That video is sad but I guess thats what happens when you try to act like a badass in front of police, once you stop respecting them, it pretty much goes the other way too.

 

We're gonna use simply math to get this across. No need to grab the calculator or untie the shoes.

Speeding = 1
Speeding and running from the cop when he tries to pull you over = 1 + 1
Speeding and running and the cops beginning pursuit = 1 + 1 + 1

See while we may be riding above the speed limit, which is irresponsible, that's all we're doing. And our focus is still on riding and the traffic around us. That's a 1

Now while you may be riding above the speed limit, which is irresponsible, when you go to evade your primary focus is no longer the traffic around you. It's escaping that a$$ whupping you just earned yourself. Here's the tricky math part: 1 + 1 = 2, which is more than just 1.

Now that you were riding above the speed limit and have now begun to attempt evading the cops, which we have established is greater than just riding above the limits, the cops now begin pursuit. Another vehicle whose primary focus is no longer simply riding along the road is added to the mix. More math: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, which is more than just 1.

There are members of law enforcement and judicial courts here among the normal every day Joes. We all know our flaws. Not a single one will attempt to justify running. No scare tactic, a single example of an officer's mistake (or stupidity), is going to justify it. Because as simple math shows, when you attempt to evade you compound your irresponsible actions and increase risks to others.

Drop it

 

it doesn't matter what someone is doing when they're stopped by police, whether it's a traffic stop or otherwise there is a potential for someones actions to be misinterpretted and something similar to that could occur

it's just far more likely to happen if you've committed a felony

how about this, speeding is illegal. i'm sure almost all of us have done it whether intentional or not. man up and stop. i'd rather get a peice of paper than go to prison or kill myself or someone else.

even if you've "slipped away" that doesn't mean that no one was put in harms way. i'm sure the cop that possibly chased after you ran the speed limit the entire time

 

Drop it yourself. I'm not the one who came on here saying that they always do the responsible thing. If you exceed the speed limit you are not doing the responsible thing. If you ride your bike on a public road with a defective piece of safety equipment you are not doing the the responsible thing.

Shall I continue? No, I'm merely pointing out the flawed logic of some individuals on here who are on their high horse about this claiming they always do the responsible thing.

Drop it.

 

OK enough
