CHP Pursuit Ends bad

[Grant_Norris]

July 10, 2012 - Southern California Police Pursuit

In my opinion CHP preformed that P.I.T at a bad time. It was a bad time to because there was head on traffic coming from the opposite lane. Yet no one got hurt, still was a risky move.

Do they often show live pursuits in TV for people's entertainment in US, hell it's even better than an action packed movie starring Clint Eastwood

This is what Russians call 'funniest police videos'.
A clip of 17 minutes from a pursuit that seems to have lasted several hours. 

Now before someone comes with h8ter comments.... Russia has made a reality game where someone had to steal a wired car and get it on a train without being caught. Police were NOT acting, it were actual and real cops who caught the people. In average everyone was caught within 5 minutes. The winner took 27 minutes to reach the train, and used equipment worth more than the prize to  win, by that time the Special Forces were already alerted.

So these live cllips are even hardly believed to be real in Russia.

I respect the Russians for their attitude on crime, hell, the Russians are bad ass when it comes to preventing piracy. I heard instead of capturing a ship back from pirates, they just snuck on in the night, rescued the hostages then blew the ship up with all the pirate son board. Now THAT is dealing with a problem  :cool:

And to cross-post... gun ownership is not free in Russia, although there are many members of "hunting clubs"

I wish there was live persuit videos like this in the UK, unforntunatly theres never really any persuits, and when there is police end in within minutes so that by the time any news crews get there, theres nothing to see. Cops Uncut FTW anyway.

I dont remember the news crew sin the UK using helicopters as much as they do here. I mean they have them but they dont fly them all the time looking for news. Maybe thats changed since I left, I dont know.

Of course they have helicopters, just police persuits arnt that big for companies like BBC News and similar, I guess if they ever came across a persuit, they may film it, but wouldn't go to one directly. :roll:

Is that an F 150?

It's either a F-150 or F-250, yes.

@The original topic poster's comment: This is actually a standard procedure. Normally officers wait for a clean opening, and at the time they likely considered it to be the best time to do it since the streets were fairly congested nearby, rather than risk him slamming into multiple vehicles.
