How to escape a Police Helicopter
Discussion
that was every episode of crimewatch for the last ten years, complete with photofits of you and a reconstruction of you swapping the van.
You'd need ocean's 11 style foxyness these days, like when you steal the money, you dress up as the securicor man, then stash the loot in the boot of the police car.
not sure of the next steps, but somewhere along the line you'd sleep with some tidy woman too

How do police dogs know what petty criminals smell like?
They don't....they just know that they taste like....chicken...Fried Chicken...and MacDonalds.As far as evading a police helicopter, your best bet is to look at the weather forecast, and choose a particularly filthy night - ideally, freezing fog changing to driving sleet, howling gales, cloudbase at the top of the windsock, embedded thunderstorms, hailstones the size of cricket balls and maybe the odd tornado report or two. You'll be laughing right up until the point your tweaked Uzi-Suzi-Stomper-Turbo-Evo XXVI getaway car goes round a corner at warp factor snot, demonstrating legendary levels of rally-bred roadholding, straight into a large fallen oak tree - and plod will come and collect your remains at their leisure.

I forgot to mention i commit the crime as a scottish black man complete with afro, i am a white southern man in reality.You'd need ocean's 11 style foxyness these days, like when you steal the money, you dress up as the securicor man, then stash the loot in the boot of the police car.

Crimewatch reconstrunctions will throw everyone off the scent.
Why not use the weather to your advantage?
Rob the bank on a foggy day
- Helicopter can't fly
- Fast motorbike to make the getaway past all the myopic numpties who can't drive when visability drops below 3 miles who hold up any chasing police cars.
- CCTV less effective
- suitable country lane in the middle of no-where to change vehicles

3 Dump the car outside a block of flat and run inside. There allot of nocking to do with 200 people living in the same place.
Police dogs don't need to knock on any doors.tomTVR said:
How fast are police helicopters? I reckon an RS6 at 4am on the M1 could outrun some of them. If not then at full chat it would probably empty its fuel tank faster than the car.
..
Probably quite a few cars capable of 150 plus, could out run a chopper.
Motorway would have to be empty.
You can manage 150 without too much effort, its when you get to 180 that the concentration has to be 200%
Right, here is my tuppence worth.
Do the Helicopters ever "catch" the crims? No! They direct the four wheel rozzers to your whereabouts.
We need to take cars out of the equation.
>Rob the bank (I assume that's everyones crime of choice, rather than a super secret special microchip that increaes BHP by 1000 and is usually only available via select outlets on ebay).
>Motorbike (fast one) to nearby river.
>Fast boat awaiting (the yellow one from baywatch if possible) takes you up river at high rate of knots.
>The wirly bird will now be in the sky and will follow river.
>Switch to small dingy as the river gets shallower.
>As you reach rural area abandon boat and head into the think forrect.
>Awaiting quad takes you to waiting car on the other side of forrest.
>Dump loot on route.
>Change clothes
>Head to new car with waiting outdoor gear, head back to forrest river for a walk/canoeing etc
They will never think it's you if your not trying to run away.

There was a clip on Police camera action a while back.
Basically it was a GSXR1000 out running all the police cars... In fact they were no where to be soon and could not keep up.
The helicopter was basically directing the cars onto the bike, but when asked for a speed by the ground units, the copter man could only say.. i have no idea.. but he is going faster than me!
He just parked his bike up and home and grabbed a tea... he got caught...
But it was one way to get away!

Little off topic,
We were all on the way back from North Wales, coming along the M56 past helsby, we were cruising 80 ish'
This 'bike' came past all for us at about 100 or so, so one of the mates gave a little chase, cought him, and passed him doing about 170 ish, then this 'rat bike' passed him at what must have been well over 200mph.
the other guy slowed down after a few seconds, and laughed when he opened his visor, pointing to a nitrous, on the big GSXR.
i'd hire the Black Eyed Peas to take The Police helicopter...then commit the crime whilst Glastonbury is on. evil genius me...

Surely an underground car park that connects to a busy shopping centre would work quite well. Assuming the Police aren't aware of your identity or hot on your tail then ditch the car, enter shopping centre, mingle casually, leave on foot.
Canary Wharf might be quite a good venue, high security aside the amount of people and easy access to tubes without venturing up to ground level might work in your favour. Not sure how you'd loose the Police on the way there though.

Bluewater would be good for this, all the car parks are open with no security barriers. You could enter the MSCP on the M&S side, straight into the centre. Maybe change clothes, or exchange loot with a pre-place accomplice, continue through shopping centre to John Lewis of HoF exits into a clean car and away onto the M2/M20 for Dover or M25 for Stanstead.

I think this thread qualifies to be published as 'tricks and tips - your onestop guide to police helicopter evasion'
Getting back on track if i were to do the perfect heist, i would hope that by the time the police or heli had been called into action i would be long gone, and here is how.........
Choose a bank in a town (not a city - this will minimise CCTV and i would suggest a town at least 100 miles from home)
Park a stolen white van with fake plates round the corner of the bank
Wait for securicor man
Relieve securicor of dosh before he enters bank
Run like hell to van. (At this point police are called)
Drive van calmly to nearby residential area. (Police at scene & looking for van)
Swap over to legit car, possibly your own family hatchback (Police still looking for van)
Drive calmly back through town (passing crime scene)
Get onto motorway (accomplases (sp!) bag up and clean weapons & balaclavas))
Stop off at mway service station (get bk and discretely dump baged up bits in bk bin)
Get home have a kip.
Never ever commit a crime again (incase dna and the like has turned up somewhere)
Spend cash on strippers / chav sluts
Those cash boxes are loaded with tamper paint pellets and cash is in recorded numbers. All easily traceable I'd imagine, think you need another target.

Seems the key issue is evading the initial pursuit cops long enough so the chopper coppers have no clue as to where you went.
Distraction and Diversion.
I'd suggest doing a job on the busiest shopping days of the year or near an open air concert or venue, you need something with lots of noise, people and above all...heat.
Open air concerts tend to have more manpower as security vs. cctv even then they're easily evaded.
So here's the cunning master plan cooked up in 3 minutes:
1) Call in bomb threat to local city council, (suspicious package to be found in nearby dust bin)
2) Call in bomb threat to one or more city hospitals. (harmless yet suspicious packages found nearby)
2b) Sabotage multiple electricity sub stations in the vicinity of your chosen area.
3) Police are now overstretched trying to deal with false situations.
4) Pull heist.
5) Set fire to crime scene, sprinkler systems will take care of things before they get out of hand but will make DNA discovery a lot harder with all the mess that's created.
6) Calmly Disrobe in one of several parked vans (suggest Merc sprinter jumbo) change into Tourista garbe, exit and step onto sight seeing tour bus.
7) Exit bus at your leisure in suitable tourist guise, take taxi to nearest concert timing it so that you arrive when thousands are exiting the venue. Mingle with crowd and walk calmly to your vehicle.
8) Drive off into the night for several hours, switch vehicles twice and board ferry/eurotunnel to France, meander your way to non extradition country and fence the loot somewhere along the way.
9) Wind up in the Costa del Crime/Sol missing the excitement of the old days and embellishing the details of how you got away with it.
10) Peer over shoulder for rest of your life...
