Reaction To Exciting Police Motorcycle Chase in Finland 

The police officer was not trying to catch him. Just keeping up and telling others where he goes so they can put up a road block. Almost all of the police bikers in Finland are professional street bikers before they became police. So all of them are experts. If a police bike is behind you and tries to pull you over you might escape if you are in an air plane.

They are chasing him through Lauttasaari, Helsinki around 03:16, they turn to the center road of Lauttasaari and pass the Myllykallio Elementary school that's on the right side of the road, cannot be seen too well in the video but some of the smaller yard buildings can be noticed, then they speed through the busy central road, crazy! Then from 4-5 minutes in the video they get nearer and nearer to central Helsinki, crossing the bridge and leaving Lauttasaari (the bridge goes across a patch of the ocean, not river btw :)), but at 04:51 they turn back away from Helsinki to a highway. What a chase and nice Lauttasaari tour at the start!

Someone commented that the biker was known to police beforehand, and he commented to the chasing cop after the chase "you drove fucking well".

Since nobody else havent really touched on police chases in Finland, ill open them up a bit. So when the chase starts, officers will make initial decision to either try to stop or let you go. Latter is the decision usually if continuing chase poses great danger to others, except if you are in city area and driving dangerously. (Like in this case) Then they will stop you any way they can. When the chase starts they will bring on bike patrols as they are the main chasing patrols using. With a car you cant outrun them. Those police bikes will just follow you and coordinate other patrols to chase and close out streets to push you out of city area. They have spikes and such to stop you, this case wasnt used for obvious reasons. In the video when the bike turns to farm, he did because it was third police roadblock. With the enough civilians to actually close out the road and force him to slow down. He spotted the officers and tried to flee trough the farm but couldnt. Usually police wouldnt chase you if they got your number plate, unless you are otherwise dangerous.

Yes, there are indeed Baker Gangs in Finland. In the quaint yet bustling city of Helsinki, an eclectic society of culinary artisans known as the Crusty Gang has redefined the concept of flakiness and butteriness in the world of croissants. These are not just mere pastries; they are an epic culinary journey wrapped in layers of meticulously crafted, golden-hued dough. As you hold one, you immediately notice the exquisite weight distribution, a testament to the craftsmanship involved. The dough is a masterpiece, incorporating high-quality Finnish butter with such skill that the individual molecules of fat seem to be in perfect harmony with the flour. This gives the croissant an almost ethereal quality, blending richness with lightness in a dance of complex textures and flavors. No ordinary butter is used; it's a special blend of cultured and sweet cream butter, churned to perfection and aged just enough to hit that magical balance of tanginess and creaminess. The flakiness is unparalleled, resembling more a work of art than a food item. Upon biting into it, the croissant doesn't merely break; it shatters into an explosion of microscopic flakes, each a universe of flavor unto itself. As the shards of pastry touch your tongue, they melt instantly, releasing bursts of buttery satisfaction that trigger a cascade of dopamine in your brain. You'll find yourself instinctively closing your eyes, savoring the symphony of taste playing out in your mouth. This Finnish Gang of Bakers employs a secret lamination technique, a guarded secret passed down through generations, which involves a unique sequence of folding and rolling. It's a ritualistic, almost meditative process, carried out in the early morning hours, as the sun starts to light up the Finnish sky. This technique is said to involve not just 27, 54, or even 81 layers, but a virtually infinite number, as if they have captured the essence of fractals and integrated it into their dough. This provides a geometrically perfect escalation of flakiness that defies what was previously thought possible in pastry science. And let's not forget the buttery aroma. The smell alone is enough to transport you to an idyllic Finnish meadow, where the air is as crisp as the bite of an apple and the gentle rays of the Nordic sun warm your skin. It's a scent that lingers, not just in the room where the croissants are baked, but in your very soul, reminding you that somewhere in Helsinki, the Finnish Gang of Bakers is upholding the sacred tradition of creating the most flaky and buttery croissants known to humankind.

You ain't getting away from finnish motorcycle police easily they are damn good drivers and they dont give up easily

Funny how with your accent it sounded like you said "baker gang" 🤣

This happened in Helsinki. This caused a bit of a stir with people saying the police should have abandoned the chase and I tend to agree. Someone from the police did say though that the view from the camera may make things look a bit tighter than they were in reality, they may have had a bit more of a margin in those tight spots. The guy who was running from the cops had taken some drugs and decided not to stop. At that point where they almost collide the guy running away braked suddenly due to the police car ahead and the police motorcyclist couldn't brake in time so he almost collided. I believe he did hit the right side side bag on the other motorcycle and knocked it off.

Yeah this is Helsinki (or mostly Espoo which is a bordering municipality). It's a couple of years old but you do get to see a lot of the western parts of the city here lol.

Hyvä Poliisi,hieno suoritus👍👍👍

Yeah... this is from 2017... the biker trying to flee was holding drugs and was also very high on them. The route went through from Helsinki-Lauttasaari-Ruoholahti back to Lauttasaari, to Espoo Tapiola-Niittykumpu-Friisilä-Suomenoja-Espoon keskus and then looped back towards Suomenoja. I know all the those roads well... but wouldn´t ever dare to even try to escape a police officer on a bike. I am fairly good biker myself but these finnish police bikers are something else and they train their skills a lot on the track too. BTW: bikes are ridden, not driven. These days finnish police bikes are updated to very fastest bike models there are available. Noticed how the police bike`s gearbox was miss-shifting a lot? I think third or fourth gear was in a bad shape already...

Finnish motorcycle police are like world class motorcycle drivers, you are not gonna outrun them. Don't even try.

The runner is kinda relative of mine. Known him for my whole life. I think he had some amphetamines on him, and in him too. And they have a biker gang. The runner has killed 20 years ago a guy, and after this chase he has killed another person and is currently in prison for that and many other crimes.

That harley driver was pretty skilled driver also! there is 2ppl on and pretty heavy bike.

All Nordic contrys is like this , green landskapes and nice houses.. I,m Swedish👍🏼not soo god at english, sorry🙈

First as I wasn't paying atettion what youtube startes playing but mentioning of them baker gangs got my attention just to realize it was biker gangs. Man that would be awesome outlaw bakers

I actually am on that video as they drove by me on Finnoontie in Espoo city. There were multiple roads blocked by police.

I disagree with you, hiding in tall grass wouldn't help at all. They would just bring out the police dogs ❤ Smart thing to do at that point is to give up 😊

i think they released this video just for an example, if ur trying to get away, this will happen

The motorbikes used by the police in Finland have always been top of the notch. I don't know what type of bike was used in this chase. The video was filmed in the year 2017. Starting from the year 2020, Finnish police has started to get new motorbikes. There was a review of the new model in the TM magazine 14/2020 (22.7.2020). The new tool of Finnish police is Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE. It is one of the most powerful and most advanced sports tourer in the market. The writer of the article did a test drive of the civil version of the bike, and he was totally stunned. The bike has a 1000 cc 4 cylinder mechanically supercharged engine that produces power of 147 kW (197 hp) and torque of 137 Nm. The top speed is electrically limited to 300 km/h (186 mph). The civil version of the bike weights 256 kg, but with the police equipment, 281 kg. It has all the modern technologies, such as traction slip limiter and ABS brakes that allow full braking while turning without fear of falling. The police version is equipped with radars both to front and rear direction. It has 3 cameras that can send live feed to other police patrols and to the control room. The register plate detecting system automatically warns about any stolen or otherwise wanted vehicles. And the navigation system shows locations of the other police patrols. Virve radio is used to send commands and digital information. (It is based on the Tetra network. Unlike commercial cellular networks, Tetra is very reliable, secure, and it works even in the deep forests far away of closest cities or roads.)

my favorite chase video of all time

Witnessed this chase as a bystander. Wonderful scenery of Espoo and Helsinki LOL

Not river, not lake but The Baltic Sea.

Hiding in the tall grass is good way to get hunted by police dogs tho...

@mertfin : THE REAL REASON THEY FLED: to get ahead of the police enough to hide somewhere some illegal stuff that they clearly had on them. The passenger then ran away, supposedly to get rid of something behind the barn building: maybe drugs, maybe a gun or something like that. ;) The police were having a little conversation at the end, saying that they will get some dogs there to sniff the area, because "he definitely disposed something there". :) Edit: Ok - now that I read the other comments, it was a heavy load of drugs and driving under the influence of drugs. :D

If it wasn't pointed out yet the rider was under the influence of amphetamine and metamphetamine. It happened 29.6.2016.

"Is that an actual lake?" I felt a great a disturbance in the Force. It was as if a million Finns yelled out "NO! That's the fucking BALTIC SEA!!!"

I like how he tilts his head as the motorcycle tilts 😊

The thing is Finnish Police are the best in the whole world and I'm not just saying that.

This was about 10 years ago. Real event. I live nearby. Chace starts from western Helsinki Lauttasaari and ends at Espoo, suburban about 20 km west from downtown Helsinki.. all water you see is Baltic Sea.. sing was Hanko, which is small town 120 km west from Helsinki.

All finnish cities look pretty much like that, ofcourse there's differences too and, most are pretty small ones. Many (especially people from abroad) consider even Helsinki to be a small city, maybe it's because the lack of high-rise buildings.

18:10 i think he was trying to go to the forest because those police motorcycles don't have the correct tires for off road so the traction is kinda bad so most of the power is wasted just pushing dirt. it is a good plan but you have to have the correct tires for it and it takes some skill to do it. if you don't have correct tires then it's not gonna work that well.

Normally police often gives up a chase if the perpetrator is not high profile, for example moped kids that have tuned their bike. When it's someone high profile from a biker gang they definitely will not give up the chase if they have a warrant which I definitely think is the case.

Finnish motorbike polices actually has ninja h2 with tunes😂

No one's giving points to the criminal. He's driving with a passenger 😮💪👍 Edit. Before people give me hell, I'll add this... Yes, it was INCREDIBLY irresponsible of him, to risk the passenger's life like that.

They apprehended him :) You can't get away. Also, there was a passenger, I would have screamed all the way.

In the west-side of helsinki, sparcely populated "garden-town" .................

Take it from a Norwegian. The Finns....they...they're a little different.... :)

why they are chasing and risk all outsiders. why we vehicled drive fastyer than limits are? i dont get it. if car not go 100mkh it cant overspeed tight? not matter my kickscooter go 115kmh LOL and year to work cost 19euros IF drive 25kmh legally but it was 2 euros year before electricity pumped up 10x. lets make that joke. year to work costed less than 1way bus. now you can laught

0:52min What kind of gangs? Baker gangs? xD Love your accent! I don't think Finland has a huge problem with bakers being in baker gangs! xDDD

That was a really crazy ride. I've seen that quite many times and it happened on areas that are very familiar to me.

Yeah there are biker gangs in Finland. Three major ones and their affiliate gangs that does the typical drug dealing and shit. Most of the MC:s are "straighters" though, and just like to ride motorcycles without any criminal activity. It's the three big ones that throw their weight around and the legal clubs just have to tolerate it, unfortunately.

Is not BMW 1100 c, Enough? Well officer here playd too much... games...😃

in finland you cant register motorvehicle that goes over policemotor bikes top limit.. mp police need to go ahed of you and show you to stop.. so like Black bird or some hayabusa are the tops for mp. but think... even hayabuse goes 320kmh and police mp needs to goe ahead of you. those finnis mp drivers are some real boys

Ah, I remember this well....Been living in main capital area my whole life so all of this chase happened on the roads Ive known my whole life in Helsinki-Espoo area. Helsinki is ofc the capital and Espoo is right next to it, towards west. Personally I was born in Espoo and lived in different parts of Espoo my whole life 😄 The first few minutes of the chase happen in Helsinki and then moves to Espoo's side around 6:35 where the "border" of Helsinki and Espoo is and the rest of the chase happens in Espoo and actually goes quite near where I used to live with my parents for many years, before I moved to live on my own. And ye, I really think Helsinki-Espoo area is quite beautiful in the summer especially near the coast, wouldnt dream to live anywhere else.

The Finnish police has Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX bike's.. Soo you will need a dirtbike too get away from that.

I don't think we have baker gangs in Finland xD What makes me surprised is that despite the roaring motors and high speed and sirens, the cyclists are still biking on the road and haven't moved to the side or anything. You're right about how the police vehicles are pretty charged under the hood compared to civilian cars and bikes.

I don't know who was being chased, but not exactly normal, of course both drive well.

The chase goes on in Lauttasaari and Kamppi in Helsinki, then west on the Länsiväylä motorway to Espoo. In Espoo they turn north to Kauklahti, then west again.

It wasn't a moped club, they wear vests and barely outrun the police, that doesn't make any sense.

Baker gangs! Sounds delicious!

Hän vaarantaa oman(vitun väliä) myös muitten sivullisten hengen. Hän on varmaan KOVA jätkät. Vittu mikä kusi pää.

It's quite an old footage so the camera is pretty crap.

Scottish who are living at asia but super keen into finland.. bit weird but i drink for that.

On täällä video josain misä MP- poliisi työnnetään palasiksi mönkijäkuskin toimesta.. En jaksa nyt ettiä..

Tommosen kusipäät pitäs viedä saunantaakse......ja kai te ymmärrätte.😮

This is Lauttasaari (ferry island) in Helsinki and the end is in Espoo

The police closed the road a couple of times...There is a longer version with better video..The motorway is on one side and the sea on the other, there is not many ways to go...

Lol, knew they were in for an off right off the bat at the first left turn - it's a dead end :D (unless you know where you're going, there's a walking/cycling bridge in one spot through several smaller islands to the "mainland") Used to work on this island right off Helsinki (Lauttasaari) and they also drove like a mile off my old house. You were pretty spot on about the districts and the old power station when they were driving through Ruoholahti towards the city centre.

Drivers license suspended for 1 year ............

Police action very stupid and dangerous for other people.

We have angels, canonball, bandidos and some ppl from other countrys city gangs. United brothers hood or ubh was destroied by police. Maby they are now prison gangs idk what hapens in stone house(prison)

Over 300km.... Just come and try to escape....

Lauttasaari-island in Helsinki. I live there too, very cosy place.

this was at Helsinki area, our capital city

Just one word "Damn"

4:26 That is the court house on the left - a former alcohol factory. This is in Helsinki.

Finnish Motorcycle Police uses Kawasaki Ninja H2 with Modified 1000cc2 engine, making it like H2R, also this race was going in Helsinki-Espoo as the most civilisiced capital in Finland, the upmost fastest speed they had would be about 220km/h in the highway… just in case youre curious

4:20 It is a powerstation. I got my first job in there when I wad 14 y/o

That biker later went to prison for killing somebody.

do not want to pay a fine ............

I heard that scottish people can't say purple burglar alarm is that true :D

Helsinki (lauttasaari) and most of the part Espoo.

this happened in the capital of finland helsinki

This looks like GTA5 daam suomi cops.

Runners bike was m1800r and it weight like 330kg and is pretty damn fast bike too but he did have a passenger and propably combined weight close to 500kg. Considering that he drove pretty damn good. I had intruder like that and it is not an easy bike to ride.

It is i the western part of Helsinki

the criminal with the camera drove recklessly

ei suomalainen poliisi anna periksi! piste!

Why you do this video anyway😅

i believe esboo to hanko

you look like Liam Neeson 😊😅

Yes, there are Motorcycle Gangs in Finland. In fact, I was just minding my business working at a fast food restaurant, when the police arrived to arrest one of my coworkers who apparently was pretty high up in Hell's Angels or an equivalent.

We have motorcycle gangs here in Finland. Hells Angels, Bandidos and few others are called procent gangs 'cause they have 1% mark on their leather vests. It means that one procent of motorcyclists are criminals. They wear color. Hells Angels are red and white, Bandidos are red and yellow (gold). Other "normal" motorcycle clubs wear black/white. Few years ago all Finnish gangs/clubs took pictures of their logos and design of their vests and created a database to internet for all to see. I know this 'cause my boyfriend was the president of one black/white club.

I prefer cat-videos.

Oh'noo,,therrible this,,very bad. Stubido man goo goo🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍✋💨💨💨💨💨

Starting of this video, driving took place in North part of Lauttasaari, in Helsinki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauttasaari

Spoiler alert in this comment! Yes, the residential area in the beginning of the video is Lauttasaari, then they go to Ruoholahti pass the district court of Helsinki and then back to Länsiväylä West bound. Then they were off to Espoo country side, which is not my backyard. But boy this biker could drive - craziest thing is that he had a passenger sitting on the bike. Man, this video is super intense, and I cannot imagine how stressfull and also physically challenging this ride must have been to the passenger. No wonder he or she did not have any energy left when the ride was over.

Two on vs. one....

I've managed to get away from police here in Finland many times by car, but its a thing everybody knows, you do not try to get away if the cop is ridin a bike. Not gonna work. With cars, they aint so good if you ask me

Yeah it's really hard to outrun police motorcycle but I have seen few videos where cop falls they are not easy to drive off road.

Sick speeds... 19:15 on this road, the cars they pass by, are going bit over 100km/h...

Weat of helsinki.... Espoo .............

The reason this specific motorcycle police started chasing this guy was that they had a powerful motorbike, and this policeman had the only possible bike to keep up with him.

This happened in the cities of Espoo and Helsinki. The beautiful scenery was the Gulf of Finland and its many bays that break the coastline. So it was all sea that we saw on the footage. The escapee obviously was carrying drugs when spotted. In the end he tried to lose the stuff in the tall grass, and that’s what the police were looking for. I don’t know if they actually found the package. Nevertheless, he got some serious consequences of the reckless and dangerous driving. Perhaps, if the drugs were not found, the sentence(s) were less than what they would have been with the drugs found on him. Especially if the amout was big enough.

the finnish police have ktm adv bikes for offroad chases and kawa h2sx bikes for others, they might have some other older bikes lying around but I mostly see the h2sx bikes in the cities

Police bikes are normal street bikes with police equipment, so they are slower than stock bikes.

what crime,,,, welll some bikerrs usually deal with drug traffiking and illegal guns. lol friend of mine has 8 years of jail for stuff like that

Hanko and Hangö in swedish like all the signs in Finland. The city is Helsinki at the beginning and soon turns into Espoo. And yes, it is the ocean.

I think it's quite early in the morning around midsummer, absolutely light but not much traffic at all...
