Some egos are so large that people can’t resist bragging, even when it means handing police more evidence of their crimes. That appears to be the case with a 20-year-old Mustang driver in Indiana who boasted to officers about reaching 170 mph during a chase.
Volunteering such an admission only strengthens the case against you. The driver’s boastful confession is a textbook example of how ego and poor judgment can deepen a suspect’s legal troubles after a reckless run.
