What’s likely one of the more commonly fantasized excuses for a car chase was no excuse early New Year’s Day, as Carl Alewine witnessed the birth of his daughter handcuffed to the hood of his car after getting pulled over speeding to the hospital.
TJ Hooker and other 1980s cop shows led many of us to believe that about 75 percent of police work involved hanging on to rapidly moving cars. Apparently that’s not exactly the case in reality. Except sometimes it is, as in this incident of a Florida cop who was sent to check out a possible overdose.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a New Mexico woman who failed to appear in court for two charges of felony child abuse, after running from police while driving drunk with her two young kids in the car and shouting at the cops “I don’t give a shit,” and “fuck you bald head.”
Being alone on the city streets at night can be terrifying with nothing going on, but it’s especially horrifying when you find yourself being attacked and chased by a road-raging lunatic.
Car chases with cops are dangerous, and they almost never end well. The quicker they can be ended, the better. Cops have some exciting and risky techniques like the PIT maneuver to help them stop fleeing cars, and now there’s this MacGyverish-looking invention designed to let cops actually snag a fleeing car.

Police opened fire on a semi-truck in a high speed pursuit near Hammond, Indiana after the truck refused to stop, according to Fox 32. We now cut to footage recorded on the scene from two bros totally losing their minds, dude.
Before Gary Powell had finished his question about the new Bond movie, I’d already said yes twice. Gary was a 007 veteran. In The World Is Not Enough, he perfected flipping the Q speedboat on the Thames by jumping a smaller vessel—wait for it—onto dry land.
Sometimes you can want to help a little too much.
By ‘landspeeder’ I’m referring to the wheeled type of landspeeders we tend to write about on this site a lot. Sometimes they’re called “cars.” By ‘Anakin Skywalker’ I mean the actor who played the young, larval Darth Vader, Jake Lloyd, and by ‘cops’ I mean real, South Carolina Sherriff’s deputies. Okay, glad that’s…
The Terminator T-1000 is real and he's working as a cop somewhere in the post-Soviet East, at least if this dashcam video is to be believed.
"He was driving 70 to 80 miles per hour, and the trailer was waiting for the light..."
A Houston-area doctor was riding home with his daughter at the wheel of their Audi when they witnessed presumed burglars leaving their home in a red Ford F-150. The pair gave chase, leading to a Hollywood-style car fight resulting in two wrecked vehicles and one proud dad.
Heroin! Last week we weren't talking about it at all, today it's a global pandemic. The latest in white-horse escapades went flying down Woodward Avenue yesterday and culminated in the arrest of a father, mother and son.
A Russian driver with a dash cam managed to capture this, possibly the funniest real-world car chase I've seen in a long time. The ending alone is like some rejected scene from a Buster Keaton movie.
If there's a theme of 2013, it's been "don't post it on the Internet." Add another entry to the file: this asshat biker in Pennsylvania posted GoPro video of him running from the cops.
