What was your address again (p/t)?

What the hell sort of analogy is that? If you note the air around my last post you will notice it is thick with sarcasm, as for my address....PM me if you really want it. Ive got alot of starlings that need taking care of rather than sparrows

Have no idea what (p/t) means....piss take? payment type? prostate touchy? Enlighten me

Back on topic though, you screwed if they put up the eagle no matter how fast you are unless of course you know roads with good tree cover or you have a spare tank of gas you can load on the run. Anyone know how long the eagle can stay up for?

What about if you can get into areas that are under restricted airspace, or underground carparks?

Not that I ever would condone this.

I would definitely suggest stopping as well, and not riding without a license in the first place.

However, this is theoretical is it not? If you were in a 200km/h chase with the chopper and road vehicles in pursuit, chances are the road vehicles would be called off at those speeds in order to minimise danger to the public, and the chopper could not travel into restricted airspace, nor see you in underground carparks.

This is purely a product of my imagination, and I take no responsibility for any fool that thinks they should try it! I have no idea if this would work, nor would I ever ride in a way that this kind of arsenal would be deployed after me in the first place

Apparently it's fairly well known amongst the criminal fraternity in the London that if you're being chased, head to Heathrow airport. With a plane landing or taking off every thirty seconds, there's bugger-all chance that the Police whirly-bird will be allowed into the restricted airspace. There have been occasions that the Police have radio'd Heathrow Tower and asked for clearance to chase someone who's really really deserving of a good kicking (crimes like murder, rape, etc.) but for someone who's just taken off to avoid getting a ticket for no licence, they don't bother. The Tower asks what the person being chased is meant to have done, then make their decision based upon it.

If you went into an underground carpark you'd be fucked anyway. Gee where'd he go? How many entrances/exits has it got, cops could block off every one of them. With the eagle hovering above.

I am beyond furious!!!!!!!! that dickhead raced through Kaukapakapa at the most ridiculous speed screaming past traffic, pedestrians and the like with a patrolman in pursuit (the cop was going far slower through the town (bless his cotton undies). Riding like that was the most selfish dangerous and dumbass thing to do.

To that rider.... I hope they beat the shit out of you when you got caught. If I ever see you again - you will find out why I am called the Toaster you little asshole.

To the cops, pop in for a beer/coffee anytime you good buggers. You know who I am. Thanks for catching him.

The assumption here is that you want to keep your vehicle. But I'd wager a fair number of the Police chases involve cars that are stolen. If that's the case, the rules change.

Take the underground car-park at St Lukes, for instance. About five exits you can drive out of, plus a whole bunch more that you can walk out of. Ride bike in. Get off bike. Walk into mall. Head for toilets. Shed bikey gear. Walk out of pedestrian exit.

Of course, the cops can block off all the pedestrian exits too - but on a Saturday afternoon, I'd like to see them try to identify someone who's changed their appearance simply by taking off what he was wearing before. A cop may be able to ge an idea of ethnicit and build by looking at someone on a bike, but anything else would be difficult.
