This may give you second thoughts about running from the police.

I would run always on a bike. You have to think about the mustang video. In the video they kept ramming into his rear and he would do a 360

I was once forced to do so because the nice police officer put his spot light right on my helmet and blinded the crap out of me, as we crossed going opposite directions I looked back and noticed not only he made a mistake he wanted to pull me over, well I did not give him the taste so gave my bike some gas and made the first right then some more gas. I headed home upset but if I would of stopped I would of gone to jail for assaulting an officer.

My brother and I were doing 130 in his Supra. Cop tagged us with laser at 1800 ft. He had his lights on before we even got up to him. We pulled over and took the hefty fine, or should I saw, HE did

I think he got a ticket and was not arrested as courtesy for not taking the cop down the Mass Pike at 130+ on a Friday night.
