Biker on 400

[Tech5]

You know the irony between the cops think there chargers are fast is quite humorous. You want to know why, The Cop chargers weight on avg above 1000lbs over the stock Charger. And the only mod they have is a chip tune. So it really slower than a stock charger. Which is pretty fucking slow. Another think cops only take a 3 day drving course according to motor trend which is no where near the instruction cailbare of one pro track day. Personally I think America need to revalute there law enforcement. Frist off Your giving somebody without a college education more power then leaders of our country. Then you your giving them a 3 day driver course and expect them to have better judgement then our people on the road. Come on give me a fuckin break.

fast we are not racing 1/4 miles times, they can hit 160-170 mph so as long as they can see you they can catch you

I owned a charger R/T with lots of upgrades an they can run !
85+ they are sick

[Grimm Reeper]

Its not the helicopter your trying to run from Its that camara that ZOOMS in 5 miles with ease that catchs chase you down until you give up!

They can just tell everyone where your going an plan blocks, etc until they catch you

Man you already know to head to ATL

they should back of, and put a chopper on him. Not only the biker trying outrun the cops and risking his own life, but at the same time putting others are very high risk.

May be stay hot on his tail if it's late hours of nite and no-to very light traffic. Makes no sense on a busy afternoon.

Why does it make more sense when it's late hours? Police should never, EVER pursue in that manner under ANY conditions. The problem lately has been that the police pursue for things that aren't even worth pursuing over. For example, drunk driving tickets. Wow, what a bright idea, stop someone for drunk driving then pursue them for 10 minutes at high speeds. Why not just radio back the tag number and follow them at a distance to see where they go and pray you don't end up finding them plowed into someone else. Chasing at high speeds just gets people killed over and over again. Makes me want to vomit every time I meet a cop who insists on telling me why it's a good idea for the police to even have V8's. Or V6's. Or Automatics. Why they don't get four-cylinder diesel sipper manuals is beyond me. A car similar to a diesel Jetta could do everything the police needed and then some, and be quick enough to pursue if god forbid some kind of Brian Nichols incident were to happen. Ironically, even when that shit does happen the system is so flawed lately that criminal justice is a joke.


Edit: And while a police charger might ~in theory~ be able to hit 160/170 or be able to do that on a wide open straight track, no cop I've ever met would be able to handle that car at those speeds on any road with any imperfections, twists and turns or traffic. Not a car that sized with the shitty heavy-duty long-life tires they put on there. Get real.

You're kidding right? Hail yeah, if conditions exist, the cops SHOULD chase down someone until they either stop or crash into someTHING and maybe extinguish themselves. Who cares about the offender? Later, QD.

Who cares about the people on 400 that day just driving to finish Christmas shopping so they could go home to their families? Damn dude.

Hey, idiot. Re-read my post and see if you can spot the couple of key words I purposely included to make my statement stand more firm than a 19 year old virgin in a brothel. Later, QD.

I agree, they can't just not chase anyone going over 100mph. If that was the case everyone on a bike would just run over 100 on the interstate all the time. I doubt the Charger was actually pursuing the evading motorcycles, more like following to pick up the remaining pieces. Most of the time the motorcyclist is going to crash out anyways. It most instances the crashing bike only takes its self out. Hell my bike will only run 120, but Chargers can't go off road very well

I read your post QD, and I'd LOVE to agree with you. I'm NOT a big fan of the idea of people being able to evade the police. The problem comes from the fact that police officers are as human as we are, and could MISjudge conditions. This leads to pursuits where the conditions ARE dangerous and INNOCENT people endangered (Hurt, often killed, what you don't see on 'Cops') all because of a cowboy cop who starts chasing after someone flees from a 10 over ticket. They already have the liscense plate, they know the general area, and have full rights now that someone's evaded to get a search warrant of the person's home. There's 100% better ways to deal with the situation than high speed chases using these ridiculous gas-hogging smog-emitting emissions-exempt hunk of domestic crap. A turbo-diesel Jetta will easily get up to the speeds of most pursuits and allow a cop to reach a scene VERY quickly. It's also at least as stable at high speeds than the significantly heavier crown vic and charger are.

Do I think a zero-pursuit policy is a PERFECT solution? No, but it CERTAINLY endangers far less people than the current ones. There's some psychotic idea here when it comes to Japan that people do whatever they want and get away with it because the police can't pursue. No. The police stop pursuit and head to where you live and tell your neighbors. Your neighbors are then going to call up the local police officer (Who they know because he drops by usually once a week to chat) and tell them they saw you. Bam, cop shows up at your house to have a few words with you. As far as enforcement on the streets, they have a very different perception than we do. Wait until you're found at-fault for causing an accident with injuries in Japan. You think that's a big deal here, you haven't seen anything yet. You simply cannot compare two totally alien and seperate cultures, so let's simply leave Japan out of this and talk about AMERICA, AMERICAN COPS, AMERICAN LAW, and AMERICAN DRIVERS if we're going to have any kind of USEFUL conversation at all.

Otherwise feel free to continue with the regular business of the Lounge.
