There's a video that was posted on here of someone shooting a target in the desert, right as the guy was about to pull the trigger, some kids on dirtbikes rode directly in front of the target. It was all public land but IIRC the video demonstrated that it would have been catastrophic had he pulled the trigger. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I was shooting at a range with a 200 yard length. This range was fully bermed down both sides and the end. My son and I were shooting targets at about 175, My son is just cranking out the rounds having fun. Couple other guys to our left shooting, Then we see some dumb mother fucker pull up on the rear berm with a 4 wheeler and climb off and walk down the berm into the range.

He was close enough multiple times to use a PIT maneuver to take them out.
I imagine he didn't since he didn't want to risk killing them. |

And risk hurting/killing two kids that were out for a joy ride? Sounds like LE in that area needs some serious de-funding and scaling down if that's the biggest issue the town faces.

Quoted: or people who don't want to deal with the neighborhood juvenile delinquents anymore. Some of you in the thread looking back fondly at your juvenile antics were probably neighborhood hell-raisers who were considered a PITA by your neighbors You want to have fun as juveniles? Fine. But be responsible and answer for your actions, not run away from accountability It was glorious driving 300 to 400HP cars...but the brakes were poor. The local police hated me and in retrospect I was a menace. But I never crashed or ran anyone off the road...thank God. I have broken frames from going airborne at high speed and that sucked. There is high performance and then there is chaos level. I drove full chaos and was expert at drifting in turns at very high speed. There were far fewer cars on the road then...where I live now such driving is impossibly dangerous...which sucks. You have no idea how much restraint I exercise when I drive my V6 Acura TLX...I wish I could go to 1981 with it (sinister laugh). |

I owned a L-82 4 speed gymkhana optioned 79 vette for 4 or 5 years. It had no cat and was correctly tuned plus I spiked the fuel with Tolulene.
I of course drove it like a maniac and flashed by a deputy on the way home one night at 230am...doing 85 in a 35 on a twisty road. He just ignored me. That vette was a sinister witch of a car...always whispering she was going to kill me. But she didn't. It was also the lowest quality POS I ever owned. Something broke almost every time I took her out on a mission. Thank goodness I am an excellent mechanic. Everyone should have a vette once if they are a gearhead. I drove a friends 2000 vette...it was a six speed convertible. It had the Ti exhaust and magnesium wheels. It felt like it was carved out of one block of steel it was so stiff. Yet it had a oldsmobile like GM feel. It was so fast and had such high limits I told my friend plates were optional. Epic, that car was. |

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.

Quoted: I started my juvenile antics as respectfully as I could possibly be. After years of living in this small tow...Er shithole being told by the old blood that have lived there for generations that Me and my family are not from there, dont belong there and are not welcome there. My ability to give a fuck about their feelings did begin to go away. But I still made every effort show respect to them and their property. One thing I learned in small towns as much as I like the thought of living in places with small populations is... They are full of hypocrites that never practice what the preach, business owners are protectionists that get into power positions as to bully out competition and the local yokel PD's and SD's tend to play favorites to the business owners and the "elites". I specifically remember one asshole that lived on the edge of town with a real fun pasture. Asshole told me I could ride on his property anytime I wanted. One day I did, I went out riding my dirt bike out in the pasture only to see him recording me with a camcorder. When I asked him why the camcorder? He replied...."I am going to give this to the city attorney and the sheriff". And he did. His buddy the city attorney.. An old 80 year old "ignorance of the law is no excuse" prick proceeded to give my 17 year old ass 200 hours of community service with none other than the faggot who railroaded me with a camcorder. And a 500 dollar fine. Oh and did I mention Mr camcorder was a business owner, and would not give me any work to do. In the mean time I had turned 18. After a meeting with the city attorney and a extension on my community service with again.... Mr camcorder, who then still wouldn't give me shit to do. I went to jail for 5 days to "pay" for the 200 hours of community service. I have plenty of other stories involving such small town bull shit from a couple small towns that I've lived in. I can continue for a while. Like being caught out after curfew with 25 or so other kids, about 12 managed to get away and out of the rest about 8 were kids of "someone special". Those 8 were sent home with mom and dad with no consequences. Guess what the remainder of the kids had to do? We got to go see the juvenile justice and a lot of community service for our bad deed. One thing I have learned the hard way about a lot of small communities.... Is that they tend to be full of self centered, vain, hypocritical corrupt assholes with a spattering of truly great humans. My buddies father whom was a deputy in said town took retirement as soon as he could and absolutely refused to run for Sheriff, He always loved to tell the stories of the families that were in church on Sunday and and the rest of the week their wives and husbands were sneaking around cheating on each other. Some of his stories for 30 years as a deputy in that town were fucking amusing. In fact. I think the only reason that I never went to prison is the fact that I got to know many of the deputies that were hired on later in my childhood. I live in a larger town now, I don't have those issues. I don't like living in a larger town in general. But I can ride my ATV to the store without being harassed now. In the end this video is hard to discern whether they are being chased for being trouble makers of because barney is bored.. I tend to go with my life experiences. YMMV. View Quote Not sure what the trespassing laws are in your state. Here, lots of distinctions between open fields, posted vs un-posted lands, whether someone has verbally told you to not be on their land, etc. I'm sure in retrospect there are things you could have done to mitigate what eventually happened to you. 20/20 hindsight and all of that. I live in a small village of a few hundred people now and yeah, there are a few old time families whose name goes back a long ways in the village. Thankfully none of them try to pull any of that with me. I might be new-ish to the village, but I grew up in this county. I'm no transplant. Anyways, thanks for your story. |

I wonder at what point does some town/county do some kind of cost benefit vs. potential liability/officer disability analysis?
I'm kinda wondering at this point if there are/is ANY guidelines preventing these Keystone Cops kind of antics. Is Officer Friendly really going to tear up our patrol car chasing a couple of kids around? Is Officer Friendly really going to get all involved emotionally and amped up exit his patrol car and chase these kids on foot in the dark-twisting his ankle/breaking his leg/hurting his back.....while threatening to shoot these kids like they just robbed 1st Southern Savings and Loan? After which point Officer Friendly applies for and receives a medical disability for his service that the fine taxpayers of (fitb) county pay for over the next 87 years of Officer Friendly's life as he tans on a South Florida beach. Or what happens when Officer Frendly really does rip off a couple rounds at these kids in the dark and little Sally asleep in her crib takes a 40S&W to the noggin? I seriously hope someone is asking these questions of this guy. |

Hard enough to push out ahead of the cop car and down toward the front / uncder a car just forward, I’m picturing pneumatic cannon like those t-shirt cannons, rigged up somehow along with the bumper guard. It could shoot out 6 or so skipping and bouncing along the road; only one would need to stick, the rest could just be retrieved and re-used. Something like this, but with big honking rare earth magnets on one side (big challenge would be making sure they could launch and separate without magnet problems). https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91tFoKNxA1L._SL1500_.jpg Would be fun to test, and a lot cheaper than a lot of other gear departments buy.
