray paint and avoids the hardware isle in stores due to PTSD from his act of wrong doing.

Robert, I couldn't agree more. If we take away the privileges, they won't be as likely to go there.

 

I work hard, and make an honest living. There are sometimes that I wonder where my next meal will come from. In prison, you get meals handed to you everyday at the same time, and it's always hot. You always have a roof over your head, like minded people to talk to and plenty of exercise equipment to make some football teams jealous. Damn, almost seems like they have it better than me!

There is a season 2 episode of psych where an inmate is supposed to tell a troubled kid how bad prison is....

 

Wish the clip was on youtube, pretty funny.
