Motorcycle chase

[IScream]

Until seeing that I kept thinking "sure, accidentally bumped him". That guy shouldn't have been riding, much less running...

[Can busa]

i'm with Iscream,, us bikers ....we are the big bad. If a high speed pursuit takes us out (and others with us)well after all were just bikers at least the drug dealers keep the money in the community.......

if my family is on the road the dude is running on.. i say he decided to play the game.. it is now time to pay the price.

would make you think alot harder about running if you knew they were gonna bump ya wouldn't it?

Yea, I'd make sure I never dipped below 150 knowing that they are going to try to kill me with the cruiser when they get the chance.  

I'm hoping my family isnt on the road when rice #### looses control of the squad car (which he almost did on camera, then admits he was going to fast to stop before hitting the bike) and plows into them.

 I gotta disagree with ya here they had the plate and by that time had the rundown on the guy. If he wasnt an axe murder they could have just picked him up later instead of passing innocent bystanders on the right and almost loosing control. Granted if he just killed someone I'm all for shooting him as he goes by but he was wanted for Speeding???

Again, Its a whole other story if the guy is a violent criminal, but chasing the speeder through "3 counties" and keeping him at high speeds(well apparently the rider must have thought they were high speeds) seems pretty stupid when the guy would probably have slowed down if he wasnt being chased.

Is the revenue that important, that a cop chases a bike for 3 counties.

Must have nvr been to hick town NC.

I saw that news clip on T.V. news here in Maryland.They reported that the guy also had drugs on him when he was caught so it looks like a 9RR was the right color after all.....you might beat the PO-PO 1 or 2 times but you can't beat them all the time.That darn Motorola is a mugga.

 How can anyone think it makes sense to protect the public by placing them in greater danger through your own actions?

I am in total agreeance there. The guy was wanted for nothing but speeding and they had the whole enchilada on him. They could have EASILY just put out a warrant on him and cut a lot of risk factor down. This seems to me like a cop on a ego trip that got a major hard on because the guy wasn't respecting his authority enough to stop. I mean he plain as day almost lost control of his car trying to catch this guy. If I had been sitting there in traffic and that cop HAD lost control and hit my car over some dumb shid like that you better believe I woulda been SCREAMING lawsuit.

[gm1300]

the cop driving in the video is more of a danger to society than the bike he was chasing ! PERIOD

what if he would have hit one of those cars he was passing and killed a baby and a few little kids ?

with judjement like that he shouldnt even be a cop , sweeping up $hit at the zoo would be a good job for him

that was a slow chase. I know that was no Busa, it was a Honda CBR I think, but he could've easily blast away from that single cop car in that video clip. Seems like he wasn't even really trying. That dude gave outlaw sportbike runners a bad name. Almost as bad as that guy that rode that busa getting beat by that Viper in a roll-on video clip.

Oh yeah, this runner got a nice Dianese jacket on too! He must not be doing too bad financially to afford that. He's probably out on bail now considering that. Probably some smuck that works a white collar corporate level job. Hahhaha.

Please explain how having a license plate of a motorcycle equates to being able to "get a warrant" on someone?

Maybe I missed something, but I never saw the suspects face in any part of that video, except for after he was arrested.

If you are intimating that if an officer attempts to stop a vehicle, the vehicle flees, but the officer has a plate, that they then get a warrant for the registered owner of the vehicle. They then arrest, charge, and convict the registered owner, without being able to positively identify that owner........That is fuggen scary, at best.

With the number of misdemeanor traffic offenses and the felony charges that bike rider actually, not "alledgedly' committed on tape, do you really think he would stand a chance, or should stand a chance at bringing a lawsuit against the LEO or LE agency for damaging his bike???

It is debateable as to whether the cop hit the bike accidentally or on purpose, however, it needs to be remembered that an LEO can use REASONABLE force to end a pursuit when the suspect has shown a total disregard for other people or has displayed agressive actions. That guy clearly did that several times during the pursuit.

If that guy would have been in a car, he most likely would have been "pitted" or spiked a long time before all that.

If someone decides not to stop. It is not a matter of whther or not they respect some LEO's authority. They are commiting a Friggen Felony. For those who keep going on about how it is better to call off the pursuit and just go get the guy later, the true fact is that the majority of vehicles that are pursued are either stolen or the driver is not able to be identified and once the pursuit is discontinued, they are not caught, EVER....

It is amazing to see some of the responses here, especially the ones that are trying to blame the officers for some felons actions......

[him]

Actually i remember reading a post from an officer on here who was pursuing a bike and the license plate feel off. he then took the license plate to the guys house and arrested him. So they cant do that!?

[Busa_05]

So just how much pepper spray do they need AFTER he was in handcuffs?  He looked like he was about to pass out in the pepper shower.  He didn't look very combative too me when they sprayed him in the video.

Haha! That was a spray bottle of water. They were spraying him to help get the pepper resin out of his eyes...looks pretty sadistic though if you don't realize that's water...haha! Handcuffed and just hosing his butt with a spray bottle of pepper spray! That'll learn him! Hehe.

The sherrif really didn't seem too bright in this instance, though...let the sucker go and catch him later. Community safety was very much at stake it looked like. The chase should have ended when they started creeping up the speedo farther and farther into the three digits, and coming onto heavily populated areas. I 'spose every state is different though.

[Busa204]

"hehe,, i wonder if the po po is responsible for damages.. can't imagine they are.. never know in this society though."



In Florida it is a felony to run from the police..If you do & get caught, your bike is now their bike & they sell it (providing you don't owe money on it)... But unlike that video, most police down here will not chase like that.. They might tail behind you some ways with their lights off & see if you get caught up in traffic or at a light...

Just gotta ask yourself though, is it really worth it all? Just pull over & take the ticket.. Hell every time I've been pulled over the police are more suprised that I actually stopped & end up being nice to me & letting me go...


We are all busa owners, so I know we don't stay under the speed limit all the time...But there are times to open it up & times to show some control & slow it down....

[Glamisman]

Interesting observation to follow, no offense meant...
Rodney King was stoned and speeding, look what happened as a result.
O.J. wasnt speeding, look what happened as a result.
As Ghallager(?) would say Hmmmmmm.

[xyu]

That chase sucked. If you run from the cops prepare to face the consequences. On the other hand he's riding a sport bike for fvcks sakes!!!!! I think he's just a poor rider or he's stoned.

[eynlai]

I think he's just a poor rider or he's stoned.

How "poor" can he be? He's wearing a Dianese jacket in that video clip when they were cuffing him. If I remember correctly, a Dianese jacket alone cost almost as much as a entry level full suit from some other manufacturers like Alpinestar, Joe Rocket, Teknic, etc...

[Charlesbusa]

Dumba$$, why put other people at risk by running. If we had stiffer penalties for running from the cops, maybe less people would run....

Poor not in the pocket book sense my friend

, poor as in pi$$ poor riding skills. I don't really care what kind of jacket he has, fact of the matter is he has a bike that is very capable of eluding the police (and don't try to tell me that you can't get away from the red and blue cherries because it is very possible if you have the balls) but the driver is somewhat lacking in the skills department.

Actually i remember reading a post from an officer on here who was pursuing a bike and the license plate feel off.  he then took the license plate to the guys house and arrested him.  So they cant do that!?

In the case he posted, the LEO went directly to the Registered Owners house and the owner answered the door. The LEO said that the guy still had helmet hair.

In order to get a conviction in court, that LEO would have to provide some SUBSTANTIAL testimony indicating that the helmeted rider on the bike was the same guy who answered the door. Just having "helmet hair" would not do.

As is often the case though, an officer investigating that type of case is not so lucky. It will either wind up being a stolen vehicle, stolen plate, or a vehicle that has changed hands several times without the registration being updated.

People tend to twist the statistics by saying something like "The majority of all pursuits are for minor traffic offenses" What they don't say is "Even tough the original reason for the attempted stop was for a minor offense, the reason the offender did not stop was to avade arrest for a serious offense that the person was either commiting or wanted for."

Agencies across the country are reviewing and creating or ammending pursuit policies as we debate this. And YES there are several instances, such as the LEO knows the suspect, who is a local, etc where it is unwarranted to continue a pursuit.

If someone is pursued and caught, and has been suggested here, they run even harder the next time, would that not be good reason to legally prevent that person from ever having a license or owning a vehicle???

Why would you need THREE strikes your out for that type of crime?

I gotta agree here.
Just pull over and take your medicine.

A certain individual (who shall remain nameless) was once clocked at 135mph in a 45mph zone (it's dead straight, no traffic, about the safest place on the planet to do it).

The cop let the above individual go because the above individual immediatly pulled over.
