I'm sure we've talked about it before. Oh well. But here's a video of small town cops lying in wait and ambushing a couple kids on a RZR.
Well unfortunately seems like a police car was no match for a polaris rzr. |

I had a dirt bike when I was young and taunted cops. They gave chase, I hit woods, they couldn't drive a car in the woods. It was fun.

Note to self, when the Po-Po is after your ass, don't play in his playground, hit the dirt.

This is sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane! |

Chasing a couple helmetless kids on and off road and in a vehicle not equipped with airbags. What could possibly go wrong?

Is that PA because it sure reminds me of PA. Off to check the description...

Would have been better if the kids could have doubled back and stolen the cop car.

I don't know the whole story here... did they just commit armed robbery or perhaps kill someone? By all means give chase. Otherwise the cop is an idiot going after people not causing any harm.

Yeah, sort of dumb to chase kids on a joyride. If you can get them to stop within a few miles, great. If not, pitting them and possibly killing them for a joyride is just stupid. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Didn't think a cop car could go half those places. Cop was doing pretty well until that log.

Is there more to the story? Like the kids nearly running people off the road or something?
|
|
lol, I can't believe that idiot drove into the woods and then got out and tried to chase them on foot. Respect my authoritah!

Cop should have followed them with lights off then lit them up when they got home.

View Quote Said trails were city owned vacant property slated to be sold off for development, There were exits from the trails into 3 different towns, each in different jurisdictions. Even the "offroad patrol" (dodge 4x4 with old street tires on it) was no match for Eventually they caught us (after a solid year or two of trying). They snuck up on us having a bonfire out there one night. Everybody was casual about it. Still caught a trespassing cite but they made us pour our beers out, put the fire out and leave. They knew damn well it was "Say, is that your truck over there? It looks like one we have chased around here for a long time" "Nope, must have been some other kids, I don't come out there, that would be against the law" "Uh huh... Well whoever it is sure knows how to drive and knows their way around here". But tearing up a $40,000 cop car and risking those kid's lives over what? Some VC violations, maybe tresspassing? That is just stupid IMO. Unless the UTV was stolen, they had knocked over a liquor store or they were known dirtbags. All risk, no reward. I wonder if the kids got away clean? |

Reminds me of my younger years.
Most of the cops in the small town I was in knew well who they were chasing. I have had them pull me aside a day or two later and give me the "you don't think I know that was you? You had better hope I don't catch you!" speech. Until a newb deputy rammed my buddy on his Honda 250R, How my buddy kept that thing upright and kept going I will never know. It was just a night of goofing around and he ran from the rookie and took him through an alley and doubled back on the street, The deputy hit him square broadside with a solid bump sliding that 250 sideways and up on two wheels at probably 60 MPH. He righted it and kept going, I errm, went the other way outta town and met up with my buddy later. Upon speaking with a friend who was also a deputy during a drinking session, I learned the other deputies were none too nice to rookie about that. Our kids will never experience that nowadays. Everything is so damn serious now. I was rooting for the kids in that video. LOL |

Sherrif got after us on the highway one night so we turned down the gravel road that went to the cotton gin. Jumped over the tracks and hit the rows of a cotton field before they planted, 90 degrees to the rows. We were running about 60 across the field, sheriff was lost long before he made it to the other side. Good times! |

That was funny. The kids were toying with him because they could have hit the woods at any time. My old RZR 800 could break 55 MPH, not sure how fast the newer 1000's go.
|
|
Funny thing, leaving the car 100% out of the equation and just listening to where they went and parked probably would have worked better.
|
|
Not sure why they were willing to kill those kids but I thought they kept up quite well.
|
|
from that videos perspective it makes that RZR seem rather slow.
