We’ve seen street racers not realize a cop is behind them and engage in a roll race before, but those almost always end badly for at least one of them. But in the dashcam footage we’re sharing, you see a California Highway Patrol officer follow street racers as they roll three times in a row, then dust the cop at over 120 mph.
Mustang driver passes away in alleged street racing incident.
Spotting the obvious sign of street racers about to go head-to-head on the highway, the CHP officer speeds up and gets behind a BMW M4 and Toyota Supra right before they both take off. Of course, the officer tries keeping up, but he doesn’t stand a chance.
However, he sort of catches up again as the two cars decide to have a rematch. Once again, the CHP officer gets dusted. He keeps reporting his position and asks for backup.
Then a third race begins, this time between the M4, an Audi, and a third car that might be a Mercedes, but we’re not entirely sure because of the lighting and pixelation. As those three take off down the highway, that’s when CHP decides to spring its trap.
The only problem is they can’t keep up and all three cars eventually get away as the pursuit leaves the highway and takes to surface streets. As the one CHP officer locks onto the BMW M4, he pulls up behind it as the suspect is trapped behind a bus at a red light.
But the officer just sits there with lights and sirens going until the light turns green and the suspect blasts off, eventually giving him the slip.
People are commenting how the whole situation would’ve been over had these street racers been pursued by Arkansas State Police, Georgia State Patrol, or Florida Highway Patrol, especially when the Bimmer was stopped. What do you think? Did CHP not go hard enough to stop these street racers?
