Chase

 

[Fencer]

Did you notice the very end, The cop almost took out a few cars.

Did any one catch the road sign? It looked like Tennesse?

Insane, I mean on both the rider and cops part.

No the rider isn't in the right for doing this, but the cop is definately in the wrong... Glad no one was killed, cause I thought that would be how it ended.

 

[skyway]

That looks like a ghostrider video?

 

[evil_henchman]

Looptard?? :lol: At least it had a happy ending.

 

[MotorSWATCop]

That was in Europe. Look at side of the Volvo Police car "POLIS". That's probably a Ghostrider clip as stated above.

Did any one catch the road sign? It looked like Tennesse?

Pretty sure it was Europe, but, not sure where. Volvo police cars? Perhaps Sweden?

The car license plates, long and flat, also indicate it's not the US.

But, yea, that cop sure didn't expect the brake fade or sudden stop at the end, eh?

 

[Mr Bill]

That video reminds me of the cop chase commercial on tv where the cops run up to the perps car and fix their flat and then say lets do that again. Was that cop hoping the bike would run out of gas?

A NY trooper died last year doing over 100mph on back highways chasing a squid on a sportbike. The cop was in a SUV and didn't make a corner. I think that bike rider is in jail for a long time.

 

[radman]

It is indeed from the Ghoster Series. Dude has some mad luCk and skiLz, rest assured.

If a LEO dies in a chase - doesn't the rider get charged with involuntary manslaughter?

If a LEO dies in a chase - doesn't the rider get charged with involuntary manslaughter?

Depends on the state, but he could be charged with 1st degree murder. Here in CA it would probably 2nd degree.

Biker convicted in Syracuse-area trooper death

SYRACUSE -- A 21-year-old man was convicted Wednesday of driving a motorcycle at more than 100 mph and leading a state trooper on a chase that ended with the trooper crashing into a tree and dying.

An Onondaga County Court jury deliberated 9½ hours to find James Carncross guilty of aggravated criminally negligent homicide and reckless driving in the death of Trooper Craig Todeschini.

Carncross was acquitted of aggravated second-degree manslaughter.

Judge William Walsh scheduled sentencing for Jan. 10. Carncross faces a possible sentence of five to 20 years.

The criminally negligent homicide charged required jurors to determine that Carncross failed to perceive the risk of his conduct in causing the death of a law enforcement officer. To convict Carncross of aggravated manslaughter, the jury had to find that he consciously disregarded the risk of his conduct.

Carncross showed no emotion as the jury foreman announced the verdicts. Both families sat stoically as well, following the judge's request that they refrain from any emotional outbursts in front of the jury. After jurors were dismissed, the Carncross family stood quietly consoling one another. Todeschini's widow, his parents and other family members hugged in silent celebration.

"There are no winners in this case," defense attorney Salvatore Piemonte said outside the courtroom. "The circumstances are tragic all the way around."

Todeschini, 25, of Geddes, was killed April 23 when he crashed his patrol sport utility vehicle into a tree in the hamlet of Pompey Hill as he was rounding a curve in pursuit of a sport-style motorcycle about 15 miles south of Syracuse. Todeschini was one of three state troopers to die this year in the line of duty.
