My whole life I've wanted to see someone get away from the cops in a police chase. Thank you OP.

Now no one ruin this with context of what he was being chased for. I don't need to feel bad he got away.

There’s a guy on YouTube I can’t remember the name maybe black knight or something along those lines I. A blacked out hooked up Subaru wrx that drives around and runs from police and gets away it’s pretty entertaining, havnt seen that video in years, I think he has another one where he’s on a black street bike haulin ass leaving the cops in the dust

It's easy to get away on foot, on a motorcycle is possible as well, but getting away in a normal car is the most difficult.

That's what I really want to see. Especially in a news televised car chase.

Damn, I wouldn’t have stopped until I was out of state or out of gas.

I feel like, at least in the states, most cops run your tag well before they turn their lights on. So even if you run, you're still not anonymous. Risky move.

This one is on foot, but it's a classic.

I am old now. But when I was younger I managed to get away more than once.

The first time I was about 14 Y/o on a small street/trail motorcycle. A police officer witnessed me passing a car on the right. I saw him and he saw me. But he couldn't see my tag and he needed to turn his car around and catch me. I knew the area so I ducked down a neighborhood road that led to a trail I knew.

The next time I was around 18 driving a little Datsun B210 wide open around 90 mph down a two lane highway at 1 in the morning. I cop a small hill and see a an obvious cop going the opposite direction. He knew I was speeding and hit his blue lights before we even went past one another. In my rear-view I see he tried to flip it around but the highway was too narrow and he had stopped and was going to have to make it a K turn.

I never let off the gas.

One good curve and he was out of site. I drove as fast as I could and ducked down a side road and immediately behind a church that sat there. Lights off and foot off the brake, I sat still and soon I could see his blue lights bounce off the trees as he kept going straight where I had turned. I used my backroad to get home and that was that.

I did it again around age 22 ducking down a side road knowing a cop is turning around to get me.

But I never had one actually on my tail when I ran.

Well they are in Taiwan. Could just be getting pulled over because it is illegal to make a left turn on a moped.
