You are right but I think part of the problem is the accepted term "Fast Lane" rather than passing lane. Fast lane leads to the idea that is the lane to b e in if you want to go fast regardless of whether overtaking someone.
I was think the same thing, so many brain dead dumb ass people in fast lane unaware of what to do when a cop is barreling down behind them. Astounded at the stupidity in this day and age.
@@DirtySallysweetsally You're stupidly cluelessly overlooking that some of these vehicles are STOLEN and so wouldn't list who the thief is riding it during the chase. So getting the tag is useless, dummy. Wise up.
The problem with your comment is that if the police just DIDN'T chase people on motorcycles, every person looking to commit a crime would just use one. Any bit of leniency would be exploited by offenders.
Well it's already illegal to try to "pit" a motorcycle (for obvious reasons) so what you're talking about is basically a government-sanctioned getaway vehicle for anyone committing any crime. What could go wrong with that?
@@-Gorby- If only they made some kind of craft that flies through the air, one that could follow a bike as the bird flies without ramming into multiple vehicles while losing the pursuit. Or maybe we could put some code on a plate on the back of vehicles that would allow the cops to identify the driver and arrest them later. If only...
I was both a police officer and a deputy Sheriff. This cop chasing a motorcycle for over seven minutes at speeds approaching 130 mph is ridiculous and probably frowned upon by his department. He placed the lives of many innocent citizens at risk. For what, his pride being hurt because he was left behind. Maybe his department needs to school him in the use of a radio.
It is terrible it's a pride thing for sure so glad he got away it happens in Australia to with the young cop's 👮♂️ it's made young teenagers to come off their dirt bike go flying over a car sometime die at the scene 😕 terrible someone's family member gone 😢 😕 😞
Agreed but I feel like what's more reckless is how people camp the left lane... If people actually followed the laws and used the left lanes only for passing, then this chase wouldn't be dangerous at all. People just don't know how to drive nowadays...
There was no way in hell he was catching that street bike but, I get this feeling that he was on that interstate for a while chasing a bike that got off 6 exits ago. 😅
The biker is a moron with no respect for the law, himself, or his family. These are the pathetic miscreants who give the huge majority of law abiding riders a bad name.
After the first 2 minutes I never even saw a bike let alone the one he thinks he's still chasing. Legend has it the cop is still doing a buck 20 trying to catch up.
That Arkansas State trooper is more reckless than the guy he's chasing on the motorcycle for a just traffic violations. One of these days unfortunately the Arkansas State Police are really going to cause a major accident with some fatalities of innocent lives over just chasing someone for traffic violations.
@@Scotty-vs4lf yes I agree with you totally the only time I believe a high speed pit maneuver should be performed is on a violent felony criminal not just someone for traffic violations.
@@mikemission9230 yeah i understand taking the risk if the person is known to be a dangerous criminal, but if all they did (that the cop knows of) is a traffic violation then its pretty overkill
The biker should have stopped. By running he became an instant felon. All the folks saying the cop is chasing someone for a simple citation is dead wrong. The cop is chasing a felon.
What I learned in this video: If you are comfortable going over 130 mph on a bike, you will outrun the cops every time. And the police can be extremely reckless in pursuit.
Arkansas/Georgia police will chase you till their tires turn to ash and they need an oil change. So if you have a fast bike and can drive well you’re good. Just have a plan set in motion.😂
the cop being untrained and very undisciplined stole the show. yes, the biker does need to be held accountable. since we hold are authority figures to higher standers im afraid the biker got off free as a bird physically and mentally. thats how bad the choices were this dumb cop made.
@PradaBoi89 And when they one day screw you over, I don’t want to hear sht. You eat that repair bill and bend over for the piggy’s when they ask you to lick their boots.
Seriously, I watched him damn near hit several cars. Here is my thing the traffic was kinda heavy. The biker took advantage of that and smoked the cop. The trooper should have called off the pursuit after he lost sight of him. But instead, he continued with his 130 mph pursuit chasing ghost. It must not take much to become a cop cause the majority of these cops lose common sense once they put on that uniform.
Guy on the bike sped up and got off the freeway, leaving the cop to travel all the way to another state thinking he was in a world class high pursuit. Meanwhile bro was watching tv at home with the bike in the garage.
The trooper must be a rookie. He needs to relax a before he hurts someone. He hit one vehicle and almost caused an accident. I appreciate what they do just know when to hold em and when to fold em.
Yeah was gonna say, dude should be hitting 130 instantly from slowing down. Not saying I've ever ran but my 600 would smoke almost all police if I ever got a chance and that's saying with less than a year of riding 😂
@@Haylem 130 is easily catchable if they can keep you in sight. To evade one has to be able to hit over 160 and get distance, then groove like ya know how with the ditch streets. What is amazing to me is all the left lane jackasses that helped him get away and just riding along like it aint nothing. The Left Lane is for passing. Not cruising. If you are not passing them you are BLOCKING others. GTFOTW people's.
@@chumps7974 Unaware is the understatement of the year. They would have had to be Deaf, Blind or Mentally Incapable of processing emergency lights as flashers meaning. Simply imagine it as an ambulance going to YOUR HOME to save your wife or children or parents blocking the way. How unaware do you think people need to be before it becomes criminal?
Některý jsou takový.... Tady v tyhle zemi jsou nejvíc zarputilí starý Bolševici! Ty to nejvíc prožívají :D Komunistický košťata, že kterých tenhle stát udělal důstojníky jsou největší čůráčci....
People don’t realize the cops are trying to make an example out of someone who doesn’t have experience. If that was someone who’s even been riding for 1 year. They would easily leave that officer in the dust
How I was taught to drive. Watch road a few cars ahead, keep out of the fast lane unless passing, watch following distance, check mirrors, watch road ahead, check speed and dashboard gauges and warnings, watch road ahead, repeat above steps. How some people in this video drive. Pull into fast lane, turn on cruise control, crank up music, ignore the world, get hypnotizedby the bumper of the car in front. Panic brake when police lights seen in rear vision mirror. FFS people, wake up out of your damn road hog driving comas.
The problem that I see in America, in general, is that most drivers have never learned or been taught lane discipline, in Europe, you had better stay in your correct lane when making turns, return to the correct lane after passing and check your rearview mirrors frequently, if you don't you will likely get a ticket.
Most operators get in their vehicles and act as if they are sitting in their Lazy Boy recliner in their living rooms. Too many operators. Too damn few drivers.
And cue every criminal alive to get a bike and run as fast as possible any time they are chased? No thanks. The only solution to making streets safer in any context is to take criminals off the street.
When the dumbass cop playing ring around the Rosie with a motorcycle as if it's worth the lives to catch a motorcycle. I wouldn't know where to pay attention either. He had a cop in front of him behind him, then to left. Nobody knows what to do watching the clown show.
The total lack of SA by most drivers is deplorable. It’s like DBs at the grocery checkout that hears the cashier say the total and then start rooting around in her handbag for her wallet.
@@jreezy524you should be paying attention to your surroundings at all times when driving if they were they coukd find a way to get over but everyone drives like nobody else is on it
@@snowlmaoo makes zero sense. In the scenario given every driver in this video have to literally stare in their rearview mirror in order to make clear and safe decisions, so staying in your lane and watching where you yourself are traveling to at 65mph becomes unsafe. I'm not defending the campers but driving at these speeds in traffic and passing on the shoulder is much more dangerous than catching a perp. People can't even watch for motorcycles on a regular basis during normal traffic, I ride I can tell you about countless times where my life was put in danger because people are idiots and I'm doing the speed limit. Now double it.
@@jreezy524 im not saying the cop did the right thing im saying if people werent tunnel vision infront of them they would have had more then enought time to get over there was multiple people that got over way before the cop was behind them cause they were paying attention
@@snowlmaoo I want you to know the worst thing you can ever do is you are put in this position is panic and cut off the vehicle doing twice your speed, stay in your lane, and stay safe. They are already planning on going around you, don't be the reason you both die
Honestly, mad respect for law enforcement and all the bullshit they have to do. This man was reckless. You did not need to pursue him, your pursuit against a man on two wheels was much more dangerous then anything he could have done. All because of what, going a little to fast? Get over it.
All those drivers that didn't move from the fast (passing) lane are drivers with "tunnel vision," they are not defensive drivers, they should receive negative points for insurance coverage.
Let me see you move for a cop coming up behind you at 125mph. Won't happen, and I pray to God you end up on RU-vid with ppl saying how YOU should've moved and YOU'RE the idiot.
@@db2855 You got that right! People want to defund the police until they need them iv wanted to become a Cop since i was a child! But now i see people trying to make the cop's job really hard trying to sue the police for whatever reason they can!!
@@lancesmith6724 When seconds count the police are always minutes away. The only people that NEED police are ones that refuse to exercise their rights.
The officer obviously doesn't have enough sense to realize that the biker is toying with him. He could easily smoke him and disappear from his field of vision. And to continue to pursue him while risking the lives of others is beyond me.
I'm sitting in Wellington, New Zealand watching this and screaming at the morons who sit in the fast lane. We have just as many of these over here. Does my head in.
Exactly. AND let us NOT forget about the drivers stopped at a red light, and AFTER the light turns green, they just sit there for several seconds. One afternoon while my husband was driving and the driver just sat at the green light, and many seconds passed without the driver going, I rolled down my window and leaned out and yelled “They Only Make One Shade Of Green, MOVE!”. My husband looked at me in shock, BUT at least that driver drove on🤭.
Everyone talking about the people in the left lane should consider what it feels like to have a car appear behind you at 120mph. Sure they could be more aware and check the mirrors; but when someone is approaching you at that speed you kind of just freeze up and become afraid to make the wrong move. Most skilled drivers who are speeding cut through traffic switching lanes. The cops just appears on your ass and Bogarts you into moving. Cops are out of control here. What a waste
Yes, it happened to me a few times out in Colorado. When someone passes a car they usually pass at around 5 to 10 mph faster. If the other car is doing 70 you would naturally pass at 80. Cop car doing 110 mph will come up behind you so fast you have no idea as you just naturally check your mirrors only a few times as necessary as it is not normal to have a cop car come up from behind you that fast. Cops know that they have to be patient for drivers to adapt to something that is unusual and wait for them to move over safely. Also, when moving at highway speeds it is much more difficult to hear the police sirens coming up from behind due to wind and road noise. Your point was spot on.
Left lane cruising is against the law in NJ. And for the folks who agree here checking your mirrors and surroundings regularly is part of "operating" a motor vehicle. We all give our word with an ink signature on a legally binding contractual agreement giving our word we will be a safe and courteous driver in exchange for the privilege to drive. PAY ATTENTION TO THE WEAPON YOU ARE DRIVING AND NOT YOUR PHONE!!!! Every single one of those drivers failing to move should be mailed a ticket.
You are wrong, if a drivers is paying attention to surroundings then this should not happen, also the police sirens are very loud. Anyone with decent ears can hear them and that should make the driver pay more attention, on top of that police cars have crazy bright lights. If a driver can't hear or see the lights from far away then it means that they are blind and deaf, they shouldn't be on the road.
@@cranky1812 appearently 70% of the people driving here are then blind and deaf. I am totally aware of what should happen. I am pointing out the reality of what does happen and why people act this way even after seeing the lights behind them. The entire chase was pointless; it endangered and upset all those people for no reason. All because a biker didn’t have his license plate.
@@iconwithnikeson I totally believe that the chase was pointless. I ride motorcycles myself and I know how crazy fast these motorcycles are and cop cars have no chance. My point was that people are getting bad when it comes to driving and they don't pay attention. In this video itself you can see that they didn't move for the cop. In this case it was a motorcycle but think about it, if it was something like life saving organ or an injured person in the cop car.
Can't understand why motorbikes always use the highway as an escape route. Parks, narrow roads, it is a lot of places where ordinary cars generally can't drive.
As I agree with all of you... this must be his first pursuit, a young man who doesn't know what he's up against fuel by ego and adrenaline is a bad combo.
Crazy I said it seemed like he was still feeling his bike out. I could tell by the way he started off. But when he got on the highway and got comfortable with the speed he was out!!! 😂🤷🏾♂️
The police are more dangerous and cause more potential harm to the motoring public than the motorcycle. I have seen too many of these reckless police!!
@@tris.money63 Those people likely just happened to look up at the right time. There are definitely people who had plenty of time to get over but there are other as Kas mentioned that simply would have the trooper in their ass unless they were constantly looking up in the rear view mirror. Next time you get on the highway, sit in the left lane and do the speed limit. Watch some approach. Measure how long it takes and get out of their way. Then get back over and pace them. They'll probably be doing 5-15mph faster than you were initially driving and it would have taken them 20 maybe 30 seconds or more to catch up to you for you to need to move over. The trooper's speed differential is anywhere between 5-12 times that. Meaning you would have to be looking up at your mirror every 3-6 seconds just to see him on your ass. That doesn't account for the time to still get out of the way. If you are looking at your rear view mirror every 3-6 seconds while driving on the interstate (let alone maybe driving on the interstate for hours at a time), then you're a damn near perfect driver when it comes to monitoring your mirror. A 50-70mph speed differential hits you faster than you think. Again, there are some obvious cluebags in this video but I think the big issue is just the massive speed differential. Also keep in mind the size of a vehicle in a rear view mirror as compared to the size of a vehicle on a dashcam. If I were to guess, it's probably 5x or more larger in a dashcam when you're a 100-200 yards away.
And what exactly would each of these tickates be for? The police are required to obey the traffic laws just like you and I. The reds and blues with or without the siren doesn’t give them special privileges. When we as drivers see then we’re required to yield the right of way, that right of way isn’t magically granted. With the sound insulation in modern cars, plus the radio on, plus the speed at which the cop is approaching, it’s no great wonder some driver’s don’t see him until he’s upon them.
@Kas If the trooper is doing 130 and the cars in the left lane are going 70 that is a 60 mph difference so the trooper will close at the rate of one mile per minute so yes, there are times when the trooper could come up unobserved.
At the one point when the cop got close to the tail of that bike and saw see NO tag . . . Thats when he should have known how the rest of this chase was going to be. Could have dropped the pursuit right there. Im surpised he even got that close.
Wow it’s genuinely amazing to me how you are gonna get mad at the cops for doing their job but not say one word about the criminal on the motorcycle not only doing the same thing, but the one who’s causing them to both do it 😂🤡’s. Some ppl just ain’t cut out for LE🥱
It's like a dog chasing a cat through a dinner party. That cat was fine until the dog started chasing it, and the dog does the most destruction, yet that cat takes the blame.
As a young man on a street bike 🏍️ I was involved in many high-speed chases never got caught, never crashed, but in my opinion these cops were absolutely stupid for chasing this guy. Let him go. It’s not a big deal👍
ive been in a no-speed chase? crawled up a hill behind truck at half speed limit. pull onto main road in front of me, pull over to let me past. in front of cops coming the other way. just after dusk. nothing to actually do me for, but they still whip the lights on... (unlike 90% of these drivers, i watch my mirrors?) pull up. on a curve, sort of a hedge... the truck that just let me by passes me just as they round the bend and overtake (on a blind corner...) failing to see me in their haste "to catch the baddy". revenue raising. quota meeting. call it what you will, they were having a blitz that night... rural. we speed out here :) only because they dropped the limits... man, they freaking HAULED up that road, vanishing into the distance... i can only imagine what they were thinking, lol.
@@Cogic not the best habit to get into but ive had a few others... lol, too much fun hitting speedhumps, launching. didnt see him hiding til the last moment... 100 in a 50... car behind me so he had to pause a second before doing his uturn... just as im rounding a corner... HARD RIGHT! HARD RIGHT! HARD RIGHT! thankyou sidestreets! just made it around in time... and pop out two cars behind him and then sit at the lights laughing as he takes off through them with lights on... yeah, not a good habit cus if it doesnt work out youre screwed...
This... ppl don't realize how fast modern sport bikes are. My current toy BMW S1000R can hang with and surpass a lot of so-called "Super Cars". 160 mph in a heart beat. Of course the problem is the sudden stop if things go wrong. Insane that some squids do things such as this on the highway. Much much too easy to die.
@@VictorHenderson Or here's a wild thought, just ban the sale and modification of these bikes. Not like any of you bat an eye at the idea of a machine gun ban. As if there's a single person who owns these bikes anyway who isn't a massive prick.
@@VictorHendersontoo true. I’m at home recovering from a hit and run. I was going 50 on my bike and hit the ground hard enough to have two bleeds in my brain. I narrowly missed needing brain surgery in order to relieve the pressure. On top of that my clavicle is broken and I need to go get my back checked because the doctor thinks it could be broken as well. At least my bike has minimal damage haha
I don't know the American traffic laws. In Germany there is the so-called right-hand drive requirement. If there are several lanes, you always have to use the right lane and may only use the middle and/or left lane to overtake and then get back into the right lane. In Germany there are many idiots who have a left-right disorder and only have a smartphone in front of their face instead of an inside mirror. But in the USA it seems to be even more crazy!
You're right. It's worse here. It varies from state to state. Depends on whose opinion you ask. But California, Florida and Georgia seem to be near the top of the list for oblivious drivers.
@@jaysonstinson9458 Every people or nation has its peculiarities and fetishes. For example, I can't understand the gun laws in the US. Others will surely shake their heads at the German sanctuary of the lack of speed limits on Autobahns. And in every nation or population there are always (more intelligent) members who question their own traditions, politics and society critically and who differ from the mainstream.
Most states have laws against obstructing traffic, and those laws are only applied in extreme cases which what we see in. This video is considered a normal American drivers being totally oblivious to what’s going around them and that’s considered OK as we see in the video now the cop just doesn’t start pulling these people over and giving them tickets. Why are you chasing the bike? You’ve got a bunch of idiots, breaking the law right in front of you.
