| Damn. I had one get away today! Well, not completely. The guy had just managed to elude police on a big four stroke dirt bike when I joined in from the air. The perp dumped the bike in a corn field and would have gone to ground until he realized that I had him in plain sight from above. He then left the bike and proceeded on foot to a canal and I lost him in thick trees as the K-9 units showed up. No luck. He managed to get up or down stream and get away. Did I mention I have a swell new dirt bike? Along with a license plate? This guy is toast. All for a failure to yield (there may have been more to it but they don't always tell me everything). Planerench out. |

| If it's one things COPS has taught me it's that when you see the flashin lights just pull over and deny deny deny. You're not going to outrun po-po and when they catch you you're just going to have more stuff tagged onto what was originally a no blinker on a turn ticket. |

That's kinda funny. You need to try and post some pics of these chases. Funny Story: A few weeks ago there was a guy in this big city trying to elude the police. They searched for over 45 minutes and no luck. They suspected he was under a mobile home in a big park but no luck with helicopter (FLIR) or K-9. Later I heard the police helicopters talking on 123.025 to each other. They got a call from a citizen that saw the guy about 2 miles north of where he was last seen. The citizen said he was real filthy and they saw him crawl out from underneath a trailer,  The police, K-9, and heli went back for another 45 minutes, but again, came up emtpy!
