Busted.😱😱😱
No, they just backed off like fine community service representatives. “Can I get you some milk with that tea, Mr. Criminal?”
Totally. Would’ve been better if they had kept chasing til they crashed into some innocent family killing everyone. Better that than let someone get away that had some weed in their car. Good thinking
Near Weitchpec, or pursued by Weitchpec?
Just checking😊
I read where something like 60% of high speed chases end in a wreck with injuries. The percentage of drivers in these chases that have committed a serious crime is less than 10%.
Good judgement and congratulations to the CHP for backing off. The tweaker at the wheel with 4 pounds of reefer and an “outfit” isn`t exactly a dangerous criminal and he`ll get caught soon.
It may be you, your spouse or child who is entrained in the wreck with injury if this chase continues.
Injury or death. My friend’s mom was killed by police in exactly this manner.
I’m sure it’s a hard call.
The shame is when they
Get away twice
They’ll get away twice
So what’s the point
Let em go lock em up
Law ride
Great song.
A truck on 96 went into the river up there today and landed in the river on its roof. It was on ch. 3 news. Probably the same vehicle, I would assume..
Several hours between them.
An example of why Law Enforcement needs all weather helicopters to compliment the BearCat.
A Comanche helicopter could have ended the chase fast and safely.
Glad they got away wish more law enforcement crashed during these pursuits. Hope the bearcat crashes next!!!!
Satan, is that you? How’d you get out of the White House.
So the message they are sending is” just go over 80-90 or switch into an oncoming lane and we will let you go” seems to be encouraging the criminals to do just that, it’s how all their buddy’s have been getting away so why not. Obviously if they are willing to risk their life to get away that should tell the police that there’s a real good reason to catch them, people don’t run for no reason
They do if they are stupid!
