Post So I'm watching this highway chase in LA on CNN

and I was wondering: Has anybody ever gotten away from the police in a Highway chase? It just doesn't make sense to me.

However, I like how CNN is using F1/nascar style commentary "now there will be a toll plaza coming up soon let's see what she'll do! ... oh she avoided the toll plaza using interstate XX, in a few minutes she'll have to make a choice, will she go with US-241 or will she stay on US-91?"

Now this is entertainment!

And yea, getting away from police, even in a car, happens more often than you think. Most have "do not pursue" orders unless the suspect is wanted for violent crimes.

"my friend" passed a cop at like 125mph.. the cop started taking off, he thought it was a good idea to just keep going because by the time the cop would get to that speed he would be gone,,, well yea he got away lol

They sure do, they just don't televise it.

In regards to the YouTube vid..." good news: We got your car back and caught the perp!...Bad news: It's totalled!" Mad skills on the part of the driver.

Now: Folks: You can run all you want, but you cannot outrun the RADIO. Do yourself and those around you on the road a favor: PULL OVER AND TAKE YOUR STUPIDITY LIKE A MAN/WOMAN. The life you save may be mine.
