"Don't do this" would be my advice but free advice is worth... blah blah

A SoCal news channel covers a pursuit of a motorcycle. Dime a dozen but this gets a fair amount of real time coverage because of helos in the areas. Pretty basic stuff although enough to cluck tongues over. Note the difference in behavior on surface streets vs highway. This doesn't appear to me to be his first rodeo.

I do like the CHP aplomb at ending it. The suspect gives up but WTH. That unit had the advantage of not actually being in the pursuit but being on the periphery. Had it been somebody active in the pursuit making the arrest our hero rider might not have faired so well. Unfortunately adrenaline can make you crazy.

It's about 20:50 long and pretty much same-o same-o up until it draws to a close as ~20:33 for anybody who wants to skip ahead.

Fun for the whole family:


And that's how we do it in L.A. No cops or citizens – hurt crook in custody.

No they didn't say that but it would have been great if they did. Not even a ^5 after hooking him up.

Not every story has a happy ending.
