How to escape a Police Helicopter

[jeff m]

Plan your robbery to coincide with a marathon or other mass event.
The safest place for a human to hide is amonst other humans.
Booting it at 150 plus on a motoway will attract attention even if you are not escaping from a crime.

Now paying somebody else to drive up the motorway at 150 plus would make sense.
Probably get it done for free on here.
There's no way your car does 150 ok, prove it tonight on the M5

A shoulder fired 'Stinger' should handle it. Most of the ground units will be re-dispatched to the downed helicopter.... of course you'll still have to deal with the 4 or 5 Media choppers that have tagged along with it...

Easiest way to escape it, is not get spotted by it.
Distract the choppers attention, with a fake 99 call.

"Hello, police? Some bd's just sold me a dodgy icecream!"

Yep, that'll work.

Hypothetically speaking... What is the best way to evade a Police Helicopter?

A Mig 27.

Anyway, what's that odd helicopter picture above?
i used to have toys of them

It's from the film Blue Thunder. Or in the real world a Gazelle with a few bits glued on.

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.

How do police dogs know what petty criminals smell like?

That's not how they work, they pick up the scent of a trail the person leaves when they disturb what they are walking/running on.

Not always true. There are now specialist teams using the 'scent detection method', which has been used in Scandania for some years.

I have seen demos where they track through a crowded street, and where they drape a sterile, soft absorbent cloth over the window edge a burglar has climbed over and then give it to the dog to follow. Sniffing the drivers's seat some sweaty nervous car thief has just got out of is, by comparison a piece of dog pis5.

They can follow an old, walked over trail for hours after the evenet.

This thread probabl;y ampunts to conspiracy to rob, or something.

My tube train idea still works then, Deputy Dawg wouldn't be able to tell you which train I got on.

[Tonto]

Solution is simple,,,,, use an invisible car. Like this one.










There is a slight problem with this, anyone spotted it yet?

Yep.

Used to be drive to Heathrow or any large airport and then park in a multi storey , when i lived in Uxbridge we had a huge amount of police chases go past our place , told this was why

This is the only way to be sure as helicopter will not get clearance to enter this airspace till your long gone.

I'd beg to differ - if you look at the Class A airspace around Heathrow, it's a big lozenge shaped lump stretching from Maidenhead in the West, Clapham in the East, as far as Beaconsfield in the North and Woking to the South - and that Slough is well within it - and frankly, given the amount of criminal activity in Slough on the average day, it's police helicopter city most of the time - frankly, I don't know why they don't just base one on the trading estate, as it would save a lot of avtur. The only areas that they get twitchy about are on the ILS centerline close in to Heathrow, and there are plenty of Plod With Guns In Cars around that part of the world anyway.

OK, various tunnel scenarios. Assuming you have pre-planned this:

1.Enter tunnel.Stop.Switch to another car you dumped earlier. Drive out.
or
2.Enter tunnel.Stop.Change direction 180degrees. Drive out, in opposite direction at normal speed limit.
or
3.Mini-Cooper with Union Jack paint job on roof. Enter tunnel, stop, rip off vynyl decoy flag. Carry on.

These are more successful if lots of other cars travelling through tunnel at same time, either members-of-public, or your stooges.

The first getaway car needs to be a Mk1 Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec in silver, legitimately owned by someone, taxed and insured and not recorded as stolen to avoid being picked up by ANPR. Then stick some cloned plates over the top of the legit ones (from the same kind of car) ready for the heist. Drive to large MSCP (Bluewater is a good shout) as close as possible to the location of the job where you park up and remove the false plates from the car, while dumping your disguise and any weapons in the boot or under the seats. Stick one of those nasty 'Babe on Board' things in the rear screen, lock the car and lock it up. The Police will be driving round for hours trying to find the car amongst all the other silver Focii once the 'hot' plates are removed giving you time to escape, assuming you drove aggressively enough to stop the cars following too closely due to 'health and safety' rules.

Switch to another anonymous car, again with legit plates, drive to another MSCP (or even another floor of this one) and change cars again in case anyone saw the first change. Head off towards Dover and jump on a ferry using a stolen ID and passport and away to freedom.

Our copper chopper is parked at the end on the runway at Humberside Airport which is conveniently placed at the side of the road. I'd have the chopper vandalised before the job kicked off.

The estimated price of the Phoenix is $78 million.

hmmm better make sure you steal something worth a few quid.

If you're trying to avoid the Police chopper, it aint going to be because you nicked a Mars Bar from the local shop.....you may aswell go the whole hog.

In Essex the police helicopter is sent up if someone farts out of tune.

there are *way* bigger ones than that...

No way would a single pilot'ed aircraft continue with this kind of threat, blind the pilot, they are gone.

[R5GTTGaz]

Do they carry firearms on the helicopter?

[anonymous-user]

3 ways.. Drive a scubby like this guy.. The 'Ghost Rider', bit of a dick..

'http://www.totallycrap.com/magazine/22_minutes_of_subaru_sti_madness/'

Or use flares if at night will kill the InfaRed Camara, the army use them and then turn you lights off.

Or cover car in heat reflective material at night

an Electric car at night

Helicopter have araound 2 hours air time so drive longer than this
