Nope, and never will. Its just common sense not to, chances of getting away are so slim nowadays its not even possible. Just pull over and take your lumps like a man.

Oh, just a few....but not initiated by me. One of the other guys will come upon a stolen/robbery suspects/etc. and they run. The fun usually ends quicker than we'd like (which is actually a good thing).

Foot chases? Now, that's another story. I've only lost one person that ran from me......and that's because he was 5ft nothing 90lbs and squeezed through a metal (barbed wire topped) fence and an approximate 8 foot brick fence (wall). Actually, we did catch him about 3 hours later......but... (sorry for the kinda off topic there ).

You may out run the car, but you'll never out run the radio.

No I always pulled over. No need to make the bad situation worse.

actually the cop told me that if i hadnt stopped when i did, they were he was about to call in aerial support and that he should have taken me to jail for reckless endangerment but considering what all was involved decided to let me off easy.

+1 for the Valentine. My only mod.
