I'm a life long Texan but damn we suck when it comes to police chases. Arkansas State Police would have finished this chase in a few minutes instead of letting this idiot risk lives of hundreds of people. Come on Texas lets change the pursuit procedures.
The police is risking lives!!! Put thousands of lives on the line because mr cool guy officer wants to take one in! Cops are the biggest losers in life!
Yes your correct Texas cops are dumb (_I_)'s. This guy lost control cop could have had him right there. But know he says i'm going to be a dumb (_I_) and let this guy run more help him put a million more life's at danger !!
ah, but do they not have the patience to resolve the situation with the least amount of collateral damage and the lowest level of risk to both officers and the public? Also, ASP release dashcams selectively, to build a reputation and dissuade would-be chancers, but there are chases and standoffs which endure far longer than publishing the videos will allow.
This would have been a 10 minute video in Arkansas! They look for the 1st opportunity to PIT and they DO it! Wish we could have seen that here! Great job driving!
Arkansas cops are hillbilly boy scout thugs, that live for the chase...then lecture the one they are pursuing about what danger they put everybody in. Those cops live for the chase. They are all adrenalin freaks. It's a big game to them.
@@joanlovelace7338 Nothing is funner than seeing someone who knows how to drive know how to avoid the pits first by not letting the cop get alongside them, or if the pit does happen know how to steer out of them. " Well have you pitted him"? Cop... no he stays in front of me and won't let me get on his rear quarter. If you get pitted from the right steer left not allowing you to head for the ditch on the right. The best thing is never to allow the cop to get that close and steady up to pit you if you're really going fast.
What are they supposed to do, get everybody killed.. last I checked they're called Peace Officers, not Death Officers.. This may shock you, but real life is not the movies.. Police don't get to tear up the whole neighborhood, just to put someone in handcuffs..
Fun fact. If you turn the sound down and cover the car with your thumb. You wouldn’t even know this is a high speed chase. He definitely got driving skills…..
Lol where are they so different than anyone else's with years of driving experience? Barely overtaking the regular traffic at most times. BTW it's a whole lot easier to follow someone clearing a path for you than it is to lead.
@@mjsteelersnation Really? He should have done a pit manuever/TVI before they hit Terell, TX there's a lot of open space to the right of the interstate.
@@mjsteelersnation Wrong! ASP troopers PIT fleerers as quick as they can wherever they can. They do try to avoid pitting along tree lines but I've seen several ASP pits done in traffic with just a small gap to work with between motorists. They are very efficient and effective at what they do, even on freeways. Why just follow a vehicle for miles and miles (while wasting fuel and resources) if they aren't going to be aggressive and stop it? Might as well just back off and let them go every time. The ASP has it down to an art. Texas & other states need to follow ASP's lead & start learning how to apply the same tactics.
Mercedes are crap that's why. People waste money on them when they get rich because they think their getting a good car. In the 60s and 70s Mercedes were good cars. These days their just very expensive junk. If you want to invest in a good car leave the German cars alone. Leave Ferrari alone . You want a car that's gonna keep value get a Rolls Royce (still made by actual hands from the ground up. And can only be bought new by special order. And you get to pick everything that goes in the car to suit your needs. Real Wood dash and panelling , real leather hand stitched seats stuffed with real lambs wool. Wool Carpets and mats. ). And their value doesn't go down the second you drive it out the factory or get it delivered. And look after them they go forever. I have my grandfather who raised me 1965 Silver Ghost. It's still under its lifetime factory warrenty. Last year some jackass threw a rock at the windshield. If it was a Mercedes is would have cost me over 1000 US to replace it. Not the Rolls... It was picked up by a factory truck at 8 am Monday .(I live in the UK ) and came home with new windshield , free interior exterior clean and detail. FOR FREE. 10 pm same day. (Ok I live 3 hrs from the factory.had I lived closer it would have probably been back before dinner time.). It's still registered , it's very much road worthy. (Had a full factory ground up restoration in 2017.). Paint looks new , no rust , no dings , no dents no missing parts. And it's one of the nicest cars you can drive. And despite its size. It's very easy to handle and park. It's extremely comfortable to sit in . And the back seat you could if need to use it as a bed. I have new cars and I love them . But my Grandfathers Rolls is the best car to have that will have a good long life a s cause minimal issues.

yea bruh usually when they’re going 100 over they turn off their lights and just try to get their tags asap 😂 or else its a big lawsuit if something bad happens 100 over
Think they had a hellcat undercover pick up the chase once the original cop run out of fuel Edit: just the state troopers picked it up and looks like K9 had the guy cornered on top of a car 😂
If the car is not stolen, get the license number and let them go. You can get them at home later. Find out the address and have unmarked cars waiting for them when they arrive home.
It's not necessarily effective to ram such a heavy Mercedes. These vehicles are made of much thicker steel than other cars. You'll demolish your own car, with the Mercedes driving on.
@@HansDunkelberg1 with due respect to Mercedes Benz, it's a great car, but those police vehicles are provided with crash bars at front in order to pit other vehicles without getting damage, or minimize it.
@@Helmy67 Trying to do palpable damage to a heavy Mercedes you'll easily damage also such crash bars. This might obstruct you in maneuvering, then. The police can do magic just as little as anyone else. Also shooting into a heavy Mercedes is not necessarily possible. I'm reading that three limousine models of the brand have bulletproof windows. That's is fine when there sits a peaceful politician or company boss inside, but a different affair with a gangster. At 43:16, the pursuer may have abstained from a PIT (precision immobilization technique) maneuver also because it would have happened on the opposite lane and before a curve obstructing the view for oncoming traffic.
It s a cartoon ... a tune via cars ... a frequency to entice ...its like a lying girlfriend, prancing in front of you knowing you aint gonna ever stop her whoredom.
Great driving skills? Yes, the cops learn that by making it to the nearest donut shop right when the maple bars come out of ....the fryer. Just kidding...I'd like to know what model that Benz is. Amazing handling. It looked smaller than a S series, but damn it handled well. I wonder why they didn't show how this ended? Could it have been that Benz finally got away and they didn't want to show it?
@@johnnyohness It looks like the police terminated the chase as it got to dangerous in that built up area. As to them both being good drivers.. the Mercedes had a big advantage in handling. The cop had to use more skill in keeping up.
@@expat2010 Well, maybe a little. remember the lead car has to plow a path through existing traffic forward without crashing into existing traffic. The cop following only had to follow his lead in a path already cleared. The lead car always had a much higher risk of crashing all the cop car had to do is follow him. The Mercedes (even in its stock form) is a superior handling car to the altered cop car. Both drivers were great. I just wonder how long that would have gone on if the Mercedes hadn't hit that sand/dirt patch.
This Constable had numerous opportunities within the first 20 minutes to PIT him. Instead they let this jagoff keep rolling putting innocent people at risk.
First time I've seen a cop stop to take a lunch break in the middle of a pursuit. He had the perfect opportunity to do a PIT but then hesitated and backed off, apparently remembering that his department isn't authorized to do PIT maneuvers.
I’m also from Texas and right now ashamed to admit it this is ridiculous that they allowed the chase to go on that long in traffic that heavy at those speeds do y’all not know what a PIT move is y’all should have called one of those Arkansas state boys they would have ended it in about 5 minutes
If these cops had half a brain when the car goes to an exit, it’s only one lane with trucks in front of them. Why doesn’t the cop just order the truck in front of the car to stop? And then the car would not be able to get out
Ok, so now I’m at 45 minutes of this…unreal. How in the hell has this officer Not slammed that crap car like it should have been done 30 minutes ago?! What is going on here? Put me in a patrol car. That chase would be over in no time, and the crap car would be trashed on the roadside.
This is some of the best non-police driving I have seen in some time. Brought back too many memories. Also reminded me that Texas DPS don't mess around. River would have called it off a long time ago.
I guess Texas has a different philosophy when it comes to catching violators. They just follow them till they run out of gas or get tired and have to stop for a nap. That was pretty funny.
Kudos to the cop who was able to keep up with the suicidal driver for so long. Great driving skills even though I know that he was getting tired. But he did pass up several good attempts at a SAFE pit maneuver. He was just a little shy to make an attempt which, if he succeeded, would have ended the chase and removed a dangerous driver from the highways and biways. While watching I was imagining the drivers who witnessed this chase then 40 minutes late saw the same car being chased by the same cop. Arkansas State Police would have removed this road hazard in 5 minutes.
At 8:30 when the driver takes the exit ramp, they have already been refusing to pull over for approximately 7 minutes and 10 miles. At this point, on a lane with no traffic and at a reduced speed, why not pit the car on the ramp? Was it lack of officer/driver training or policy that prevented a pit maneuver attempt?
Tampa tried the no chase policy a few years ago. The crime rate doubled overnight, once the bad guys knew all they had to do was step on the gas. The chase policy was quickly reinstated.
Arkansas State Police ASP are very effective in the pit maneuver for stopping chase cars. ( one exception a special Hellcat that's eluded them more than once)
@43:13, WOW! DUDE!!! He lost control of the vehicle, bounced off the wall, spun around, got control of the car and then got back on the road and continued where things left off at from before!!!
I can’t believe the cops let this driver endanger so many lives. I mean what were they waiting on? For him to kill somebody. This was ridiculous!! And it’s infuriating that we watch all of this but not see how it ends or who that idiot was!!
Why did he try to stop them? Probable cause? The officer is just as reckless as the driver. SMH All this for a paper tag. They all could've killed someone or caused a bad accident ridiculous our tax money goes to bs like this, he would've been stopped if he paid for his own gas.
Exactly, people praising the Cop's driving just don't realize the extra hazard it added to the pursuit, especially with lights and siren. If the Cop was driving on a track, then I would be the first to compliment his driving skills. He's very lucky he didn't cause a catastrophic wreck.
When I saw Fox 4 news, I should have checked towards the end to see if there was an ending. Other than the driving, the best part was there was no know it all announcer making assumptions about what the driver and the police were going to do or should do.
That Constable glued that Tahoe to the back of his bumper. What an edge-of-seat chase through my old stomping grounds. Don't think the Tahoe ran out of fuel, I've seen the raw air video and it shows the Constable sticking to the end. I could be wrong since there were other Kaufman units still with the pursuit.
Ever notice that most of the the tractor-trailer truck drivers never seem to pull over when they hear a siren? Truckers used to be responsible citizens... Now I'm not sure about that.
This officer knows how to drive. Hard to follow someone like that for that long.. following a course of action not dictated by yourself at high speed is no easy task. I enjoyed this.
The average 13-year-old school girl could out drive that police officer, completely pathetic. I lost count at 13 times he could have pitted him safely. Completely worthless police officer. He should put on desk duty for a minimum of 10 years, possibly forever. He should never be allowed to drive.
@@rickhalverson2252 Would you have been sure that you can shoot through the windows of such a Mercedes? And even if you had been sure of this, could you sufficiently have excluded hitting other traffic participants?
Imagine if y'all used what Arizona highway uses. It's called the grabbler. This pursuit would of been over with along time ago and this awesome driving law enforcer could be chasing another.
There are several sides to the argument about whether the Police should chase someone fleeing in their car after committing a crime or a driving infraction. The word would quickly circulate in the underground world of people who commit crimes. They will think if you get in your car fast enough you win because they can’t be chased. I think it would still be dangerous because they would try to flee & innocent people could still be hurt or worse. Already many people think it’s ok to load their shopping carts up & leave the store. Many stores tell employees not to pursue shoplifters. 😟
The type of crime doesn't matter to those cops. They would follow you to the end of the earth just for a burned-out license plate lite. It's this us against them mentality and if they wreck their unit in the process the tax payors will furnish them with a new one. They are adrenalin freaks and it's a big game to them.
The way he was driving, could have caused many people there lives, getting in and out of traffic as he did I don't understand why they let them go on so long, this dude was trying to make police look like fools, and I believe he accomplished that theory
Here the police do nothing to stop the chase. 100% Risk, 0% Protect Safety. Exactly what should never happen. Front bumper of the patrol car looks great though. 😐
That is one crazy convict trying all he could to lose that cop Tahoe with a faster Mercedes, that cop could drive, Mr Merc tried but failed. I thought when the R/T Charger went blasting by it was PIT time, they sure had enough chances. One thing that got me is how crappy the roads are in DFW, bumpy pot-holed cow paths that never seem to get fixed. With the property taxes we pay here you would figure the roads would get paved every 10 years. But I guess all the tax money goes to schools and funding illegals. Nice work to the officers, that one was scary, and it when on far too long.
TO THIS DAY, THEY ARE STILL CHASING THAT CAR:
I hear they're celebrating Christmas together.

Nah he wasn't? He put lives in dangerous predicaments and totally disgusting
Ok, so now I’m at 45 minutes of this…unreal. How in the hell has this officer Not slammed that crap car like it should have been done 30 minutes ago?! What is going on here? Put me in a patrol car. That chase would be over in no time, and the crap car would be trashed on the roadside.
This is some of the best non-police driving I have seen in some time. Brought back too many memories. Also reminded me that Texas DPS don't mess around. River would have called it off a long time ago.
I guess Texas has a different philosophy when it comes to catching violators. They just follow them till they run out of gas or get tired and have to stop for a nap.
That was pretty funny.
23:00 once I seen/heard that hemi pass the lead cop I was like nah buddy you ain’t going no where 😂
Was that a hemi it looks like a scatpack tbh lol
@@crazyfrank3866its a scat they seized off of a drug dealer a while back. The markings/lightings on it is badass in person.
For the "high speed" part skip to 10:02
Kudos to the cop who was able to keep up with the suicidal driver for so long. Great driving skills even though I know that he was getting tired. But he did pass up several good attempts at a SAFE pit maneuver. He was just a little shy to make an attempt which, if he succeeded, would have ended the chase and removed a dangerous driver from the highways and biways. While watching I was imagining the drivers who witnessed this chase then 40 minutes late saw the same car being chased by the same cop. Arkansas State Police would have removed this road hazard in 5 minutes.
At 8:30 when the driver takes the exit ramp, they have already been refusing to pull over for approximately 7 minutes and 10 miles. At this point, on a lane with no traffic and at a reduced speed, why not pit the car on the ramp? Was it lack of officer/driver training or policy that prevented a pit maneuver attempt?
That chase is nothing but DANGER for every citizen on the road.
Tampa tried the no chase policy a few years ago. The crime rate doubled overnight, once the bad guys knew all they had to do was step on the gas. The chase policy was quickly reinstated.
*It really got me thinking seriously about my own Carbon Footprint . . .* ✏ 🦶🏼 - j q t -
Disappointing ending, I wanted to see him get caught..
This is classic professional driving by both the Trooper and the perp.
43:10 this not even close professional driving
@@siniyden Just depends on what type of profession, lol.
If this was an Audi or BMW, they would’ve gotten away😂
I like it when the scenery is familiar. I was sure hoping that somehow an ASP Trooper would show up though 😀
ASP?
Arkansas pd
Arkansas State Police ASP are very effective in the pit maneuver for stopping chase cars. ( one exception a special Hellcat that's eluded them more than once)
I have seen ASP in a chase in Texas
Good thing this wasn't in FL. Metro State would've had him cuffed AND stuffed.
Almost an hour and don’t show us the end?!? What a joke
Great job driving but what was that sound in the car? Sounded like something was loose on the vehicle.
I thought it was typing on a keyboard, but no way right?
@43:13, WOW! DUDE!!! He lost control of the vehicle, bounced off the wall, spun around, got control of the car and then got back on the road and continued where things left off at from before!!!
That was the car much more than the driver.
I can’t believe the cops let this driver endanger so many lives. I mean what were they waiting on? For him to kill somebody. This was ridiculous!! And it’s infuriating that we watch all of this but not see how it ends or who that idiot was!!
Why did he try to stop them? Probable cause? The officer is just as reckless as the driver. SMH
All this for a paper tag. They all could've killed someone or caused a bad accident ridiculous our tax money goes to bs like this, he would've been stopped if he paid for his own gas.
Exactly, people praising the Cop's driving just don't realize the extra hazard it added to the pursuit, especially with lights and siren. If the Cop was driving on a track, then I would be the first to compliment his driving skills. He's very lucky he didn't cause a catastrophic wreck.
Timmy had a promising career with Nascar, but he threw it all away. 🤷
This is irresponsible of cops to engage a high speed chase with all those cars on the road. Unless he is or was an active shooter, this is madness.
what a complete waste of time and tax money
When I saw Fox 4 news, I should have checked towards the end to see if there was an ending. Other than the driving, the best part was there was no know it all announcer making assumptions about what the driver and the police were going to do or should do.
What is wrong with you people that police officer is a terrible driver he should have stopped that guy an hour ago
This officer is the best skilled driver I have seen yet.
Absolutely UNJUSTIFIED!!
This is one wild ride!!😱
This was the most intense chase I've seen EVER! That officer is one helluva driver.
AWESOME JOB OFFICERS, STAY SAFE
did you miss the part where he does nothing?
i wasted 45 minutes of my life on a non ending pursuit? Texas sucks hard
That Constable glued that Tahoe to the back of his bumper. What an edge-of-seat chase through my old stomping grounds. Don't think the Tahoe ran out of fuel, I've seen the raw air video and it shows the Constable sticking to the end. I could be wrong since there were other Kaufman units still with the pursuit.
This cop has some seriously angelic driving skills!
Chase on video and no arrest on video , LOVE THESE VIDEO ENDINGS OF NO ACTUALLY ENDING!!!!!!! SAD VERY SAD
Having push-bars and not using them is like owning a firearm and letting yourself get robbed.
I said to myself in the beginning that this Tahoe would never keep up. WTF man!!! Hats off Sir I bow to you!!!
To this day there still chasing him!
😂😂😂
Ever notice that most of the the tractor-trailer truck drivers never seem to pull over when they hear a siren? Truckers used to be responsible citizens... Now I'm not sure about that.
That officer is one hell of a driver 😳
So is the driver in that mercedes
wow, a video and we don't get to see the end. that SUCKS!!!!
This officer knows how to drive. Hard to follow someone like that for that long.. following a course of action not dictated by yourself at high speed is no easy task. I enjoyed this.
The average 13-year-old school girl could out drive that police officer, completely pathetic.
I lost count at 13 times he could have pitted him safely. Completely worthless police officer. He should put on desk duty for a minimum of 10 years, possibly forever. He should never be allowed to drive.
@@rickhalverson2252 Would you have been sure that you can shoot through the windows of such a Mercedes? And even if you had been sure of this, could you sufficiently have excluded hitting other traffic participants?
Anyone else finding themselves leaning in their chairs?.
Good Lord! What. A. Chase!
This is 53 minutes and 24 seconds of my life I won't get back...
I will never understand turning a simple traffic stop into a felony with extra charges. Just makes no sense how dumb some people can be.
Well when there's a gun and illegal drugs in the car, people take their chances
@@rowens208 yeah, probably a felony warrant as well.
dumb is the criminal system. Some decent people refuse to deal with criminals.
Wow they are actually fighting crime instead of messing with truckers parked on the on-ramp! Amazing
Imagine if y'all used what Arizona highway uses. It's called the grabbler. This pursuit would of been over with along time ago and this awesome driving law enforcer could be chasing another.
WAY to expensive to install on every unit.
Road construction everywhere and drivers camped out in the left lane....yep, definitely DFW area.
Texas need a Trooper Byrd at the scene. This chase would have lasted 10 minutes or less.
There are several sides to the argument about whether the Police should chase someone fleeing in their car after committing a crime or a driving infraction. The word would quickly circulate in the underground world of people who commit crimes. They will think if you get in your car fast enough you win because they can’t be chased. I think it would still be dangerous because they would try to flee & innocent people could still be hurt or worse. Already many people think it’s ok to load their shopping carts up & leave the store. Many stores tell employees not to pursue shoplifters. 😟
The type of crime doesn't matter to those cops. They would follow you to the end of the earth just for a burned-out license plate lite. It's this us against them mentality and if they wreck their unit in the process the tax payors will furnish them with a new one. They are adrenalin freaks and it's a big game to them.
So when do we stand up to these cockroaches?
This police chase was BS. If you can't show the capture or to get away, then don't put this crap on the on RUclips.
cop ran out of gas, culprit was later apprehended on foot by a police dog, after climbing a car...black male dopedealer.
Officer was just trying to get to that Subway the whole time. Other guy just thought he was being chased.
That was 53 minutes I will never get back.
Why they would all a chase to go on this long is just crazy. Many lives at stake.
The way he was driving, could have caused many people there lives, getting in and out of traffic as he did I don't understand why they let them go on so long, this dude was trying to make police look like fools, and I believe he accomplished that theory
That was some awesome driving. So what happened?? Did yall get him ?
It started out in Forney. Strange seeing familiar landmarks. Great job Constable!! You did Kaufman County proud!!
It was weird. I’m like hey I know where this is!
Surprised he lasted that long with all that traffic
The best chase ever just great how the cop stayed on him
Here the police do nothing to stop the chase. 100% Risk, 0% Protect Safety. Exactly what should never happen. Front bumper of the patrol car looks great though. 😐
That is one crazy convict trying all he could to lose that cop Tahoe with a faster Mercedes, that cop could drive, Mr Merc tried but failed. I thought when the R/T Charger went blasting by it was PIT time, they sure had enough chances. One thing that got me is how crappy the roads are in DFW, bumpy pot-holed cow paths that never seem to get fixed. With the property taxes we pay here you would figure the roads would get paved every 10 years. But I guess all the tax money goes to schools and funding illegals. Nice work to the officers, that one was scary, and it when on far too long.
Charger sounded so stout. Driver didn't match.
Couldn't stomach watching this. Need to see a PIT ARKANSAS! But good job to the Officer stay safe!
