Running from police is stupid, but this suspect in a Dodge Challenger does something even dumber and pays the price. He doesn’t just run from his local police but instead tests out Georgia State Patrol, who are notorious for pitting out fleeing cars at high speeds. It’s a horrible idea.
Watch a cop bust a sheriff for speeding.
In the dashcam footage, a trooper sits in his blacked out car on the side of a highway in the Savannah area, looking for speeders. He gets a hit with a gray Dodge Challenger going 88 mph. for most people, that means pulling over and taking a ticket, then doing online traffic school.
But once the driver sees the trooper behind him with his lights going, instead of pulling over he floors it. In no time he’s going 134 mph and weaving through traffic, obviously trying to lose the cop.
Usually, when this happens the suspect either has warrants for his arrest or has drugs in the car.
As the suspect exits the highway and takes to city surface streets the danger soars. After all, with intersections, narrower roads, and regular citizens traveling slower, the risk of a serious accident multiplies drastically.
The trooper at one point has a close call with one innocent motorist. As he’s blasting down a straightaway, trying to keep up with the Challenger, two cars are in the left lane. The trooper is in the right, lights and sirens active, when the lead car suddenly decides to go into the right lane, probably after hearing the approaching siren.
Thankfully, the trooper is able to squeeze past, but the move almost caused a serious accident.
When the GSP trooper finally catches up with the fleeing Dodge, it’s on a larger road with a concrete wall in the median. The trooper wastes no time pitting the suspect out, sending the Challenger into the wall backwards as it bounces against it repeatedly, almost like the muscle car is doing some weird dance.
Don’t run from Georgia troopers – that’s the lesson.
Sure enough, according to the trooper’s report, there was an illicit substance in the Mopar. By running from police instead of just pulling over, the kid made things even worse.
