@@yaseenalam5846 it definitely takes a certain type of individual to do this, them loving it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd rather have someone that's not afraid of it, being confident and competent behind the wheel than someone timid and afraid behind the wheel. If the police didn't chase people the streets would be a hell of a lot more dangerous as many people would drive like this just because they know there's no consequences. At least with police they have lights and sirens telling you to get the hell out of the way.
You can tell the officer's ego was definitely hurt in this one. Any reasonable person would know after the first 15 seconds that there is no way in hell to catch up to that camaro. This is called getting emotionally involved and thus created more danger by the cop's actions than that camaro.
I was hoping for a reason somewhere. I've been in a similar situation, car was loud but I wasn't speeding, cop hit the lights, facing me, and I said screw it, floored it, he had to turn around on a rural road. I was nearly two miles away before he turned around.
Better watch your language on RU-vid. They'll red flag you and threaten you with cutting off your priviledge and right to express your opinion on their channel. They don't care about 1st Amendment Rights. They just care about their hypocritical policies.
Totally agree in most cases but in this case there may be more to it. You know that's a punk that's been doing that for some time. I get pulled over for spitting out the window in a jeep. Another form of taxation, and maybe something else going on. Think about it.
As a retired LEO that retired in supervisory capacity, I can state with confidence, that there is absolutely no justification why ANY police officer should be chasing a vehicle at the speed the Trooper was driving, unless the Trooper has knowledge of a violent FELONY that was committed by the driver of the Camaro, PRIOR TO the Trooper attempting to initiate a traffic stop for a misdemeanor traffic violation. All the Trooper has here as PROBABLE CAUSE is a very "sketchy at best" MISDEMEANOR traffic violation to initiate an attempt to make the traffic stop, which is NOT sufficient to endanger the general public by a high speed pursuit, ESPECIALLY in a highly populated by heavy traffic secondary roadway after leaving the interstate. Equally as disturbing to me, is the fact that no supervisory personnel interceded to call off the pursuit. If this was one of my officers, I would have got on the radio and ORDERED the Trooper to terminate the pursuit as soon as it reached such high speed that it put the public in jeopardy. Otherwise, I am equally liable for the Trooper's actions of neglegence, because I didn't stop the pursuit as a supervisor. In court trying to defend gross negligence without "qualified immunity" because of gross negligence is not where any officer wants to be. That is why, high speed pursuits that do not involve violent felony charges are against most city & county law enforcement agency departmental SOP (Standard Operational Procedures) these days due to the aspect of vicarious liability, punitive damages, and even criminal prosecution can be placed upon officers. From my perspective, this entire situation is a prime example of a legitimate psychological phenomenon that we police command staff & police instructors call "contempt of cop". It's an ideal most often initiated by young, inexperienced law enforcement officers who can not detach themselves from a situation where someone from the general public doesn't obey THE OFFICER'S commands to stop, or follow what the officer perceives as being a lawful order. In the old days we used to call it "having a severe case of Rookie-itis". It is a dangerous training issue that needs to be addressed on a stricter level.
@@sportbikejesus6297 He also wrote "PRIOR" to the Trooper initiating the stop. Barry H knew about what he was speaking. Even I, as a civilian, could view and discern the previous to the initiated stop, the driver was within legal limits of speed, and was driving neither recklessly nor impaired.
Yeah, but given cops have qualified immunity and can get away with almost anything and only get a paid vacation... Do you really think they care? Not really.
@@ginadisbrow9324 I know and to be clear I disagree with his entire post. However in the (imo wrong) opinion he’s trying to state, he (as you did) should have all capped prior, not felony. It would have made it clear he was aware that fleeing was a felony and drawn attn to the word he thought was most significant.
@@scoobydoo4126 yeah i saw the plate on there, that was the goofiest thing he could've done without a plate cover lmao. should've just pulled over he was only going 70 which is the speed limit on that road i think lol.
This officer needs to be investigated and his ego checked. He chased literally nothing for 5 minutes just because he got embarrassed. How many lives did he endanger with this reckless pursuit of nothing? Why was he even attempting to stop him. He clearly just spotted a performance car who was doing nothing illegal, decided to pace him and run his tag looking for a reason to pull him over. This is not a legal tactic. You can’t just run random plates because you are having a ego trip. I’m glad he embarrassed this dude!
Said the same thing once I hit 4 minutes; is this worth it? Interstate is one thing but once you can't brake for anyone never expecting a 120 vehicle to close in on them.........this starts to get stupid.
The cop thought something was up because he slowed down. I am not excusing what the police did by any means. I am a truck driver and trainer. If the cops are going under the speed limit I pass them. Teach my trainees to do the same.
@@RedTiger-uk4xb The automated readers are being challenged in court as a 4th Amendment violation. In this political climate I would say randomly running plates even manually will be challenged as well.
Im wondering the same. Maybe he thinks he paced him speeding 5 miles over? Funny cause he drove 83 to catch up to that guy. I bet the speed limit was 60-65 and the camaro looked to be going around 70. Not worth driving like a madman.
I was a medic working one night when a kid with a light out took off from the police and one cop T bone a teenage girl and killed her during the pursuit..
If the lights and sirens didn't give away the police car's presence -- what makes you think you'd notice the criminal they are chasing, for whom you're just making excuses? You're on the wrong side here, and you know it - but you just hate police, and apparently like criminals. Not a peep about the criminal speeding, and you're worried about a marked trooper patrol vehicle - sad.
About 55% into this video I asked myself "How do they know who to follow after all of that time goes by without seeing him?" AND - About 60% into this video I asked myself "WTF are we still driving like a crazy bastard when we've clearly lost the guy?"
He doesn't realize that before he flipped on his lights, he already documented the tag number. They'll show up a few days later knocking at his door. If the plate isn't registered to him, they will find out who it is registered to, and a detective will work his magic and find out who they bought the vehicle for. He says at the end of the video "if you could send that return to my atlas, please" he's talking about the 10-28, aka the license plate and registration information.
When someone's endangering the public by driving 5-10 over on a mostly empty highway, so you assert your dominance by chasing them aimlessly at nearly twice that speed into residential roads. Truly serving and protecting to the best of one's abilities right there.
If he was a law abiding citizen why run from police? Most who run is because they have done something... like committed a crime. Or do you think doing nothing and allow criminals to do whatever they want is better public safety?
@@laneweever2620 And after the APB is put out and the next cop who tries to stop that car? The car decides to run from that one too; then what? We are right back to another pursuit
Arkansas police department needs to up their shit. 128 mph max speed? Cmon. They need a car like the Tesla model s plaid. No one will EVER outrun that. Trust me.
Imagine being a cop, speeding, hogging the left lane, slowing down in the left lane impeeding traffic and then cutting across 3 lanes because your ego doesnt like fast cars. Road pirates are a joke
I bet the freeway cop would do nothing against heavily financed blm/pantifa rioters in his own hometown. He would 'stand down' ...but chase some hard working kid that probably makes x2 cop salary with a nice fun car.
I am horrified by this video. This is MY town! I was born and raised here. When I saw the cop take that loop and go into a residential area, I screamed at my phone. What you don't see is the CHILDRENS' hospital as he makes the loop, and the cancer treatment facility. This cop really made bad choices here. He either was butt hurt or he was having a grand time going ridiculous speeds for no good reason. Alternately, props to the other Arkansas drivers for practicing safe driving and getting over for the cops.
@@touchofgrey5372 Pacing speeding ticket of about 75-78 at the start in more than likely a 65+ MPH zone. at 0:05 cop was doing 82 while the Camaro was going about 5-10 mph slower. 0:42 sounds like he read his plate also and unless stolen the owner is going to be getting charges regardless.
This cop can't see shit he is on his way to the nearest Dunkin for a free doughnut day that ends at midnight and it its 11:59 PM !!!! This is truly reckless driving by the police for no reason.
Someone should give the cop the ticket for reckless driving and endangering the public He never saw that Camero again and should have cut it off long before he left the highway
@@austinblevins6804 Lol since when is downshifting illegal. I’ve been followed by so many moronic cops that think “loud car = speeding”. Manuals exist.
My cousin bought this same Camero 2 years ago and first thing he did was take it on the Hwy to see how fast it would go. He invited me to go and I declined since I knew he'd be driving wild. He got pulled over doing 165MPH and he told the cop he was sorry he just bought the car and the cop let him off without even a warning. Good Ole' boys in Hartselle, Alabama.
Dude lost him on the freeway soon after the chase started. Yet he drove like a maniac for 20 minutes. And most likely passed the Camaro sitting in a parking lot.
He doesn't realize that before he flipped on his lights, he already documented the tag number. They'll show up a few days later knocking at his door.

@Dylan Reeve actually he was found. Someone put a link in the comments to it. They arrested him at his house that night. And if the plate was fake it wouldn't have had a return, which it did.
Doing 70+ on the curves of Don Tyson is beyond ballsy, its criminally stupid. Those curves are unforgiving and blind intersections with the hills involved. Yet another example of an ASP Trooper needing to be benched.
I was a passage with my friend in a BMW. We tested the speed of this car at 4:00 am on an empty highway. We hit 147 mph.. So fast! We missed our exit, we got there so quickly.
I love the way he 'knew' which ramp the purp exited, which turns he made, which direction he went, and how, after endangering the public calmly says I lost him. . . DUDE ! you never HAD him. . .
@@DL101ca a lot of people run fake plates or no plates at all nowadays. Fake plates come with a lot more trouble if ya do get caught so i dont go that route. I prefer running a plate with a car club, dealership, or performance shop name on it. I dont use a place that i have ever been so it cant be tracked. It helps with the excuse you put it on there for a car show and forgot to put your real plate back on. Most of the time it gets ya a verbal warning if you have it with ya and can change it right there if ya do decide to pull over.
104 through a 35mph zone. What you don’t see is that there are residential driveways that enter right onto that surface street. I drive this route every day.
These dash cam videos should be viewed by a public committee and officers that do this stuff (chase invisible cars for 4 minutes after they lost it) at reckless speeds like this should be suspended WITHOUT pay for 3 months the 1st time for 6 months the 2nd time and fired the 3rd time. THEN maybe we would not here about so many of these types of pursuits ending in tragedy for innocent drivers.
That car probably got off on the first or second exit after chase started. No reason to pull him over anyway, he wasn't even speeding at the beginning.
I was wondering why he lit him up to begin with. Even if the speed limit was 55 (doubtful), 65 wouldn't have been enough to reasonably warrant a ticket. Maybe he was playing around before hand and the cops showed up? But still sus.
I’m only guessing here but judging by how quickly that corvette got off the highway after the Camaro got lit up. Also the fact the vette was behind him in the beginning of the video. They were probably racing lol
Notice that the cop was making right turns. That's because they know that most people fleeing will make right turns since that's often the quicker/easiest way to go.
True story... got pulled over in my Camaro on my way to work one morning for 8 mph over the posted limit. I'm not questioning that part, I was over the limit and didn't deny it. The punch line is, after the officer turned around, chased after me and pulled me over, when he approached my window, I mentioned to him that there was a nasty looking accident a couple miles back (yes, I did stop and ask if help was needed but everybody was ok). He said "yeah, I know, that's where I was going." So he turned around and chased me down for 8 mph over while on his was to an accident. If it hadn't been too long ago, I'd wonder if it was this guy. 😁
They ask "can you see him". "catching his taillights every so often". Bullshit he was gone before the 1:20 mark and you just drove recklessly blind after someone you never even saw again. Pull these cops badges. There was no reason to not abandon pursuit by the 2 minute mark of this video.
Im surprised he kept going for so damn long! At the speed and length he went, im surprised he didn’t run into another white 6th gen camaro and try and pull over an innocent person.
Even IF he found the "right" car... it's gonna be almost impossible to prove it in court without a proper tag ID. Can't see it really and I never heard him call it out
He would have pulled over ANY innocent person slightly resembling in a NYC minute!... To save his ego.. And don't worry about the proving in court... Undoubtedly would have lied and said cop never lost sight of him!!
@@MrHurricaneFloyd the cop lost line of sight for hella long. If he got the tag then he's got him, but IF he didn't well... burden of proof lies with the state and there's a lot of camaros in this country
I don't know why he got off at that exit vs. any of the other exits he passed. After he passed the first exit without seeing wether he took it or not, his chances of finding him just dropped to nothing. Surely a cop that has the authority to do stuff like this knows that??!! Doing close to 130mph, passing cars going half that speed, and no idea where the car actually is. Crazy.
"I see tail lights every so often" Man you didn't see shit that Camaro was GONE about 30 seconds after the chase started. Congratulations on making TWO cars travel 130mph for 4 minutes, for absolutely no reason.
@@christopherdammer6641 I had a state boy once whip a u-turn on a 4 lane road with a turn lane (so 5 lanes), cut off a bunch of people, and came up on me doing 100mph in a 45mph zone just to give me a 5 over ticket. I don't dislike ALL cops, but some of them are a complete joke.
thats the one benifit of the doubt i usually give these officers, because the human eye works way better than a dash cam. But, once i rewatched it to see if i could track him, i realised the camaro was gone at the first sweeping curve. No lights and after that not a single visual. wouldnt surprise me he took the first exit.
When the cop got on the street on was going 100 mph I lost all respect for this guy. Putting the publics lives in danger like that should be criminal unless you know for sure that you’re chasing a killer
@@AKEYFACTOR That's why a lot of cities no longer do high speed chases, unless absolutely necessary, like a murder suspect or something. If a cop isn't chasing them at high speeds, then the Camaro won't be going 130+ endangering people.
@@twiz148 The point is that high speed pursuit to catch a bad guy endangers all the innocent citizens in the area. The cop has the plates before the guy punched it. The guy would have stopped speeding FAR more quickly had the cop not been pursuing him....... I hate criminals.... I think their sentences should be automatically 10 years longer than they are now for any violent crime....but high speed pursuits endanger the public. No apologizing for gutter trash criminals......but putting the general public in danger is the wrong choice.
The ONLY reason why it was a reckless pursuit is because the guy disobeyed the law of being required to pull over when a cop puts his lights on. Most likely the guy has something illegal which is why they risked avoiding the police. And it was the Camaro that was endangering people's lives by choosing to take off at a reckless speed.
it seems that ASP Aretha worst state troopers in the US they have so many videos of chasing people and each video they are reckless....I can't believe they get away with it
Yup once he lost sight the chase was over. If I was a cop and I know cars as soon as he took off I would of shut my lights off and surrender it would keep the perps life and others safe with the perp knowing the chase was off.
My guy was absolutely smoked from jump, and kept on like he knew where the SS went. Hilarious, except that the officer carried on endangering people, including himself, unnecessarily. He really thought that Explorer could track the Camaro. We never heard any radio calls. Did he even communicate with dispatch at all? And what was the reason for the stop anyway? Cop got embarrassed, as he well deserved.
Almost as if the police can't read the license plate number on the dash board cam and show up at his residence with a set of pretty handcuffs the next day.
That's a dumb conclusion.. Camaro coulda been stolen, his reaction to the cop getting behind him was worth stopping him.. n if that car does belong to him he's most likely ID'd n caught, can't run forever..
@@jakelongize Car could be stolen, no insurance, expired sticker, hit n run, previous runaway, warrant for arrest.. Cops don't just pull ppl over for any reason, I know, I had expired sticker for a few months n cops still wouldn't pull me over, thank God..
This is how I drive, when I have to buy some supplies or consulting a physician. Reason: I'm so old, I cannot risk wasting my lifetime with driving slowly. For security reason I installed blue light system in my car and a compressed air siren for clearing my path. I have a lot of driving experience and the best lawyers on my side.
The Camaro has left the chat... That being said it's always wrong to run, however in this instance. I would love some clarity on what the reason for the attempted stop was, along with why he is chasing air for miles and miles. Seems a bit dangerous traveling at nearly 100mph on local streets
That was unsafe and unreasonable. Why did he keep speeding when there was no chance he was going to find him? So much unsafe driving and needlessly putting other people's lives at risk.
Exactly. The Camaro was gone from site in first 5 seconds. Lucky he hit all green lights or he could've killed someone. I heard maybe ambulances have the ability to turn lights green in their favor, don't know if that's true or not but don't think cops can.
The most dangerous time to be driving is when you are angry, and in my area there have been a few cops driving at high speed over the years causing fatal crashes.
Sheriff Buford T Justice over here chasing a goddamn maniac all the way from TexArkana, and ignored Snowball and his haul from the get go. RUN BANDIT RUN!
Possibly or he was speeding saw a cop moved over slowed down and that's where the video picked up. No way this guy runs unless he knows he was just busted excessively speeding.
Cop had to wait until his star power ran out before stopping the 'chase'. It is why it took him 5 minutes to quit. He may have also taken a mushroom, considering he was under the illusion that there was hope. At 2:00, you can hear a faint 'Go Mario! Go'
Although I don’t condone criminal activity, seeing the reckless psychopaths at ASP getting trolled does warm my heart. The Trooper spent 4 minutes chasing air at triple digit speeds, in a vain attempt to catch someone who…didn’t appear to even be committing a crime? Way to protect and serve.
Lmfao!!!😂🤣 Well done.😎👍 That guy was just cruising down the highway minding his own business wasn't speeding or nothing, the cop swings behind him he turns on his turning signal and gets in the lane the cop just left and the cop hit hits lights on him. Just because your job as a cop gives you a little authority doesn't mean you can go around harassing people, I hate it when police do this.💯

You got to give it to the cop for chasing someone he couldn’t catch up and put in everyone’s life in danger. With all due respect some people aren’t meant to be cops😔
I'd like to know why he stopped him in the first place? I showed this to my ex who is a retired Trooper and this pursuit should have been called after the first 3 minutes when he completely lost site of the guy and never got it back. I'm totally pro LE, but this was very dangerous for everyone, not to mention, how do people not see the cherries and berries in the dark like that, does no one remember pull to the right and stop?
@@daveherrington9112 Multiple citizen complaints of racing between him and the vette. They rolled up on him in front of his residence trying to hide a few cars down.
