This is a perfect example for why the UK stopped allowing motorbike police chases. Because whatever crime they've committed, it doesn't justify putting the lives of every other road user and pedestrian at risk. And as another commenter stated the cop was likely doing it for the lulz (and adrenaline rush) as much as the chased.

Some pretty impressive riding overall. Especially with a pillion and that small bike.
Yeah sure is.
I remember in that Senna documentary he talks about feeling "close to god" when he's locked in. This video looks something like that.
Like all the work has been offloaded to the GPU which is calculating velocity and trajectory and reacting to other objects. The CPU is just along for the ride.
I guess stupid is impressive to some.
By far the most shocking part of this video was that it ended with a gentle tip over instead of 2-3 meat crayons
The video is sped up.
Holy crap! That was exciting. Way better than Hollywood. Not that I condone this or anything but I was kind of disappointed they didn't get away. The way they slowed it down for the close calls. Very compelling.
I wouldn't say it's misused if tou run away from violend corrupt people with guns. Or are you talking about the pig?
I have to wonder what these people did to warrant such a dangerous chase.
That is stupid as shit. Could've killed someone over nothing.
The problem is, you don't often find out why they're running until you catch them. He could have been wanted for murder for all we know.
Is it worth nearly killing several people to catch someone who's done "something"?
In many countries this is considered to be irresponsible on the police's part. Society isn't an 80s American cop show.
I'm sorry but that's bullshit. Unless they are actively suspected for committing a serious crime, there's no way this chase is justified.
It's not worth risking the lives of innocent bystanders just because some unknown individual didn't stop.
So the law depends on how fast you can evade capture. Good luck with that.
Hold on. Do you think it's legal to speed away from a police officer just because they don't pursue you in a highspeed chase through a highly populated area?
That is still illegal. But in civilised countries the police will abort the chase due to concerns of public safety. It's not worth an innocent bystander being killed as a result of the chase. That doesn't mean the crime of fleeing goes away.
Questions?
Incredibile skills on both riders. Introduce these people to Carlo Pernat!
Took 20 minutes to see 1:30min of video, The lemmy is really not adapted to video, now I am pissed and feel like I missed out even if it's totally not important. I am starting to hate tech sooooo much !
Worked great on voyager app
I am using Voyager. It seems to work well now. I am using the same home wifi connection with nothing else. Might have been a server/route issue since everything else was working normally. I even speed tested earlier and everything was showing normal. But I seem to see it often with videos hosted on lemmy servers.
That sounds odd. It loaded without issue for me on mobile and on my desktop.
are you using a VPN? the video is from catbox.moe, sometimes they block VPNs
No and anything else loads fine just some video on some lemmy servers. It's laughable to see a 140P video lag like crazy when we worked out video streaming like 20 years ago.
I just believe the server was overloaded since it worked fine later, and on my side everything was fine, the speed test showed no issues too.
Thank you! I'm using boost and this worked for me.
video doesn't load anymore... 🙄
Currently working in the Netherlands.
This looks sped up
please don't die, please don't die, please don't die
Happy ending. Thank goodness... I was invested.
I feel like both parties were just doing this for the lulz
Cop couldve rammed them a hundred times but simply kept slowing down every time he got close. I guess this was the least violent outcome so good job lol
Ramming them while he's on a bike too would have been a terrible idea as he'd have come off too. He did the right thing by just following, tracking them until they dismounted either intentionally or otherwise.
Cop has a clearly bigger bike, given the skill he displayed I think pulling up and kicking them off was definitely an option.
Like others said you cant really ram someone on a bike.
The game is just to keep pressure on them until they make an error, which they did.
When they're zipping through those tiny alleys it was inevitable that sooner or later theyd get blocked in or have to climb some stairs or something.
Way back when I was in school a kid tried ramming me on my bike with his, he learned very quickly why that's not a great idea. The rammer will completely lose steering and end up ass over tea kettle the second his front tire touches the other bike. The other bike will be fine unless you also get his front tire, in which case you both will go down.
Only thing the cop could have done is get in front of the other bike and cut it off, hitting the other bike's front tire with his back tire. That would keep him stable and cause the other guy to bite it, which is very dangerous to even try and can really go wrong quick.
Good edit.
You mean the cop, or the guy trying his hardest to kill his passenger?
From what I hear, most women would be happy just to have a guy without topless muscle photos on tinder
