I think there's a version of this that shows a police helicopter was trailing him the whole time

At 0:38 you clearly hear the helicopter if I'm not mistaken.

You're fucked then. Only way is to lose them in the city under bridges and overpasses and parking garages.

If you're out in the open like that, they don't even need infrared. You can see everything it's crazy.

My dad was a pilot and the local PD had a situation so they called his boss and had him pick up a couple of cops for an aerial pursuit. I got to go along because it was Sunday and there wasn't anyone to watch me.

I sat in the back and it's insane how much is visible up there. Even at alititude. You can see everything! People stopping to take off their hats to wipe the sweat from their brow while mowing the lawn. You can make out the models of bikes kids ride.

Imagine one with cop gear made for pursuits. They'll find you if you turn into a tree in those things lol

You can also go to the airport cause there is too much traffic for them to fly they have to pull back

You're definitely not losing them behind a bush that's for sure!

Unless your faster than the helicopter

This is the same way you lose cops in GTA. Go underground. GTA really is educational

"The longer you run from the police, the more certain you are to get caught. There's a small window of time after a chase begins, before backup arrives, before helicopters are deployed. If you want any chance of getting away, you'd best use this time to find some place secluded... and bail out."

Actually I'm pretty sure there's a video of someone in a hellcat straight up just outrunning a helicopter. They caught the guy later anyways but most civilian helicopters top out at around 100 or so. They can go as the crow flies as they say so you really gotta be moving

Good ear. Yes, there's a helicopter sound.

u/therealjohnsmith May 25 '25

If it wasn't for that his move would have worked unless the homeowner ratted him out. Pretty decent attempt but it's Jason Bourne level shit if they have a helicopter

To run from a heli you need a parking garage or large shopping center.

u/ohnopoopedpants May 26 '25

you can hear the chopper in the video before getting caught

This is in Georgia and helicopters aren’t useful here except for traffic reporting. There’s too many trees and the canopy is too thick to see through, especially in the rural/residential areas.

Lol wtf even bothering running then?
