Why run from the Police these days ?
Discussion
A long long time ago, armed with a motorcycle when the police cars were generally Austin Allegros, some friends would occasionally wind police officers up and not stop etc.
But today, with all the cameras, helicopters, and the Police driving real cars, why do people think they are going to get away ?
It was this in my local press that made me think why ?

I thought he was 33 Stone!Once the helicopter is up you are done for - the only way to beat one of those is to ride like a TT racer, and even then the heli can just cut the corners, so your only chance is to end the pursuit before that is a possibility - there is only two ways to do that, ride or drive like an utterly insane nutter and force them to stop the pursuit for public safety, or lose touch without them seeing which way you went immediately.
In either case, you are stuffed if they have your registration number, as they can just track you down from that.
In short, if they really try to stop you, it is impossible on paper.
Bikes are out as a pursuit evasion vehicle because the slightest mistake and you'll be in the scenery, and a car is out because it just cannot be fast enough in a real situation.

I'm sure if you had your wits about you, you would have a decent chance of evading the police.
The problem is, anyone who does have their wits about them generally isn't the sort of person who needs too.
If you've driven past a cop car whilst going well over a ton I suppose you may as well plant the throttle, get off the motorway at the next opportunity and go park your car in a village. Then walk off to the nearest pub and go drink a lemonade. But if you've got plod behind you and they know who you are, what's the point?

Why bother "get away". You only get a slap on the wrist as a punishment with our current laws........
Exactly this. That's certainly my impression of our 'justice' system. Police officers calling scum 'mate' and carefully ensuring their heads don't get caught on the door aperture as they ease them into the back of patrol cars etc. It's an absolute joke.
