RE: How do you out run the cops?
I was with a bud back in high school that kind of did it successfully. We were speeding along a country road at night and passed a LOE going in the opposite direction. The LOE flipped on the lights and whipped around, my friend killed the lights and immediately turned down a resedential street , pulled into someone's driveway and shut down the car. We ducked down in the seats. This all happened in less than a minute and we didn't get caught...I think we were just lucky and I'd never do that now...but teenagers have a tendency to be stupid.

RE: How do you out run the cops?
When I rode my Ninja a thousand years ago, I did it pretty often. That is until Mr. Good Samaritan saw what was happening on the freeway behind him and forced me into the shoulder with his cage and I went down in a cloud of dust.

hehe...as a kid we used to pretty successful using dirtbikes....a dozen kids on YZs/KXs/CRs/RMs playing cat n mouse with NYPD....the car could only go after one bike at a time....lotsa fun...unless you got caught [:@]
and yes...I got nailed once...the PO broke off the silencer off and broke off the plug in the cylinder with his baton while his partner smacked me around (deservedly so)...34th Avenue and Crescent St in Astoria..then they took me home for the REAL beating....[:@]

Make lots of left turns and stay off the brakes. Most people when running tend to take right turns because they don't have to cross traffic. Most cops habitually look right and look for tail lights or brake lights. Loud pipes aren't gonna help your cause much. Your best bet is to find a place to hole up and do it quickly and quietly. Then be patient. Radios are a powerful tool. Within about 2 seconds of you deciding to run, lots of folks in blue are going to know about it. My suggestion is that if you break the law, man up to it and take your licks. It ain't worth the danger you may cause to others to run.

purely stupid to try and out run . I can't tell you how many time that I have been let off with a warning or a lessor violation for just co operating . be cool and if you do break the law take it like a man and deal with the end results .

RE: How do you out run the cops?
Way back when I was a full time LEO, we got after one, he kept turning and turning till he lost us... We kept circling around and found him parked in someones carport, lights off, laying in the seat.............................................. ...............................................
with his foot on the brake, brake lights lit up like a Christmas tree.....
The thing I would not like to be on the receiving end is the "Miranda Warning" you will most likely get, or the "screen test" in the ride to the station

RE: How do you out run the cops?
Well when I was much younger I could and did outrun them quite often.
My Dad taught me how to be fast. I even use one of his quotes in my signature .
My technique was to just make a Bee Line no fancy left or right turns for me .
Now that I'm middle age its not much fun anymore allthou I can still outrun the fat beer gutted ones .
Well actually its more like outwalk them vs outrun them .
We are talking about running to get in line at the donut shop right ?
