How to escape a Police Helicopter

their top speed in ideal conditions is around 140mph, less if there is a head wind, and at top speed they don't last long on fuel. If you got on a fast motorway and had a car capable of 200mph or so you could out run one quite easily i'd imagine.

So I drive my Noble up the big road at 200 mph, then park in a big car park with lots of other cars, they'll never spot it, wish id thought of that.

Yeah, a laser. That would be cool.

FFS, you need to work on your terminology.

It's a "Frickin Laser". Get it right man!

if on a bike (Asuming no ground crews or no one got your plate. .) High speed to a busy biker cafe park up with other bikes mingle with people etc

Use a somebody else's Noble surely?

I would suggest making a full body suit out of those wine cooler bags you put in the freezer. Finish the job, pull the cold body suit out of a cool box and disappear into the woods (obviously in the dark). Thermal imaging camera won't have a chance.

I suppose this is true, no worries. I am currently day dreaming about the ariel battle I'm having in my laser equipped helicopter battle pod against the fuzz. I've just reached the point where I'm having to seduce the PVC cat suit clad, hot, 20 something brunnette female police officer in an attempt to escape.



It's a slow day in the office...

[Crusoe]

keep a 8000m down suit in the car just encase

[posterboy]

can someone please confirm the airport no-fly zone?

I believe very thick wooded areas don't transmit heat signals too well, so a large conifer forest might do you.

They use IR cameras for S&R around the coast/rivers, so I don't think jumping in a lake would be too wise, not until your body temperature lowers, at which point you'll have difficulty just staying alive.

Of course the real pain is finding someone under cover/ground to drive into that doesn't have CCTV either inside it, or covering the exits, because you can be sure that if the police have bothered to scramble the chopper, and you're not stopping, they'll also have the towns CCTV on stand by too.

On Tomorrow's World they once demonstrated a suit (not James Bond) that could stop heat escaping, thus making you nearly invisible to IR cameras.

Go near a busy airport, air force base, or any other restricted airspace, by the time they have got permission (thats if they even can) you will be gone.

A friend of mine once went on a long and very slow run from the Police around Bentham on the Lancashire/North Yorkshire border.

He'd been drinking heavily and wouldn't pull over for the Police when he left town, so he flew away at 30mph and proceeded to keep stopping, waiting for the Police to run up to the car, then setting off again.

Eventually he took his Range Rover off roading. This went on long enough that the Police helicopter had to go away and refuel.

Sadly it came back and managed to find him hiding behind a wall on the top of some moorland.

Anything with a roof, multistory car parks, shopping centres, etc. Would have to be quick to escape cctv though.

so, this is it then: you jump in your 200mph supercar burn down to heathrow, park up in the multistorey, and jump on a plane to the bahamas.

I'm OUTTA HERE!!

Would lining your clothes with one or two of those thermal blankets not work sufficiently well to reduce your heat signature to an acceptably small level?

You could do this on the cheap, but you'd look a right tw*t running down the high street wrapped up in a whole roll of Tesco Value tin foil.

[Fetchez la vache]

or fly away in another but FASTER helecopter

[Omertron]

Could you fire a few firework rockets at them? That'd probably distract them whilst you put on the body suit / warm up the area and confuse the IR sensors

[Crusoe]

plus it wouldn't work, cameras can see clearly down to a 1 degree variance I believe, foil would heat up in seconds.
