Los Angeles used to have a service you could subscribe to where you'd get a push notification that a police chase had started so you could watch.

*me, drinking juice* ooo! New episode! *watches first few seconds* how do they know?!?

you know... around here police are actively trained to NOT engage in car chases at all (im pretty sure they arent even allowed to do so)... if someone fleeing gets into a car and speeds away, you track them from a safe distance and engage them when they move to some context where engaging them isnt an immediate hazard to themselves, the police and everyone around... like... when they stop somewhere and leave the car

ACAB! I truly can’t watch this one. Trauma from my brother and I being raided like we were cartel shot callers for growing weed. It was 2012 to be clear. But the cops wanted and equipped themselves to kill us! Fuck all of them. Thanks for the awesome content. I’ll watch the next one.

One time the cops knocked on our door and my brother went to answer it. As soon as he was at the door, they knocked it in with one of those massive poles. My brother was thrown back, hit his head, and my dad stood up. We were all in the living room. I remember the dog was going crazy as they held my screaming dad down on the floor while they searched and raided the house. They didn't find anything. Know why? They had the wrong house. I was really young but I will always remember it. My dog hated anyone with ball caps after that.

My mom's best friend died when a police car t-boned her as it was chasing a suspect.

A kid at my highschool became a cop, and when asked why he replied, "I'm sick of people pushing me around, I won't let that happen again" (Paraphrased). I know it's an anecdote, but I think it's a significant anecdote.

I gotta say, as a lifelong Hawaii resident, I really appreciate that whenever my tiny state is mentioned on SMN, there is always an obvious attempt to separate the counties we have here, which is something very very few out of state journalistic and news sources choose to do. For example, most people would hear“HPD” and assume “Hawaii police department “ but you made the distinction of that being Honolulu Police Department. Which is a very important thing as the differences in crime statistics from Honolulu to the other islands is… vast. Using Honolulu as a metric for all of Hawaii would be like using Oakland as a metric for all of California. *this is not to say my local police department, on Maui, is without massive fault. Looking at you officer Saffeels, who is doing time for offering to let female drivers out of tickets in exchange for sex.

I object to calling a 66 year-old an "old lady" but otherwise...fucking Christ in a feeding trough cops suck so bad! I walk a lot and nothing scares me more than being passed by a cop with its siren on. I usually turn down a different road or get myself behind something solid.

Here we have speeding cameras on the road, you get a letter with a very unattractive picture of you looking bored behind the wheel and information on how fast you were going, when and where, and what sum you have to pay to what account to settle this. Germany just kills all of the fun with its bureaucracy... at least, this is an area where I'm very happy with the boring bureaucratic alternative!

It's true. It's completely avoidable: don't flee the police and they aren't going to chase you.
