What a shame there was a gutless supervisor that denied permission to pit several times in the beginning of the pursuit. Instead they put hundreds of lives at risk for dozens of miles.
@@charliekilo3 Yes but it takes to long to park, jump out and grab them, take them out of their case and deploy them across multiple lanes. Not to mention, they had no idea he was going to U-Turn
@@zacharyjones7948 It doesn't take that long when the cops are already sitting along the route the car was traveling. With constant radio communication and a multitude of police vehicles, they can steer the car into the spike strip locations. It certainly doesn't take as long as the chase took and would have been much better than what they did here. They have spike strips that you can lay out in advance and actuate them at any time you need to. These cops need better options than what they did in this case.
For those who don't know, "54" or "10-54" means negative. During that first U-Turn you hear the lead cop ask to PIT again and he gets denied. Unbelievable. 4:45 for anyone looking
@@The_North0 Ummm... maybe to get it back and hopefully catch the perpetrators so they don't take advantage of other good citizens? Idk just a thought lmao
Ridiculous they didn't pit him when he did the first u turn. Tens in thousands of damage to others cars after that missed opp not to mention how bad things could have gotten.
A couple takeaways: 1) civics can take some abuse 2) the driver and lead officer are some impressive drivers 3) shame on the commanding officer for denying the early pit request when there were many opportunities which led to putting many people in danger
4) The hability of the officer in his much bigger car staying close to the Civic in that traffic conditions shows he was a better driver than the kid in the civic.
That supervisor second-guessing his patrol officer and denying the PIT while they were at low speed and getting off of the highway is a demonstration of your liability-concerned department actually creating MORE danger by not intervening in the pursuit earlier.
supervisor said he wanted a k9 nearby when he does it, by the time the k9 got up there they were weaving in and out of that heavy traffic. dude was protecting his guys and his department, trooper couldnt even tell if his agency was taking over and you want his sup to OK a pit? lmao
@@jrregan just say you dont know shit about policy, insurance, departments, public opinion and keep your mouth shut? go bitch and whine to the supervisor? you know what id appreciate? if you had any kind of reading comprehension. the sup doesnt even know if its their pursuit at that point because the lead car couldnt answer him. why tf would he ok a pit if he doesnt have that info yet????
They would rather blame the death of innocent motorists on the criminal as opposed to have the heat come down on the PD if the PIT didn't go as planned. Simple as that.
@@DroneStrike1776 The entire point of having someone at the station make these calls is because it's a lot lower stress when you're just listening to a radio. The guys in the field constantly make stupid decisions because they're in hunt mode and all they smell is blood, so those decisions get pushed up the chain to someone else who's not in the thick of it. The call was pretty typical and had nothing to do with the sex of the person involved. Even if there was some good evidence to support the notion that girls can't make high-stress decisions as well as dudes, it wouldn't apply in this low-stress situation where it's pretty well preordained by regs. In retrospect, it would have been better to PIT early, but the supervisor didn't necessarily know how things were going to go down at that point. I did see a couple other places where a PIT would probably have been safe enough, but the supervisor can't be sure in time to okay it in the moment, and the entire point of supervisor approval is that we don't always trust the guys in the chase to make that call in the fog of war. The worst decision here is forcing a pursuit instead of getting a helicopter out to follow them at a more leisurely pace. But even that's hard to be too upset by, given the circumstances of the stop. And I have no idea what the status of their helicopter was.
They asked and were denied 3 times, then given permission once but it became immediately unsafe so the FHP Officer didn't. What we sometimes see as an opportunity to do the P.I.T. isn't actually a safe time. Cars close behind, not going to turn them and have them come off the barrier sitting sideways in front of civilians, homes or businesses the turned maggot could hit, open medians they could cross into oncoming traffic. FHP does the P.I.T often, but have to request permission, unlike ASP Officers which seem to have fulltime permission at their discretion to do so. They got the driving maggot, they'll get the others when he rolls on them or someone in their inter-circle rolls on them.
@@VTRenegade Every second of this video was shoot through a FHP vehicle windshield. And the first two cars and pickup to be at the bailout scene were FHP vehicles. 30:37 Even the lead-in of the video and the description below the video say the FHP were primary. " Shortly after, Florida Highway Patrol became the primary agency in the pursuit as it approached State Road 836." Put down that blunt-see you making all kinds of these non-comprehending comments and replies all over this and other channels.
The only question I have is how in the hell was this pursuit allowed to go this far? There was a perfect clean and clear pit opportunity that if taken, would have prevented many vehicles being damaged and many opportunities to end tragically. I understand each state has different protocols but this could have been ended as soon as suspect vehicle did a u-turn.
Supervisor feared more backlash if the suspect was inured than innocent bystander or 3rd party. There should be specific pit rules, especially with regard to speed
I was on a long bridge and had no problem hearing the sirens and seeing flashing lights in my mirrors while about a 1/4 mile ahead. I saw what was coming and immediately took to the far right as I could. They passed by me in a matter seconds. I'm thankful that I paid attention to my drivers ed teacher 50 years ago when taught to move my eyes from driver's side mirror to rear view then passenger side mirror about once every 7 to 10 seconds.
@@TerryMundyI always watch my mirrors and my peripheral. I don’t understand drivers who get tunnel vision. Plus they have their music so loud they can’t hear themselves think.
@@tonywood3660 Putting innocent lives at risk, sounds exactly like what melanin skinned single mothers do every time they become pregnant and give birth.
People drive looking forward, thats why windshields are big and mirrors are small, they are coming up fast, i can guarantee you would do the same thing that you are criticizing others for😅😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta give props: the perp can drive, but that 1st officer earned his Fast & Furious badge. 2nd officer did well in keeping up. Whoever said no to pitting needs a desk job. Throw the perps' sorry @sses in prison. The others will be held accountable. Great video, that 30 minutes flew by - literally.
Supervisors ass should have stopped this pursuit 28 minutes ago & not put 10000 people’s lives in danger. 3 in that car should have been pitted & taken to the hospital & then to jail. That’s the supervisors fault they escaped.
@@The_North0 Because of failed opportunity to PIT him at the U-turn, he gets back on freeway endangering many lives and property. So letting him flee further created way more risk than damaging someones vehicle in a PIT manuver. Flee like a criminal, be dealt with like a criminal.
This is absolutely sad. This pursuit shouldn’t have lasted more then 10 minutes. The fact that 2 out of 3 got away is a embarrassment for that department’s supervisor.
3 deadly thug felony criminals, 1 caught & let go in 12 hours w/ free bail, other 2 they don't care about finding. they did it again 50 times the next day . LETS GO BRANDON.
@@angels1four1 You're right, but what I'm saying is that I think it was an officer asking his supervisor for permission not a trooper asking for permission. FHP doesn't need authorization from any county supervisor to PIT someone. We somewhat recently changed our policy to give our deputies permission to immediately PIT as soon as it gets started. In fact it's more of a directive. If we can't end it quickly, we're gonna call it off all together. A wild half hour chase just isn't worth it for 90% of suspects.
Maintaining pursuit in such heavy traffic is pretty damn intense. Navigating/negotiating all that, while maintaining sight of the target is no simple feat.
That 1st officer was amazing , his all round vision skills and calmness and full on pursuit driving needs too be recognised and rewarded. If his surpervisor would have let him call it he could have ended it way way earlier without all the damage to other vehicles that ensued. Florida..... you are very lucky to have that man in your force.
For anyone wondering why throughout these 30 minutes of the chase the state trooper did not perform a PIT maneuver, the supervisor denied him permission and kept doing so.
That first officer was a ROCKSTAR ! ! ! ! ! This was fun to watch but I have a sore throat now yelling at all the idiots that just froze up and didn't get out of the way!🤣🤣🤣 Great great video!
@@ross9561 Says who? You? Did you write the curriculum on defensive driving or how to pitt? must be a shithouse driving instructor. There are ways to pit at high speeds. The reason why he was denied is because of the fact that they were in residential areas. nice try
1st. The officer of this dash cam, I am in awe of your calm nerve and your driving. 2nd if your office would have said yes to your request for a pit it would of been over.
Apparently you missed all of the bad judgement calls of the chase.....trooper was good but not good enough to be in this kind of chase, he had to slow down too many times when it wasn't necessary due to picking wrong lanes to squeeze by, the perp did better than the trooper did and that doesn't happen much but it happened many times on this one.
@@chrisn5079 Spoken like a guy that obviously missed the crucial judgements needed to maintain a closely followed pursuit....don't worry....not all of you people have a trained eye for these areas that were not so great judgement calls in the heat of the pursuit.
The officer kept his cool and was asking the right questions even though he kept getting denied his requests for pit maneuvers. So calm and informative, need more like that. Also great driving skills. Sucks he kept getting denied his requests for pit
@@astwas you never know how a pit maneuver is going to go. the other car could flip killing the people inside, the wheels could come off getting into the way of oncoming trafic, killing people there.
I saw this live on TV. This Trooper is a pro. More than half hour chasing this suspect at high speeds and going through a maze of traffic. Always kept his cool and drove like Mario Andretti. Go FHP
No that trooper put many lives in danger because he didn't follow the pursuit guide lines after a current amount of miles and reckless speeding they surpose to cut the chase due to the danger of the public they were having to much fun at the public risk
Who stayed for the whole thing just to see who this bad ass driver was? Gotta give it to him and the first officer . That was amazing driving through all that traffic and no wrecks!
@@sarge6870 Like I said, I’d prefer they “take him out”…. If their just gonna play cat and mouse and endanger thousands of people and property, that’s stupid. Had many opportunities to put an end to it but didn’t.
you could have a policy like they have in Washington state of just simply no chasing. So if you are a perp in that state, just don't have plates and you get a get-out-of-jail-free card. for some reason they have an explosion in crime like car theft and they don't know why.
Jeeze, these Florida drivers gave me anxiety. 95% of them were not paying any attention to what was happening around them. With ALL the sirens and lights, they still failed to get the hell out of the way, like totally oblivious to their surroundings.
welcome to driving anywhere in America. The only time a driver will ever look is when you go to pass them, then suddenly they jump on the gas to keep you behind them.
Yeah every year we go out there for vacation from Texas, the only way to run is in the RIGHT lane, it's pretty much completely open, they're all bebopping down the road in the left lane. And won't move over. Left lane is for passing only. Guess they don't enforce that like home. Unreal chase, too much at stake when it should have been a lot shorter.
The drivers getting road rage and joining in the pursuit/getting in the way is the most Miami thing this video could've produced and I'm not disappointed 😂😂
Wish troopers could have pitted but by time they got permission the other drivers around were at risk. Superb driving by the troopers. Be safe and thanks for your protection.
“ *Superb driving by the troopers. *” Sorry for this very long diarrhea post. Agreed: There were very considerable *physical driving* skills displayed here . . . But there were, also, significant *errors in decision-making* by these officers: As you have insightfully pointed out, there were, clearly, opportunities-SAFE opportunities-to execute a PIT maneuver, but the officers came up short (There was at least 1 instance involving 2 different officers whose vehicles were physically close (and were not near other vehicles or heavy traffic) . . . And, actually, these police officers, themselves, then continued to put the public in as much danger as this crim driver did. What I find completely ironic about this situation is that the very officers who thought that it was not safe to attempt a PIT maneuver continued to put the driving public at incredible danger-through their own irresponsible police-officer actions. NOTE: - In this chase, we have already seen at least 1 helicopter directly over one of the officers. - And even if, by the time that we see this helicopter, it was on its way to some already-identified event or emergency, by the time that we see it here, the chase had already been going on for way long enough to request another helicopter. It takes only 2-10 minutes for a helicopter to become airborne. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - And, of course, although all of us here know what an incredible asshole this crim driver was and is, I must give credit where credit is due: For as often as this pathetic crim driver found himself in traffic jams and situations that appeared to be almost impossible to extricate himself from, he really did drive quite “well.” Don’t hate me, but what I mean by “well” is that, for a substantial part of this chase, this crim really did not deliver significant damage to any other vehicle on the road, and there was only minor damage to his car-Yes, he did scrape a large number of vehicles, because he sometimes found himself wedged 3-abreast in a 2-lane-wide space, but no vehicle was incapacitated by his insane actions, and no other driver was physically injured. I am not talking about the emotional horror of what he inflicted on the driving public . . . I am talking only of his physical response to traffic conditions. And although I think that he should serve at least 30 years in prison-so that he can sit and think of all the thousands of people that he put at risk for his lunacy-there is no doubt in my mind that there are very, very few other drivers who could have driven as “skillfully” as he did-in this particular very difficult situation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In all of my 70 years on the planet, I have almost never seen a car-chase in any commercial film that approaches what is shown in this real-life account. The only film in which the car chase is truly exciting and seemingly realistic is “To Live And Die In LA.” However, it is *not possible* to truly have a totally convincing car chase in a commercial film because such filmed chases are completely and totally choreographed-It can be no other way. . . .

@@TwoFourFixate It wasn't the troopers who didn't want to PIT, it was their superiors, you can hear them ask for permission to PIT and were denied every time except when it became unsafe to do so.
@@The_North0 Too risky? Did you watch the same video I did? That chase was way more risky than a PIT maneuver would have been. There were several opportunities for a safe PIT maneuver.
@@paulswarthout9967 still too risky. Officer could get hurt and the car is stolen. What would be the point of reporting stolen property if the officer is going to destroy it?
@@The_North0 It's probably insured. The point of reporting it stolen is to catch the perpetrator so he doesn't do it again. The trooper knows the risks when he takes the job. And he wanted to PIT the driver.
Awesome work and Attentiveness of the FHP Dispatcher.. Without her help this would have been very difficult....She played a major part. Hats off to the FHP Dispatcher !!
Today's cars are very adept at blocking outside noise. Plus the radio is probably on, and maybe cranked up a bit. Maybe they're on the phone and not paying attention to the traffic around them. Too much distracted driving these days. Few people actually pay attention while they're driving.
I live in Miami dade, the most mindless and distracted drivers on planet earth are here. I drive for a living, over 90% of drivers have their phones in their hands at all times.
This is the best chase video I've seen. Many chase videos get boring or at least uneventful in the middle. this one is intense from beginning to end. The cop, who's a great driver, could not get permission to do a PIT, which is too bad, because it would have been fantastic.
Nah 5 min tops ,the rest is boring bs , basically just waiting for that pos to ru out of fuel ,no though on how he could cause death through an accident
If any driver who drives the speed-limit is passed (which would take less then 30 seconds) is freaked out, they should hang up the keys to the vehicle and hand in their DL. Any driver is required to drive in a safe manner no matter what other drivers do around them. *Good thing though is that they caught the driver* ...
@@The_North0 too many times a PIT maneuver ends with injuries of both law enforcement and the perp .. even death.. which outweighs the punishment of the crime ...crippling injuries and death results in law suits ...paid by the taxpayers
Good idea. But which way should they move? Those officers were passing vehicles on the left and right and expecting drivers to move left when I'm sure the law will say move right.
@@paulswarthout9967 Florida just like many other states has a problem with left lane loitering drivers. Some are driving the same speed as the trucks in the right lane. Not only do these drivers get in the way of FHP going code, they hinder normal traffic conditions as well. IMO
@@zzzaccounting5924 Couldn't agree with you more. Drivers should be educated that the left lane is for passing and if people have to be passing you on the right you have no business in the left lane! It caused many frustration and accidents
Politicians jumping up and down. It's not that simple. Paul S. has it right. Criminals in these cars are going 100+ mph. They're all over all the lanes, not just the left. People have little time to react. And everybody's reaction times are different. Old people and women react slower than people who process things faster.
Another good nail-biter Scooper. I will say this, Florida was one of the first States to pass the "Move-over" law MANY years ago and to this day...the drivers there still don't know how it works! Good driving by the LEO's! They kept the safety of the public in mind even though the scum perps did not.
Award style type of defensive and offensive driving from this FHP Super Trooper, seriously that was some of the best Ricky Bobby driving immediately out the box.
He was just following directly behind the perp. First officer was the skilled driver, cutting and weaving his own paths, and using highly skilled and high speed maneuvers around traffic.
I have watch a lot of high speed pursuits over the years but this one was one of the most professional ones I have ever scene, kudos to all the police agencies involved.
The shear amount of threading the needle is beyond any advance DDC, this trooper is on a whole new level not many are able to master in defensive driving. V1 suspect driver most likely had to pry his fingers off the steering wheel slowed him down enough to get caught! OFS trooper!!!
Que desperdício de tempo e risco de vidas e tão fácil se parar um carro e só se usar um arpão daqueles que se usava em casa de baleias e um cabo de aço preso a camionete do policial pronto
I'm sooo glad I moved out of Miami and over to the west side of the state. That was just flat-out embarrassing on so many levels. The traffic load is off the charts and I didn't recognize one area after living there for 48 years. One thing hasn't changed though, the expressways are ALWAYS under some kind of construction.
Your comment is rather pathetic. All you did was throw shade at the city and said nothing of the suspects that caused all the carnage. Good riddance, enjoy the west coast.

Certain states have call-off pursuit criterias. Arkansas is another state with this scenario but with Arkansas, they have a criteria to call it off immediately and theyll eventually get their man.

who is the so called supervisor on the radio... Officer asks can I PIT & end this? the supervisor says NO..... what the ****??? no don't stop it just let em keep driving recklessly thru heavy traffic.... many perfect open areas to safely PIT & stop the pursuit & some **** says NO...... EPIC FAILURE C'mon Florida... you're smarter than this... this was an EPIC management failure.. this easily could've been stopped with very minimal damage....Troopers did excellent.... pathetic supervisor... I hope that supervisor that refused to allow this to be stopped is Fired...
Wow, that was the most extraordinary chase I’ve ever seen on RUclips! What incredible driving, thank goodness most of the drivers of the other cars had their wits about them. Inches to spare on either side of the cars. Whew.
No pit.. You would’ve be stupid to do it while it’s busy in the area and it would defeat the purpose to report a stolen car if the police going to damage the property.
There was confusion at the beginning if FHP was in charge or the County. That needs to be fixed. The FHP could have pitted several times waiting on a answer. While we live in a smaller area. There is no question who takes the lead GHP.
@@aspenrebel the police try to avoid collateral damage as much as possible so it makes sense that they don't go zigzagging through cars. Also they had multiple people on the exits of the turnpike he was not getting far.
The commanding officer that denied the PIT early on when the car was on an empty street should be relieved of duty. He allowed the chase to continue on to the busy turnpike where other cars got hit and countless lives were put in danger. What an absolute asshat. PIT the damn car when a safe opportunity presents itself and end this nonsense. Not only did they allow this chase to happen but two of the suspects got away. Absolutely infuriated by the No PIT call.
@@mistermister124 Maybe, and I don't know what they teach now, but one of the FIRST things we were taught, and I have seen videos where people pull over on the left, where the cop tells them that the law states pull over to the RIGHT.

He hit like 5 cars at least. If it was ur car, would u give that guy props? Easy driving through traffic when u have no regard for the life of others and the damage u cause side swiping ppl when they don’t move
It's easy to drive like this if you dont' care about hitting other cars. THis was not skilled driving, it was desperation and not giving a **** about the car or your passengers.
Had they had permission to perform the pit maneuver, the perfect time was at 4:45 just after the U-turn. They weren't going that fast with no traffic in their direction and light to none in the other direction. I will say that the first FHP officer's adrenaline didn't go up during the chase as it showed in his voice. I commend him for staying calm. The driver won't be using any of his driving skills anytime soon. 🤣
Bro the trooper stayed on the same siren tone for 30 mins props for not being annoyed with the prio tone for that long 💀. FHP and surrounding agencies handled the pursuit to thr best they could for the amount of traffic there was. Props to the South FL LE Agencies that helped in this pursuit.
30 min chase? They could have taken them out multiple times but “no pit, no pit” from the desk jockeys…. damage and life put at risk and 2 of 3 got away. 5 minutes in it would have been over…

He requested permission to PIT but it wasnt his circus or monkey. He was waiting for permission or the county to take over.
I agree. However if you hear, the supervisor denied his request to pit at first. The cop wanted to pit and he had great chances.
It's ridiculous that the thugs ran away like cowards.

Even if there was some good evidence to support the notion that girls can't make high-stress decisions as well as dudes, it wouldn't apply in this low-stress situation where it's pretty well preordained by regs. In retrospect, it would have been better to PIT early, but the supervisor didn't necessarily know how things were going to go down at that point.
I did see a couple other places where a PIT would probably have been safe enough, but the supervisor can't be sure in time to okay it in the moment, and the entire point of supervisor approval is that we don't always trust the guys in the chase to make that call in the fog of war.
The worst decision here is forcing a pursuit instead of getting a helicopter out to follow them at a more leisurely pace. But even that's hard to be too upset by, given the circumstances of the stop. And I have no idea what the status of their helicopter was.
It's amazing how many lives that was put in danger, not only from the idiot but from the supervisor denying a pit!!!
Florida needs some Arkansas State Trooper PIT lessons. So many missed opportunities!
I agree!
No kidding !
yep
They asked and were denied 3 times, then given permission once but it became immediately unsafe so the FHP Officer didn't.
What we sometimes see as an opportunity to do the P.I.T. isn't actually a safe time. Cars close behind, not going to turn them and have them come off the barrier sitting sideways in front of civilians, homes or businesses the turned maggot could hit, open medians they could cross into oncoming traffic.
FHP does the P.I.T often, but have to request permission, unlike ASP Officers which seem to have fulltime permission at their discretion to do so.
They got the driving maggot, they'll get the others when he rolls on them or someone in their inter-circle rolls on them.
@@VTRenegade Every second of this video was shoot through a FHP vehicle windshield. And the first two cars and pickup to be at the bailout scene were FHP vehicles. 30:37
Even the lead-in of the video and the description below the video say the FHP were primary. " Shortly after, Florida Highway Patrol became the primary agency in the pursuit as it approached State Road 836."
Put down that blunt-see you making all kinds of these non-comprehending comments and replies all over this and other channels.
The only question I have is how in the hell was this pursuit allowed to go this far? There was a perfect clean and clear pit opportunity that if taken, would have prevented many vehicles being damaged and many opportunities to end tragically. I understand each state has different protocols but this could have been ended as soon as suspect vehicle did a u-turn.
My thoughts too!
Could have had many tragic endings!
@K AMB so why is the supervisor who can't see the action involved in making that decision? Their training should be what is guiding them!
Supervisor feared more backlash if the suspect was inured than innocent bystander or 3rd party. There should be specific pit rules, especially with regard to speed
@ryanwells7842 that is my point, why continue the pursuit as it was if they didn't pit when the road was empty?

@@angels1four1 You're right, but what I'm saying is that I think it was an officer asking his supervisor for permission not a trooper asking for permission. FHP doesn't need authorization from any county supervisor to PIT someone.
We somewhat recently changed our policy to give our deputies permission to immediately PIT as soon as it gets started. In fact it's more of a directive. If we can't end it quickly, we're gonna call it off all together. A wild half hour chase just isn't worth it for 90% of suspects.

Wish troopers could have pitted but by time they got permission the other drivers around were at risk. Superb driving by the troopers. Be safe and thanks for your protection.
It would be stupid to pit
@@The_North0 tell that to the 10+ cars that got damaged
“ *Superb driving by the troopers. *”
Sorry for this very long diarrhea post.
Agreed: There were very considerable *physical driving* skills displayed here . . . But there were, also, significant *errors in decision-making* by these officers: As you have insightfully pointed out, there were, clearly, opportunities-SAFE opportunities-to execute a PIT maneuver, but the officers came up short (There was at least 1 instance involving 2 different officers whose vehicles were physically close (and were not near other vehicles or heavy traffic) . . . And, actually, these police officers, themselves, then continued to put the public in as much danger as this crim driver did.
What I find completely ironic about this situation is that the very officers who thought that it was not safe to attempt a PIT maneuver continued to put the driving public at incredible danger-through their own irresponsible police-officer actions.
NOTE:
- In this chase, we have already seen at least 1 helicopter directly over one of the officers.
- And even if, by the time that we see this helicopter, it was on its way to some already-identified event or emergency, by the time that we see it here, the chase had already been going on for way long enough to request another helicopter. It takes only 2-10 minutes for a helicopter to become airborne.

And, of course, although all of us here know what an incredible asshole this crim driver was and is, I must give credit where credit is due:
For as often as this pathetic crim driver found himself in traffic jams and situations that appeared to be almost impossible to extricate himself from, he really did drive quite “well.” Don’t hate me, but what I mean by “well” is that, for a substantial part of this chase, this crim really did not deliver significant damage to any other vehicle on the road, and there was only minor damage to his car-Yes, he did scrape a large number of vehicles, because he sometimes found himself wedged 3-abreast in a 2-lane-wide space, but no vehicle was incapacitated by his insane actions, and no other driver was physically injured. I am not talking about the emotional horror of what he inflicted on the driving public . . . I am talking only of his physical response to traffic conditions.
And although I think that he should serve at least 30 years in prison-so that he can sit and think of all the thousands of people that he put at risk for his lunacy-there is no doubt in my mind that there are very, very few other drivers who could have driven as “skillfully” as he did-in this particular very difficult situation.

In all of my 70 years on the planet, I have almost never seen a car-chase in any commercial film that approaches what is shown in this real-life account. The only film in which the car chase is truly exciting and seemingly realistic is “To Live And Die In LA.”
However, it is *not possible* to truly have a totally convincing car chase in a commercial film because such filmed chases are completely and totally choreographed-It can be no other way. . . . And, as we have seen in this chase-and in every real chase-life is not choreographed.

To me, there was really no legitimate reason for executing this chase by ground vehicles:
- At one point, we can clearly see a helicopter directly overhead, and it is in the process of turning back to this particular chase.
- However, we do not know whether or not it is even a law-enforcement helicopter. if this particular helicopter were a law-enforcement helicopter that was already requested to travel to some other event or emergency, by the time that we see the helicopter here, the chase had already been going on for plenty of time to enable law-enforcement authorities to call in another helicopter.
- To me, the chase that would make the most sense would be this scenario:
- 1 law-enforcement helicopter and whatever number of chasing law-enforcement ground vehicles have so far joined the festivities.
- All chasing law-enforcement ground vehicles drop off in speed.
- All chasing law-enforcement ground vehicles then completely drop off from the chase.
- The pathetic crim-believing that there are now no longer any chasing law-enforcement *ground* vehicles behind him-then decreases his speed, fitting in perfectly with the existing-traffic flow.
- The law-enforcement helicopter simply continues to follow this crim right up to near his front door-which is exactly what happened here-but without the horror and craziness that those very law-enforcement ground vehicles were bent on stirring up.

This is the best chase video I've seen. Many chase videos get boring or at least uneventful in the middle. this one is intense from beginning to end. The cop, who's a great driver, could not get permission to do a PIT, which is too bad, because it would have been fantastic.
Nah 5 min tops ,the rest is boring bs , basically just waiting for that pos to ru out of fuel ,no though on how he could cause death through an accident
Too many opportunities to PIT missed. As far as he went, anyone he passed at that speed could have freaked out and crashed themselves and into others.
If any driver who drives the speed-limit is passed (which would take less then 30 seconds) is freaked out, they should hang up the keys to the vehicle and hand in their DL.

@@zzzaccounting5924 Couldn't agree with you more. Drivers should be educated that the left lane is for passing and if people have to be passing you on the right you have no business in the left lane! It caused many frustration and accidents

@@CCM1199 Arkansas will chase you down at speeds in excess of 120mph and pit you into a wall. Don't mess with ASP or you'll regret it...
Superb driving skills PO!
Most of this could have been avoided if the supervisor would have authorized a pit near the beginning of the pursuit
Good-Day: Scooper; Whoever the trooper is, he deserves a medal in skillful driving, Have a Bless Day....
That's some of the best driving I've ever seen! Those cops were really good at staying with them - even in those insane traffic conditions.
I know! ! I'm freaking watching this now.... squeezing in between cars ! tight spaces !
The longest Honda Civic ad I ever watched!
Yes, I also noticed the fearless and excellent driving skills.
years of driving the way I do has definitely wore off down here we have the craziest but best drivers at the same time. justrynkeepup!!
crazy how a hoodlum can even know how to drive that good....requires skill and experience....he barely ever been in a car probably...barely grasping how it works...
Kudos to the first officer for staying evdn though he was discouraged from doing so...soooo many pit opportunities...why didn't fhp take them?!!
Seriously impressed at that Civic's handling with so much front end damage and only three inflated tires.
Accord
@@MrCharlieTurbo its civic
@@zuzu.hallak And not even the Type R.
@@MrMJmusicLover it’s probably tuned
Not even turbo - probably a 2.0 155 hp.
That driver did his thing! It was pretty much close to the most exciting chase I've seen. I personally would of pitted that fool when he hit the first U-turn.
This is the most exciting chase you’ve ever seen? lol poor you
watch wheres918 on youtube, better chases than anything on here
The amount of people who refused to get out of the way, or did so at the very last moment, or simply panicked braked is pathetic.
Soy Méxicano, Querétano, y que sorprendente la maniobrabilidad del Oficial, mis respetos, buena la del Honda Civic, espero y los hayan detenido, pudieron haber hecho muchos desastres en esas metidas entre carros, FELICIDADES POR LAS CAPACITACIONES DE LOS OFICIALES.
The drivers in these pursuits must have nerves of steel. My heart would be in my throat every second. Anything could go wrong at any moment. Hats off to the Staties who do this daily.
honda driver did very well. gets an A +. nascar is hiring.
Drugs calm the sensors!
who is the so called supervisor on the radio... Officer asks can I PIT & end this? the supervisor says NO..... what the ****??? no don't stop it just let em keep driving recklessly thru heavy traffic.... many perfect open areas to safely PIT & stop the pursuit & some **** says NO...... EPIC FAILURE C'mon Florida... you're smarter than this... this was an EPIC management failure.. this easily could've been stopped with very minimal damage....Troopers did excellent.... pathetic supervisor... I hope that supervisor that refused to allow this to be stopped is Fired...
This is most likely the best hot pursuit video I’ve ever seen I’m over here yelling at the cars to move out the cops way 😂
Wow, that was the most extraordinary chase I’ve ever seen on RUclips! What incredible driving, thank goodness most of the drivers of the other cars had their wits about them. Inches to spare on either side of the cars. Whew.
Several missed opportunities to pit, and other drivers oblivious to their surroundings
No pit.. You would’ve be stupid to do it while it’s busy in the area and it would defeat the purpose to report a stolen car if the police going to damage the property.
@Conservitarian 17 listen to me very very carefully. Its not safe to do pit in busy area. Now have a good day!
Performing a pit on a civic is not as easy as you may think.
There was confusion at the beginning if FHP was in charge or the County. That needs to be fixed. The FHP could have pitted several times waiting on a answer. While we live in a smaller area. There is no question who takes the lead GHP.
4:50 And this is where it could have all ended early and saved thousands of citizens from having their lives put in danger.
So crazy how many people don’t move out of the way.
Look at how fast they were overtaking everyone. No way can people see hear and react that fast.
People have their radio blasting music plus Miami drivers don't pay attention to shit when they drive.
Yeah but white car had no problem. He'd find an ooening, get thru, then a moment later it closed up for cop.
It blows my mind.
@@aspenrebel the police try to avoid collateral damage as much as possible so it makes sense that they don't go zigzagging through cars. Also they had multiple people on the exits of the turnpike he was not getting far.
The commanding officer that denied the PIT early on when the car was on an empty street should be relieved of duty. He allowed the chase to continue on to the busy turnpike where other cars got hit and countless lives were put in danger. What an absolute asshat. PIT the damn car when a safe opportunity presents itself and end this nonsense. Not only did they allow this chase to happen but two of the suspects got away. Absolutely infuriated by the No PIT call.
Amazing how many people in FL refuse to yield to an emergency vehicle and will guard the space they are in at all cost.
i think sometimes they just don't know if they should move left, move right, it happens so quick.
@@mistermister124 Maybe, and I don't know what they teach now, but one of the FIRST things we were taught, and I have seen videos where people pull over on the left, where the cop tells them that the law states pull over to the RIGHT. As far as "happening too fast", well, even on the brightest day, you can see those flashing lights from a LONG way behind you.
Its everywhere!
It's tough to move over when there are cars on both sides!
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 sure it is, but the majority of people in the video do NOT have a car blocking them, SOME do.
I live in Austraiia and I love watching the American Police in their car chases with their driving skills and especially the pit manoeuvres.
Y’all sure do have a lot of extra letters in maneuver😂 just picking, hello from US!
Max Rockatansky would have stopped him in 5 minutes. He's probably be dead though.
@@kylecherry3156 It is probably the spelling that is recommended in the Oxford Dictionary. John Cleese from "Monty Python's Flying Circus" has commented on the differences between Webster's Dictionary and the Oxford Dictionary.
the fact that the perp could drive like that with a thin little donut spare on the front says a lot about his driving ability. he missed his calling - should have been a nascar driver !
He hit like 5 cars at least. If it was ur car, would u give that guy props? Easy driving through traffic when u have no regard for the life of others and the damage u cause side swiping ppl when they don’t move
Yeah that's right glorify a SCUMBAG. He could have gotten people KILLED!
It's easy to drive like this if you dont' care about hitting other cars. THis was not skilled driving, it was desperation and not giving a **** about the car or your passengers.
@@cjr2727 Nascar drivers bump into each other too, but unlike nascar drivers, this guy didn't "Crash".
LOL you triggered some people with that comment.
That civic got some balls. Running from a 5.7 like he’s gonna get somewhere lol.
❤. Thankfully no serious injuries to civilians. Stay safe out there protecting the public!
Everyone has had that one boss who thought they knew better, but most were not putting the lives of thousands at risk...
Had they had permission to perform the pit maneuver, the perfect time was at 4:45 just after the U-turn. They weren't going that fast with no traffic in their direction and light to none in the other direction. I will say that the first FHP officer's adrenaline didn't go up during the chase as it showed in his voice. I commend him for staying calm. The driver won't be using any of his driving skills anytime soon. 🤣
First Officer - superb performance! Awesome chase. And lastly - I think my next vehicle will be a Civic😂
Thanks for the video, its actually nerve wracking to watch the high speed pursuit through that traffic. Crazy, good job officers.
This police chase was totally ridiculous.
Bro the trooper stayed on the same siren tone for 30 mins props for not being annoyed with the prio tone for that long 💀. FHP and surrounding agencies handled the pursuit to thr best they could for the amount of traffic there was. Props to the South FL LE Agencies that helped in this pursuit.
So many drivers failed to yield to the cops, it's actually amazing 😡
Bro that civilian ford explorer needs a reward for helping those officers
6:11
I saw that too!! Hell yeah!!
Could’ve been an undercover unit
@@z90777 True
@@z90777 I believe it was an unmarked unit based on the radio transmissions.
30 min chase? They could have taken them out multiple times but “no pit, no pit” from the desk jockeys…. damage and life put at risk and 2 of 3 got away. 5 minutes in it would have been over…
Endangerment indeed. Lots of partly damaged cars too. Criminals are good at one thing only: Being a constant expense for society.
Sensacional parabéns aos Policiais .
Sou de SP Brasil
A PIT maneuver was possible several times. Florida needs to review their policy for these kind of incidents.
