    If you’re willing to run, have a plan, and have a wicked motor vehicle, chances are you can get away. I think the infamous ‘ghost rider’ was never caught, despite him literally releasing/selling vhs tapes of himself running from the cops, and doing it for years. He gave it up because of boredom and the possibility of getting hurt costing more than he was bringing in.

    A motorcycle is probably easier to hide than a red race car though, so maybe they had some additional tricks they pulled.

        Oh, no idea. I just remember the videos back when youtube was still relatively niche. They were always little clips of him baiting the cops and losing them in seconds on an onramp and such.

          Ah ok…yeah there was a full length movie I got off someone on LAN, after I saw the short clips, with him doing the bike stuff but also driving around in his Subaru (I think?) even getting away from a helicopter. But I don’t know whether that was actually him or another random driver that got included. It was in Sweden so possibly him…
