Rules
The biker has obvious skill - misused, unfortunately - but the passenger has it too and if that wasn't the case the chase would have ended quickly and with horrible consequences.
But chases like these are dangerous, especially for bystanders. Any car driver could had panicked and swerve the wrong way and ram any of the bikes, other cars or pedestrians.
Whew! I need some cocaine just to calm down after that!
Holy crap! That was exciting. Way better than Hollywood. Not that I condone this or anything but I was kind of disappointed they didn't get away. The way they slowed it down for the close calls. Very compelling.
This feels like straight out of GTA
I have to wonder what these people did to warrant such a dangerous chase.
I saw reporting that they did nothing, the guy got spooked and ran even though he had a valid license and registration. He would’ve been let go, except he caused a chase.
That is stupid as shit. Could've killed someone over nothing.
The problem is, you don't often find out why they're running until you catch them. He could have been wanted for murder for all we know.
Is it worth nearly killing several people to catch someone who's done "something"?
In many countries this is considered to be irresponsible on the police's part. Society isn't an 80s American cop show.
This is some great fuckin content
If this guy posted nothing but that video on his tinder profile, he'd have women lining up to date him.
You mean the cop, or the guy trying his hardest to kill his passenger?
The guy trying to kill his passenger.
I'm willing to bet 80% of women on tinder want to be his passenger.
This does NOT mean I think 80% of women want that...only the women on Tinder.
This is a perfect example for why the UK stopped allowing motorbike police chases. Because whatever crime they've committed, it doesn't justify putting the lives of every other road user and pedestrian at risk. And as another commenter stated the cop was likely doing it for the lulz (and adrenaline rush) as much as the chased.
Ontario stopped chasing motorcycles. We now have unlicensed, uninsured cunts going >200km/hr weaving through traffic. Only a matter of time before they kill themselves. Ontario also has multiple race tracks these assholes will never show up to.
Probably anyone doing that wasn't so worried about police motorcycles chasing them in the first place.
Are there anti-motorcycle measures they could install, like special speedbumps or bollards or something? It'd probably be much more effective than cyclecops.

I feel like we made a safe choice, here.
Most countries are the same. Typically in the US they just let them go and pick them up later if it turns into a chase situation. You have their license plate information, if they moved somewhere else they know who/where they are. So why risk everyonesv lives.
The overlap between bikers who run from police and bikers who have a legitimate plate is near nonexistent
Roadrash.
Happy days.
I played that for months nonstop.
Omg I miss that game!
Took 20 minutes to see 1:30min of video, The lemmy is really not adapted to video, now I am pissed and feel like I missed out even if it's totally not important. I am starting to hate tech sooooo much !
are you using a VPN? the video is from catbox.moe, sometimes they block VPNs
Worked great on voyager app
I am using Voyager. It seems to work well now. I am using the same home wifi connection with nothing else. Might have been a server/route issue since everything else was working normally. I even speed tested earlier and everything was showing normal. But I seem to see it often with videos hosted on lemmy servers.
That sounds odd. It loaded without issue for me on mobile and on my desktop.
Some pretty impressive riding overall. Especially with a pillion and that small bike.
Yeah sure is.
I remember in that Senna documentary he talks about feeling "close to god" when he's locked in. This video looks something like that.
Like all the work has been offloaded to the GPU which is calculating velocity and trajectory and reacting to other objects. The CPU is just along for the ride.
All things considered that was a better outcome than I expected.
Incredibile skills on both riders. Introduce these people to Carlo Pernat!
