I want to seem to think the cop car might be a security vehicle and it is friends with the one driving the rc car. cause i do not know of a car with that much range so he had to be behind the "cop" car or in it.. Awesome video tho very very great imagination... Well put together video enjoyed it so much watched it twice.. haha
@@timothym33 of you are worried about range. There are systems out there that reach over 2km for RC vehicles and with a bit of height and some better transmitters receivers it should be easy to go far beyond that
Let me get this straight. When you realised that was an area of low reception you did a 360 and drove further into the area of low reception? What did you expect would happen?
Yeah when you have forever to think of all the best options.. he just recovered his reception and narrowly escaped the officers hands, however ideally he should have (maybe) went the other way.
@@SorryIAteYourCookiesSanta I get that people don’t make the best decisions when under pressure but come on. He LITERALLY did a 360 and drove further into the low reception area. That was such a brain dead move that being under pressure doesn’t excuse it
Man that made me laugh! i'm into FPV quads/rc cars/planes/helis and boats and have never seen a video like this! Those cops treated this like a real car chase...i was waiting for the pit maneuver! lol. U are crazy! Please use longer range next time or turn around...had to sub and thumbs up for this work of art....
Yo you're a legend, now this is the real evolution of the Home Alone RC car! Imagine of they just straight up ran over it lol. Can't believe they were so serious about it haha, definitely following your channel.
I'm a retired cop and that is hilarious. I've been in the rc hobby since the early 80s when I was in the Air Force. I should have pranked a rookie, never cross my mind until I saw this. I'll buy the doughnuts next time, put one in the bed of the truck. Better yet, run it through the district parking lot at shift change cover in doughnuts, I may have to do this myself, freaking hilarious, good one👍 I'll subscribe to your channel now.
@@Tonk-dp3ic gearing and motor windings play a huge part on that too though. My nitro will go faster than a lipo brushless one if the lipo is only running 2S and/or with a high number of windings. My nitro is only a .21 block too.
There's an dirty harry movie called "Deadpool" where this guy drives his RC cars around with a bomb strapped to it. The killer drives it under cars, and blows it up. Of course it's a movie, but from the cop's point of view, you have no idea if something lethal is strapped to it, of it's just a prank.
Solving real crimes takes time and effort. Patrolling the streets and harassing people for driving around with busted licence plate light is way easier and more profitable
We have no idea what the cop is thinking. Usually any pr problem is ignorant public perception on matters they don't and/or refuse to understand. You can thank social media and sheep for the cancerous mindset people have today.
@@InTheZone85 but that's the very definition of PR... They can continue to fight against it or they can try to assuage the public. Fighting the public (especially the younger generation that is the largest critic) is a losing battle. These same "Libtards" many people refer to them as, will be the very same lawyers, judges, politicians, and etc that will promptly slash their budgets when they come of age. Then what? Just fix the perception instead of digging in. So much easier.
@@3dPrintingMillennial while I agree that the police could do a better job of PR that's kinda hard to do when your budget is already being slashed. When it comes to buying bullet proof vests and other needed supplies vs investing in good PR it's a hard decision to make. Also, changing PR right now will be extremely difficult because people especially younger generation tend to not be able to accept a different viewpoint or have a reasoned discussion. The echo chamber of social media has conditioned them to be extremely suspicious or downright hostile of anything a cop or his PR will say. It's become a self fulfilling prophecy perpetuated by a biased media.
I'm retired police and been flying rc for many years. This was funny as h""". Me, I would've had fun "chasing it". Had a young man race my patrol car down hwy access rd with a 70 inch Corsair. I got spanked.
Dont know this occurred, but I imagine something along the line of reckless conduct. Imagine being on the road at nite, something fast and small zips around in front of you. Lots of wrecks caused by drivers trying to avoid animals. Totality of circumstances involved, I would have handled it as I described earlier.
Aside from obvious risks involved when doing literally ANYTHING like stunts such as this rc dude, I can imagine after a typical or hectic work week trying to "keep the peace" with a bunch of mouth breathers, chasing a strange RC car would be a God send for entertainment. Now adays though, with the types of atmospheres in certain areas of the country, this could be a means of lure or bait.
imagine the cop reporting back to dispatch of his situation: "I'm currently in a hot pursuit" "car and plate number?" "Its an RC car and it has no plates but its zooming around at 15 kmph on the highway"
Yea..... something does seem off about not wanting to turn around to escape 🤔 also how did they know it was him? Did he go to the station and ask for the car back? Or turn himself in? I'm not trying to insinuate too much .... just have a couple of questions about his reasoning behind his decisions.
I’m curious as to what laws broken. I’m on aware of it being illegal to drive RC cars on the road here in the US. But then again there are many hidden laws that the government likes to make so they can charge you whenever they want.
I worked in law enforcement as a dispatcher. Seeing the stuff people were charged with, other than the usual, blew my mind. Especially traffic stops. Over the most pointless stuff! Also, the cops i delt with were kind of dirty... i understand blackout mode, but don be drivong down streets at idle with no lights on at night. I called my officers out for thats stuff.
@@kensuyagami3492 there are no real "unusual" things people were arrested over. It was just pointless stuff a simple ticket can justify. No license, no insurance, possession of drug paraphernalia (weed grinders, crack pipes, bongs, baggies, needles etc). The only "unusual" traffic stop was of for a person on a bicycle with no lights at night and failure to yield at a stop sign. I questioned the officers sanity to which his response was "known drug runner". I called BS as their record was clean on locals. The only thing i didnt run was a criminal history record as there is no reason till an arrest is made.
Brandon Caldwell police actions and ethics are worth a good damn look At nowadays. I believe police discretion is too wide of a scope. You break the law. Ticket. You don’t. No ticket. It might as well be black and white. As soon as you give a little bit of leeway, cops feel this power in their hands and it goes to their head. Anyone I’m sure would feel the same way. Complaints don’t matter. No consequences. All this is a recipe for disaster. I prefer true community policing and interaction. We’ve caught some of the worst serial killers when we all worked together. Then again the police seem to only want that kind of help when people are dieing by a single person.
Risk killing people with a high speed chase just to pull over an rc car. Makes sense to me. Worst thing that could happen with the rc being on the highway is, it gets run over by another car.
I chime in. About 10 years ago some guys from a local hobby shop took on of those Traxxas 100mph cars out on rt 83 in Elmhurst north of rt 64 after 9pm. Cop was running radar in a hotel parking lot and clocked it at 90+, was like wtf. Caught the guys doing it as they were not trying to hide, he told them to keep it off the highway, no matter how cool it was.
That rc is not made to drive on the freeway with real cars. That cop saved some lives that night by taking that rc car. A person that does things as such as this... doesn't have respect for drivers on the freeway.
Could you use a drone as a platform to relay the signal? like a repeater... then you could really boost the range... just a thought Or switch to 900mhz crossfire at 2 watts...
@@ur_pilot_4_2day82 What is you used drones with relay capability that are not made to fly and chase but hop from point to point, to give a daisy chain of high LOS coverage?
EL Valenin there will be virtually 0 latency with 5G, so much in fact that a surgeon half way across the world will be able to operate on a person remotely via robotics. This will change everything.
Boss of the precinct: "Why did you race across half of the village and speedway?!?" "We pursued a racing car." "How fast did it go?" "''bout 60mph?" "Ok, where's the guy who drove it?" "He wasn't there." "What you mean 'he wasn't there' - did he flee from the roadside?" "No, there was no one in the car." "No one in the car? Some ghost car?" "No." "One of these new robot autonomous car?" "No. Not, that we know." "So what model and brand was it?!?" "Dunno exactly. Carson, Tamiya, Traxxas, Kyosho, ... they all look alike. Some stadion racer truck." "Wait wait wait ... you telling me, you followed a RC toy car across town?!?" "Well, yes." "So where is it then?" "We cuffed it and locked it in a cat transport box, over there in cell 3." **headbang**
I was driving my rc car in a parking lot with blue lights flashing and the police drove by and thought it was police in pursuit chasing someone and they called for back up..! Once the police saw it was a TOY, they asked if i had a drivers license and if it was a gas TOY because of the blue lights could be mistaken for a official police vehicle on a private parking lot. The police had me pull the vehicle up and shut it off, they inspected the tires for wear, the blue lights (which were from amazon) and asked me if i needed any help driving it in the parking lot. SO i said yes, and the cops took half hour break making sure my toy was safe for use. No citation was written.
Lmfao. Thats awesome. The other week, I noticed a cop sitting in a parking lot trying to bust people. If figured it was time to play with him. I installed a set of rc police light that can change its flash sequence and plugged it into a spare channel. I then tossed the car outside and positioned the rc about 200 ft and lit up the flashers to warn people. I'm sure it pissed the cop off, he started circling around the parking lot looking for who was controlling the rc lmao.
