Man pulls over Speeding Cop
#17
What would that have acomplished if, after playing musical chairs, the guy behind him had just done the same....and gotten right back on the cop's tail again? Two can play that game. If the cop had then hit him in the rear, HE would have been at fault.

Well, we're here to discuss the chase, aren't we? Among that discussion is the possibilities of what could have happened if it had been a different cop or a different pursuer. That could (but not likely) help one of us if we ever are in a situation like that.
And, given the number of Internet hits on the video, it's already a soap opera.

I agree with mmarshall and cops should not do this kind of thing but, I lost a cousin to gunshot while she was in the line of duty. Cushy goverment job... shove that you no where!
Funny thing to see that happen though, but the guy was shaking like a girl at the end, all the while saying the cop was scared.

OT, but I wonder where most cops stand on gun control, because they are at risk daily with armed criminals (possessing both legal and illegal guns) around them?

As far as dangers, well they are present in any job. Construction workers who deal with power toos - saws, routers, hummers and high rise lift/scafford equipment. Factory workers dealing with heavy machinery. Airline pilots, stewardesses obviously have risky jobs. Cab drivers and truck drivers also have a lot of danger in their work.

No requirements/skill in order to get the job? My friend you could not have been more wrong. People say the same thing about driving an truck (18 wheeler). In my 8 years of doing that job, I have trained approx. 36 people, right out of driving school, who pretty much had the same idea and dramatically changed their minds by making them actualy do the work. Is a shame that people don't recognize just how skilled some of the most meanial looking jobs are, until they are placed in a position to do it themselves. In no way am I defending the ACTIONS of those who are already in position, b/c we both know that not everyone who is in these positions, acts like they need to be there.

I've seen cops run red lights late nights/early morning to pull into Jack-In-The-Box near my home. I really dont care though... I find Sheriffs much more pleasant than regulars cops but thats just my opinion from my own experiences.
Anyway, at the end of the video it was either FREEZING or dude's adrenaline wore off and he got scared *****less when he realized what he really just did! haha

That was exactly the right thing to do. That guy was in the right the cop was in the wrong. I have followed a Seattle Cop from Seattle to North Bend were I live. The cop was doing 75-100mph the whole way. It is a 60mph zone more than halfway and then it changes to 70mph. It took so long for me to catch the cop. I wrote his license plate number and car number down and made a formal complaint. I never heard what happened to the cop. Probably nothing. But people should start catching dumb cops. This is a great idea, I need to start carrying my video camera in the car.
