Police chase in Takapuna - 30/12/2009

[FJRider]

they wouldn't have options in the first place if he didn't give them to 'em

The funny part is ... they had fewer options when he started running.

The more serious ones ...

Now all bikes fitting that decription ... may be stopped and questioned ...

I'm sure those with bikes fitting that decription will thank him and say ... well done ...

Differing reasons for seize and impounding of vehicle.

No point in only impounding for 7-days to 'preserve evidence' for failing to stop when you can impound for the 28-days for the same offence... unless there are no search powers under the 28-day impound... hmmm

Don't you mean before they started running? No? That's messed up

At 8:40 in the morning I suppose there is a reasonable chance to lose the chasing Police in rush hour traffic.

There's always a reasonable chance of succeeding with a runner anywhere in town at any time. The sole advantage of a motorcycle is its acceleration. The more slowing down and speeding up required, the more distance you'll put between yourself and the Commodes.

Any maze of twisty little suburban streets all alike, assuming you have a nearby sanctuary you're heading for, is about the best place possible to do a runner.

Running from the cops for fun and profit isn't about riding at race pace. It's about cornering with care and then WOTing it every time you have a bit of clear road in front of you.

bikes cant hurt people dumbass only cars,

Surely no normal person could be that thick? are you University educated?

[ynot slow]

And funny thing is,we have kids who can't read or write,but somehow know if they attempt a runner the cops will give up the chase especially in built up areas due to public safety.

Probably the same kids that think a cop can't give them a ticket unless he's wearing his hat - urban myths abound among the great unwashed, the belief that by going over 150kph will get the chase called off is another one.

Sometimes the pursuit get pulled, sometimes it's not - all depends on circumstances...

I didn't know that was allowed on the North Shore?

BUT it's holiday time!

Pretty silly really.

Even if it was busy still hard when the cop station is withing spitting distance.

As you know with Lake Road it is easier to slip down a side road when out of site etc....if the guy was heading to Milford he would have had fewer options

Ohh, another uban legend. I can hardly wait for this bit of wisdom.

Ok I'll tell - the cops will stop a pursuit if you're insane because obviously your unpredictable and therefore dangerous. So show that you are nuts by doing something like pull down your pants and lay a large turd on the pillion seat.

If for some reason old bill doesn't follow the rules and finally stops you, you can throw the turd at him and run like a bastard while he's chundering and spitting out bits of peanut.

It's all true, my mate who's a cop told me.

Well said. I would have just mentioned that it is procedure to abandon pursuits when it is making the runner put the public in danger, but throwing some bandits of your own will at least give you an insanity route when you are caught
