Must See Police Chase Video

I absolutely hate these videos but this is a must see for any would-be stunt driver. You gotta love this guy!

I was waiting to see the part where the police pulled the person out of the car and beat the cr@p out of him for endangering so many people’s lives along with their own for trying to outrun them.

I’ve never understood how people think they will outrun a radio or chopper in the air.

PA-leeeeease!

If you are the Po PO in a chopper following a theif in a stolen car you can freaking well radio ahead and make a road block... or more simply just follow him until he gets out of said car. Maybe they only get the car back. ...Maybe they get the guy. But what if they didn't get the guy or the car? ...Let's see... One guy & one 20-30k (insured) car vs. ????

To risk so much for one theif & one car is just too *****'d up!

Videos such as this one graphically depict exactly what's wrong with policing priorities today! .
[end rant]

BTW The driver does have skillz (skill - whatever). Luck would be once. ...Not 3 times & then a recovery after going over an embankment onto yet another road at high speed. That doesn't mean I'm glorifying this dude... He's a reckless idiot. Its just unfortunate that he chooses to employ good driving skills for thievery. Sure won't be getting much chance to do that fancy kind of driving in prison.

WHOA! Reminded me of "Smoky and the Bandit!" He absolutely would have made a top-notch rum-runner, though!

I wouldn't be suprised if people do it just to get on TV and impress their friends.

I've often wondered why thieves don't steal a MINI and play cops and robbers with the cops! Then instead of going on the freeway, take it to the twisties and see how long they can keep up.
......I mean - stealing's not right....

Yeah - the 205 speeding ticket was all over the paper and news the other night. I would have liked to see what that looked like from the plane. The pilot said he did the quarter mile in something like 4.5 seconds...?

I've seen that before, my favorite part is the people in the newsroom that you can hear laughing after the second spin.
