    In France, even more in Paris, you can see large Scooters up to 400, or even 500cc. It’s very practical to drive in dense traffic. Also, in France, all cops on bike have a very rigorous training, I would even say crazy training and do all kind of simulation like traffic, small path, different roads type, riding with just one hand to shoot with the other, etc… so you can assume that any cop you will see on a bike in France are not just a rider, but a freaking good rider and you must be really bold to think you can outrun them.

      my BIL have to take the teste at least 2 time to be on a bike unit and he is a good rider, you can't be just good, you have to be up there in skills.
      and then there is the stunt unit, police and gendarmerie

    Scooters in the 250 to 600 cc range are quite capable, and have some handling pluses in dense traffic/urban areas. Especially in France those beasts are not uncommon.

      They are mostly used by drug traffickers. In fact, that's an easy way to spot them : a guy with a powerful scooter, doing nothing but keeping his motor running and looking at his phone for the next "delivery". They need to be able to escape fast.
      And in some cities like Marseille, they deliver lead as well as shit, and also need to be able to escape fast enough from their target's friends.

    when you hear of a scooter your mind automatically thinks of a 50cc "moped" but there are actually scooters up to 850cc and some scooters like mine (yamaha tmax 530) can be really crazy tuned, now its becoming more common to put a turbo on these scooters and they could easily push +100hp (on a scooter that is 218kg/470lbs)

    I'm pretty sure, the German police is not allowed to chase anyone in a way like this in a city. Maybe at night, but how they were speeding on the sidewalk..... yes, crazy!! Imagine kids getting in their way. Even as a cop, you would be arrested for years when you hit someone.

    As a dispatch/courier rider in the 80s, we did some proper mental stuff on motorbikes, but that was next-level bostin. Paris always was a bit interesting to drive round though. A great city.
    I lived near East Midlands Airport which is the busiest freight airport in the UK. It's used by UPS and FedEx, but has a massive DHL hub. DHL is odd because it started as American but is now German. I think they have a big hub in Cincinnati.

    I used to do motorcycle testdriving for a big manufacturer (german...😉) who also builds some large high performance scooters.
    On a handling course, as long as there are no long stretches of straight in the track where top speed plays a role, a tricked out scooter with the right person on it will outrun even a professional race rider on a superbike.
    We put that to the test...😆

  • @aleksanderdomanski222
    @aleksanderdomanski222 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    French can be crazy good. I remember watching a videos about their pilots in Africa. They did stuff very very dangerous. And it is due to their relaxed commanders who allows a bit of risk-ish instead of playing 100% safe. In simple terms they have the balls.

      I'd say the mind is not "We'll not do that, it's to dangerous."

    This was just mental. Imagine stepping out of your front door and being hit by a motorcycle going 40-50mph.

    Even we Europeans avoid driving in central Paris if we are not local, traffic in general is crazy busy there and you get lost so easily.

    Personnaly, if I have to go in Paris area, I avoid to drive in the city or even drive on the "boulevard périphérique" around. It is very stressfull and as you don't know the place, it is hard to be focused both on the traffic and chose the right lane or direction. In that movie, steets are empty but during business hours, the traffic is worst.

  • @FlatFab004
    @FlatFab004 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In the US, what you call "scooters" are sort of mopeds, small cylinders scooters, like 50 cc or 125 cc tops.
    In Europe, we have what is called "maxi scooters", more than 125 cc, from 250 to sometimes 800 cc.
    The most sold scooter in France is the Yamaha T-Max, with 500 to 540 cc, very powerful, much torque, very maneuverable... It's the most stolen scooter too and has been much used by criminals for drive-by shootings and robberies.
    The police motorcycles here are Yamaha TDM 900, a somewhat old and heavy bike, not very maneuverable.
    Thats' why there bike cops struggled to catch the culprit...

  • @miki1510

    That was nuts.I was a motorcyclist for many years and even have a stint as a courier on them and have done a bit of crazy stuff myself in the long distant past, but that was insane. How no one crashed in that is a miracle. There are several brands of large wheel scooters now and they range from 250cc up to 400cc as of last I was aware, and as you can see, they can really go well. Some even have 3 wheels and can still lean like a proper bike.

    I think most of European countries don’t like car chases in general, it’s much safer for everyone to note down the plates to pay them a visit later and such a chase in a city as crowded as Paris seems very irresponsible. I know it’s not supposed to be standard procedure, so maybe for some reason it’s extremely important to catch this specific guy

    Pursuits are unjustifiable, it only adds danger to the situation. Instead of one idiot diving relatively fast now you have a bunch of idiots driving extremely fast wit almost no regard to others safety because they don't get punished accordingly if they hurt an innocent. And you also have a criminal driving even faster and under a lot more stress taking way more risks to escape increasing the chances of hurting or killing innocent people

    I live in a city in the mid-south of the Netherlands. Here we have (as far as I know) 2 big delivery companies DHL & Post NL (Post NL being the biggest mail distributor in the country).
    A few years ago a massive UPS depot opened in a industrial park not that far from me, 3km in a straight line. When I pass it traveling to work, the parkinglot/trailer-bay is never full, yet I never see the (classic) box-trucks driving around through the city.

    Sccoter vs motorbike? On the highway the bike will win for sure, but in a crowded european city with all the traffic, pedestrians, narrow streets? I would opt for a little Vespa every time as you don´t need speed as much as maneuverability. Especially e.g. in Germany where the police bikes are often heavy duty BMWs. 😉😉

  • @CamiloSperberg
    @CamiloSperberg 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Quite some dangerous manuevres from the police over there... but yeah those big scooters are quite capable of even highway speeds. Regarding UPS, it's kind of the DHL for you: I sometimes see a van from them but almost never received anything from them, but DHL is quite common :)

  • @micade2518

    That must have happened in the middle of the day because there were so little people on the pavements ... fortunately! I just can imagine someone coming out of his building, and being hit by a scooter or a motorbike in full speed ... Aouch!
    But I too would have liked to know if the fugitive was eventually caught ... someone must be running out of gas too, I suppose?
    But if it had been in a movie, one of the policemen would have gone round a block or two and caught the scooter at the end of the street ... as seen in the cinema :o)))

      @kelsea-2002 this kind of chase is absolutely rare in France too, especially in town. Most of the time, police take the number, then simply come to the guy at 4:00 am, it's easier. Here it would be definitely a special situation, not a simple road contravention. Murder, robbery or something like that, so the police know scooter is robbed and they won't find the driver by any other way than arresting him right now. I'm pretty sure in Germany are the same.

    Police training on bikes is crazy.
    I don't understand what people are even thinking trying to outrun the cops. You can do it in a video game easily, yes but IRL police have better equipment and training for these situations. You can't outrun the cops just becouse you bought some sport car or a supersport car or a very powerfull bike.
    Like police (in Czechia) they mostly use the latest generation of Škoda cars (not to mention special cars like unmarked police cars or highway sport cars) and for bikes i believe they have BMW, but police on bikes is very rare. At least for me, haven't seen a police bike on a road for years.

    French police isn't supposed (nor allowed) to take such risks, but they do it anyway.
    They also should only use sirens when absolutely necessary and during proper emergencies.
    But I've lived on a major avenue of Paris in the vicinity of a precinct and I could hear sirens all day and night long.
    Most types of vehicles usually being considerate enough to turn off their siren and only use small / short bursts at intersections when really needed, especially at night.
    Everyone : firesquad, civil rescue, ambulance... Everyone except the police, which always used it continuously., even at 3 or 4 AM.
    Often at shift change, to return to the precinct faster (NOT an emergency), etc.
    They also extensively used their car's megaphone, in the middle of the night, sometimes to comment on a woman's outfit (I've seen it multiple times near my former home).
    Or to say something to someone on the sidewalk, only a few meters away, close enough for a conversation if they'd simply opened their car window.
    The whole avenue was fed-up (still probably is) and every time complaints were made, every time the same answer : "the police only uses the siren when necessary" yada yada... nothing to see here... "how dare you doubting the professionalism..." etc. Exhausting!
    The thing is, there's no civil oversight or control over the police in France. There's only an internal affairs department, which is like having the loonies run the mental health evaluations in the asylum.
    Several "interior" ministers (homeland sec) repeatedly asked police officers / agents to clearly wear their RIO numbers (matricule equivalent), but many find ways to not comply. Same for the personal cameras, they "never work ", "battery is dead", "card's full", you name it.
    It's a bit as if the ministry feared their own troops and didn't dare really enforcing the rules for the police.
    There's not much real corruption per se, at least not that I know of, but there have been numerous cases where CCTV (often private), phone video recordings, etc. completely contradicted the police' version of events, and proved that they lied and covered each other.
    Exactly like the shooting of a teenager that triggered the major riots in France last June.
    Worse, the police on site tried to seize phones and delete footage, and one of the two officers continued to lie even though the video was available and quite damming.
    So, I'm certain that driving at such speeds, centimeters away from building entries is not allowed, and the very existence of this footage online should raise eyebrows at the police prefecture. But will it lead to any action? Pretty sure it won't, as always.
    Another example: when a decent police officer assigned to the "tombs" of the Paris courthouse witnessed systematic abuse, racism and insults by many his colleagues on detainees, he informed his hierarchy which didn't lift a finger, so he alerted the media. The results? The decent police officer was sanctioned!
    So, the French police isn't exactly examplary, that's an understatement, and many, myself included, have very little trust in them.
    Not even mentioning the repeated profiling, ID check abuse, verbal abuse, illegal searches, etc. That I experienced in the past 30 years.
    My last pretty bad experience happened when I was stopped and frisked. I asked the officer for him to change gloves or to put them off (the leather ones he wears everyday to frisk everyone, a real Petri dish) as I had chemo less than a week before and my immune system was severely compromised.
    Guess what he did? He refused and took offense, of course, then voluntarily patted me "firmly" on my neck and cheeks, then conscientiously rubbed his gloves all over my clothes, like he was wiping them.
    Just for the fun of it. While the other one giggled.
    That, is the French police.
    I'm sure there are decent, respectful and professional ones, but I rarely met them. My experience was mostly with a bunch of disrespectful, humiliating, aggressive, unprofessional and abusive ones indulging in their double standards.
    And as long as there won't be a powerful civil oversight and a real change of behavior in the ranks of the majority of those that are in contact with the public, they'll be hated and not trusted one bit by a growing portion of the public.
    One last "nugget" about the French police :
    Paris city hall has been asking, or should I say begging, the police prefecture for years if not decades (in France the "real" police is national, not municipal) for officers that speak at least a minimum of English and preferably also other languages to work in and patrol the main touristic areas of the capital.
    But most officers can't even babble more than a few words, if at all, which is absolutely shameful and ridiculous in world's tourism capital.
    And when you try to help by offering a translation, they take offense...
    Sorry for the long rant, but it had to come out, as I am deeply ashamed by the police of this country.

    I think I told you all a few vids ago just how mad French 5.0 are, and they really really don't like the bad guy getting away. If you're ever in France, don't mess with them, they take the "do what ever the F I like" badge to the next level.

    in netherlands we have like light medium and heavy motorcycles, when ur a certain age ur allowed to ride a certain ''weight'' if u got the license, when u get older u can get the heavier scooters, but after i think 21 or 23, u can better just buy a normal motorcyle/sportsbike

    The bigger the bike the more it takes to slow down the scooter being lighter is more nimble in the corners and slows down quicker so it can outdo the bigger in city traffic but on a straight line the scooter would lose real quickly.
