Dude didn't even try to light them up or pull a u-turn?.... Seems pretty odd.
*edit Turns out there was already an arrest in the car. And according to Agent Jean's and the late&great FedSmoker... YOU GOTTA FOLLOW PROTO!*
Prolly feathering it brother haha
Yes, you have to follow the protocol that's why he called it in since he is now responsible for the arrestee's life for however long they remain under his custody.
Such an odd place to find a YMH reference but you bet I’m coming up in may!
Touch my camera through the driver side window ya'll!
He had someone in the car for drunk driving for get this... the wrong way.
The way I drive, I look far and toggle my eyes, looking everywhere. I saw them coming around the corner before the officer saw them.
I remember something like this happened to me once but it was the cop going the wrong way. He was responding to an emergency and he was behind a a truck waiting for me to turn left so he jumped out from behind the truck and flipped his lights on I’m sure he didn’t see me either and thankfully on that 2 lane road there was a gas station next to me that didn’t have any barriers in the parking lot so I swerved real quickly into it and in the blink of an eye I was back on the road trying to process what just happened. Literally stuff like this amazes me how so many people text and drive and act like stuff like this never will happen because one moment you could be looking at your phone then the next moment you’ve smashed into a careless driver making a left turn or struck a pedestrian and when the cops find a phone was involved you’re immediately seen at fault
In high-school a friend of mine was hospitalized when cop, driving on the wrong side of a two lane road, no lights or sirens, hit her head on. She was cited for reckless driving.
That van was riding way too close if he was pushing the car in front.
Could of been road rage going down too.
Something fishy about that box truck tailgating the car heading the wrong way.
I'd have flipped around my patrol car and gone after.
Who cares about the dude in handcuffs in back seat.
Lol
That's what I'm saying! Looks like an attempted kidnapping/stalking, or Road rage.
So he’s not gonna turn around and go pull them over or see what’s going on? Wow!
My thoughts too. He just calls it in to the police. Lol. Maybe they will handle it. Lol SMH.
He had an ongoing arrest in his car according to the reports
"while transporting a DUI suspect to jail "
That’s crazy. Some people have all the luck. Whoever was driving the wrong way needs to play the lottery.
There’s a 0% chance that I could’ve gotten away with that when I can’t even turn out of a parking lot onto an empty road without getting pulled over
Years ago my husband & I were out driving about 3:30 am out in Llano/Burnet county in Tx. & we had a pick up truck that we passed by that was sitting at a rest area.... Well when we drove by him after we'd passed him, he pulled out onto the highway & started to fallow us..... When he caught up he start tailgating us, than he kept trying to pass him my husband wouldn't let him pass us up..... Anyways I think the guy thought that there was only one of us in the truck & once he realized there were two of us he immediately got off of the highway & left.... Of course this was about 28yrs ago, so we didn't have a cell phone at that time.... But later on we called the Burnet County & Llano county sheriff's deptmnts & told them what had happened.... But the way that van is on the cars bumper makes me believe he's trying to run that guy off of the road having I'll intentions..... Be careful out there people are crazy.....
Definitely wouldn't fly with Pinellas County Deputies.. just ask the officer that was almost killed saving thousands of lives from a wrong way driver approaching the Skyway bridge during a run- a - thon for a charity..
Don't let that amazing officer go unnoticed!
True meaning of TO PROTECT AND TO SERVE!
van was a shunt vehicle pushing a stolen car(a shunt vehicle is used to push a stolen car that cannot be started)
Good job not turning around and letting them proceed LOL
"Really"--what's he got, a drunk ride along or was that the prisoner talking? LOL
He just calls it in?! Do you think maybe that is something worth pursuing yourself???
You sound drunk
He listened to you and turned around and started pursuit...he crashed, killing the citizen in thebackseat. The family sued and won $23 million, and the officer lost his job, pension and is in prison. Police are still looking for the 2 cars. Happy now?
Seeing this is like most weeks riding my bicycle...close.
YIKES!
Why didn’t they, I don’t know, go after them?!
"while transporting a DUI suspect to jail"
He had to stick to his protocol and bring the guy to jail first, before doing anything else
Two vehicles would almost have me convinced I missed the One Way~Do Not Enter sign.
I've seen a lot of people say the cop should have stopped and turned around.
He had a DUI arrested in the back of his car, and it would not only be against protocol to pursue, but extremely dangerous. There's no seatbelts in there.
2 cars driving wrong way is dangerous, but 3 is even more dangerous. Better to call it in so police can set up a roadblock to diver traffic
Thank you for the content cuz I was thinking the same thing he said stop turn his lights on and chase them but it makes sense that he didn't cuz of the prisoner in the back of the car thank you
Or turn around and hop back on the highway following them while traveling in the correct direction with their lights on. That would have alerted other drivers to the danger and helped other offi era track down the offenders in real time without the officer actually having to engage.
BS, could of turned and followed and put the lights on and waited for another patrol to back up. If they fled, that would of been another situation.
There are seatbelts in the back seat. And there has been videos of a cop with an arrest, stopping another and holding them until backup arrives
@@Saanonymous80 you ever ridden in a cop car my dude?
So it's ok to drive like that now in Tampa!
What possible excuse could the LEO have?
Who pays that cop???
Doesn't bust a U with his lights on to warn other drivers?
The elderly drivers in the Tampa area are so dangerous !!!!! Totally handicapped, can't stay in their lane, entering major roads without yielding to traffic, I'm dodging them on the road every day...
A van following that close, Looks to me like a kidnapping about to happen. the cop should have made an attempt
Lol just keeps rolling away
Must have been end of shift and a cold one was waiting for him…why no pursuit
What a great cop didn't even stop 🙄🙄🙄
"while transporting a DUI suspect to jail "
He wasn't allowed to stop if he's transporting someone :)
This could have very well been a trafficking ring going on. The van may have been following that car to kidnap the occupant, especially that they were not only going the wrong way but the van was tailgating.
Those drivers don't read sign language?🥴
Why's he not flipped it round and gone after them code 3?
Why didn't you do you turn and follow them.
As a retired poelice wit over tirty five
years service i must sa
Wow! This happened to me once. The NJ state trooper ( directly in front of me) took the hit, he was ok) AN elderly man became confused on an exit ramp. I stopped, to be with the man and the officers until EMT units arrived. The officers possibly saved my life.
if the cop didn't die let alone injured, why do you think you would have? lmao
@@OnceShy_TwiceBitten cop cars are way more protected than regular everyday vehicles, that's why the other car always has significantly more damage the the cops car.
@@OnceShy_TwiceBitten Police vehicles, especially patrol pursuit vehicles, have body reinforcements and push bars. They are significantly hardier against front-end collisions than a regular passenger car.
@@aaronmdjones NO there not. They are just reg crown vics or what ever. They may the the "police package" but this consists of drive train improvements. NOTHING to the body. Just an added pushbar at most.
Why didn’t the Cop turnaround and pursue them?
I think he was transporting someone
He had much bigger things going on
You cannot see the situation... If he has cars behind for example, density of the traffic, if he has colleagues behind, etc... So it's difficult to answer... But there must be a better answer than you imagine 😉
He called on Jesus Christ at the last second 🤣
@@alexislebienheureux1459 the only reason I think he’s transporting someone is he was talking to someone that appeared to be in the back but it could be any matter of reasons
Drones and magnetic GPS trackers, could eliminate 90% of dangerous police chases
I was transporting a patient with my partner in the back. I entered a two lane highway going northbound and was getting up to speed when a car behind me tried to overtake me on my left when I noticed a set of headlights in front of me in the left lane and I had no time to react. The wrong way vehicle went head on with the vehicle trying to pass me at highway speed. It happened directly next to my ambulance, the passing vehicle had nowhere to go. He lived, the wrong way driver didn't.
They were towing the van
Apparently this cop doesn't do u-turns
Why didn't they turn around and get um
2Fast2Furious2Dumbs 🤕🤕🤕🤕
I hate that road! There is no way to tell if someone is coming or going. You can’t see other drivers. I was going 45 the speed limit on that express and somone going 120 mph came up behind me and almost sent me over the side and I would have perished. He swerved to not run into me and when he swerved back I saw him swerving into to me and just about clip me through my peripheral vision. So I instantly braked to slow and moved to the right to avoid being clipped. I hate that express! It’s a death trap!
the speed limit is never 45 on the expressway, getting off maybe. it's 55 and 65 in some areas. I drive it to work almost everyday
Seriously? Drug and ETOH testing. Wtf?
He has a prisoner in the back that's why he couldn't chase them right
Police kept it moving. haha didnt even turn around. So lazy
He already has someone arrested in the back seat which means he can't chase them and has to just call it in.
Wow do your job flip around with lights and sirens. You just keep going .that was cleary road rage and they dump off into more traffic..love paying for your job.
Yeah, but... Some of this is bad road design and signage. If you look at the historical numbers re. accidents and arrests, some on-ramps -- especially older ones -- need to be reconfigured or lit up like Christmas in order for people to not be confused on a regular basis.
But why the cop didn't turn around to chase the driver!
made ZERO try to stop or turn abound WTF
I would need a pair of boxers after that 🧐🧐🧐
Reasons why not to visit Florida:
It only happen in Florida? Or in the US?
And there is plenty of reasons to go to Florida... Way better than going to New-York for example
@@alexislebienheureux1459 with a last name like that, are you from Louisiana?!
@@TheRealHungryJoe florida is probably one of the better states, excluding our hellish heat
@@TheRealHungryJoe no I am french living in Asia but I love America and Americans 🙂🙏
Le bienheureux means "the happy guy". It's a nickname people gave me because I never show my problems and I always look for solutions to a problem instead of complaining. Maybe I got some American genes 😁
Good. Don’t come here.
Why would he not turn around?
CMC King 👑 does not approve 😆
His partner must of been sleeping. He said, "really?" lmao!
It was someone in back seat who was arrested
Absolutely hilarious how y'all are ignorantly focused on tailgating.. y'all definitely missin' the big picture here.. 🤡🙈
Some comments are spewing ignorance
EDIT: I thought this was a different video entirely! My bad.
The people in the vehicle ahead of this first responder (I don’t think he was a police officer), were attempting to trap him by stopping in a narrow tunnel and likely going to attempt to rob him while being armed. I saw this on Instagram about a week ago
no he was definitely a police officer…
you’re thinking of a completely different video filmed in mexico. i saw it too. you’re not even close though dude
He had a suspect in the back. They can't put his life in danger by chasing after them the wrong way
@@onlyxans6920 oh yeah you right. I didn’t watch more than a few seconds of this video it looked like the exact same video. My bad 😅
@@Externity2 you right 😆 I thought this was a different video
So we just gonna act like it didn’t happen? 😂😂
This is 100% Hillsborough county's fault . The way they have laid out the ramps on your side of the road , so it looks like a off ramp but is going the opposite direction. No real signs that say wrong way . Easy to go up one of these ramps especially at night when traffic is slow , so you don't see the flow. I would say about 50 people a year are killed in this area alone from these ramps
Multiple wrong way sign at that entrance.
@@tristan2332 the fact the ramp is on your side of the road and heads in the same direction is the problem. Pretty easy to miss a 1x1 wrong way sign in the middle of the night . Head on collision in Tampa from the same thing are way too active
@@thomasmatarazzo198 Yea it's not a good design...they should remove that little side exit to the left and just make you do a u turn on 78th.
So you'd rather just radio ahead & hope you don't get a call to go clean up a crime scene instead of turning around quickly, throwing lights & sirens on and preventing a fatality? Nah rather just nonchalantly head to the donut shop..... no wonder no one has any respect for cops anymore 🤦
Just like no one has respect for you.
