I've been a truck driver Almost 50 years, I believe in the Pit Manuver, Even at the cost of the suspects life !! As they don't care about anyone else's life !! Do it quickly and end the pursuit !!
Was it a woman driving along minding her own business, only to have cops start tailgating and eventually ramming her into the center divider? Looks like abuse of force.
I have an immense amount of respect for our law enforcement but I must say they took forever to get this guy and missed the perfect pit opportunity when he turned left after crossing the overpass to go back in the opposite direction. No traffic, slowest speed of the chase and wouldn't have even interrupted traffic on I17. He just followed him around the corner like they were going for ice cream.
I would suspect that they didn't want to take the chance there because his vehicle could have jumped over the guard rails causing a rollover to not only the suspect but an officer could have been injured as well. Just saying its a possibility. At least where they were there wasn't any traffic and the officer in the rear blocked off the rest of traffic behind.
No, there was a civilian driver on the overpass and pitting on that section may have resulted in one or more vehicles crashing onto the interstate below. Good decision, imo.
@@pontyexpat No civilians in sight when the perp made a slow left turn onto the on ramp to go back in the opposite direction. Black vehicle had just passed by and they were off the overpass and on solid ground. Watch it again at 2:12.
@@B25gunship Well, thanks, but I'll trust the judgement of experienced troopers, dealing with the situation, in real time - but certainly would not have pitted another vehicle on either an overpass or the ramp. There were sufficient support vehicles to manage the main highway traffic, bringing those to a safe halt, with a rolling roadblock behind, while the offender was contained in a single-flow carriageway, with Armco central reservation. "Softly-softly, catchee miscreant!"
My grandmother can drive better than that at twice the speed. How fast were they going - 50, 60 mph - and for gods sake how many traffic cars were tasked to the pursuit ? Just poor traffic policing, especially stopping the vehicle on the motorway after ignoring two perfect pitting opportunities on the bridge away from the motorway and thus holding up hundreds of motorists completely unnecessarily. Their training is clearly unfit for purpose.
That was pretty dumb to allow him to get back on the freeway when they had a perfect opportunity to do a pit maneuver as the guy was getting on the ramp. But no, they have to clutter up the freeway!
PERFECT opportunity @ 2:15. No traffic, 10 MPH turning the corner, guard rails for containment Nope. Let him get back on the freeway then shut down traffic for an hour. Come on man!
it blows me away how many people think they can successfully outrun the cops in vehicles that come from the factory with 108 mph speed limiters.as where police vehicles speed limiters are around 155 mph.they may not get to 155 mph, but are not limited to 108.its like taking a knife to a gunfight.
Why do they follow a vehicle for so long before puting a stop to it? Iv seen them go for hours following a vehicle instead of stopping it immediately before someone else gets hurt or killed.
In some jurisdictions approval from a superior is required before executing the PIT maneuver. I have no idea if that was a factor here but it frequently is the cause of delays.
Unnecessary, they have for several miles an empty freeway, and they let him back on the freeway with more traffic behind them?... Doesn't make sense, endanger other motorist.
Every minute the bad guy is rolling down the road is another minute of freedom. I guess that's what they're thinking. He's like "You were behind me? I didn't see you."
It never ceases to amaze me and annoy me how drivers do not care about an emergency going on, they just want to get to where they are going and everybody be damned. You can tell how when all the patrol cars closed in just before the Pit Maneuver that that one small white car just wanted to pass everybody and had to be actually blocked to keep them back from the scene. We live in a "Me" society that cares Only about themselves. And I believe given half a chance the majority of the other drivers behind would have just skirted around the scene too. Our society is really a selfish one and self centered.
Straight up ignorant when they went and took the over pass the side of the car was available for the cop to push it off the road at thirty miles an hour without blocking off the freeway
Why in the heck didn't they pit the car when they had all the open space with no other cars around? Instead they waited until he went back the other direction then pitted him on the downhill run with lots of vehicles coming. That police department needs another course in PIT manuevers.
Most likely the driver received the citation in the mail. First HD CCTV capped, and second cam zoomed and click picture time. Amazing the crazy tech piled on those big ass towers and manned by several technicians.
No explanation needed as you nailed it with "Another clueless driver & should've been given a ticket." Him and the little squash car in lane #1 following the trooper so very close.
These drivers who create the chase, send them away to work farms. A jail cell is not enough. And this chase was not even so crazy though a clear disregard for the public and it’s safety.
Houston police in my City wouldn't have used this instead of getting into a 100 Mi an hour Chase for 32 minutes they would have saved my wife's life instead but suspect killed my wife at 100 miles an hour
FFs why didnt they do it sooner and on the bridge as he slowed for the corners??? Oh no lets wait till the main road and hold EVERYBODY up. Then none of the coppers wanted to get out and sat there looking at him................
Looking in the rear view mirror was a sea of flashing red lights. Hmm......I wonder if I can outrun the cops. You can sometimes outrun a cop car but you can't outrun their radio.
Well,, that surely looked like traffic near Phoenix. Yes, interesting chase,,, but note the other vehicles. When confronted by an emergency vehicle,,, the LAW and custom say , move to the right and stop. The guy up on the bridge going the opposite way,, heck facing 12 vehicles with lights flashing , he barely slowed down and likely would have broken the line of emergency flashing lights vehicles,, because BG he has the right of way. Heavy traffic ahead,, no one pulling over,, heavy trafic behind. It was another chase video in Phoenix,,, I loved it,, high speed chase through heavy traffic,, weaving in and out , long chase,, but,,, if you happen to watch the whole thing,, the high speed Corvette being chased is twice passed by other vehicles in the heavy traffic. Twice. Lights and sirens glaring, blaring and some nut in a Corvette being chased through midday traffic at one hundred miles per hour,, and twice he gets passed by private vehicles doing 110. Yep,, that is Phoenix. If you drive Phoenix,, you come to know just how normal that is.
Thay should have done this on the left turn at the on ramp !!!! but instead thay stop traffic on the highway at highway speeds with the possibility of people getting rear-ended. Cop's have a hard job to do ,but waiting to do a pit in more traffic is a poor decision.
Well, that was pathetic police work, made me cringe to watch it. Were they waiting for him to finish his coffee ? Why not pit him on the bridge away from motorway traffic where there were two perfect opportunities instead of blocking the motorway for hundreds of motorists. The training is clearly inadequate, and that's being charitable.
Many times the cop starts chasing people that have done nothing wrong. America is not a Police State yet. We need more armed drivers holding criminal tyrants accountable
Driving with no tail lights on Interstate. Reckless driving. Blocking traffic. Almost PIT maneuvering a cop car in reverse. Resisting arrest. Getting poop smell on police car's back seat.

2:53 to save people time. It took way too long but perfectly executed.
Boy that was a long one
The most patient cops ever. i'da wrecked him right at the start of the video.
Agree!
Thank you for not being a police officer.
@@NeilFraser What makes you think he isn't?
Flight7500
Me too.
"I didn't know you guys were chasing ME, I was trying to get out of the way."
Same officer who PERFECTLY executed the pit at 2:57 also DODGES the car backing up at 3:03. That is skill.
Basic driving skill that is.
At 2:15. Why in the world did they let him get back on the freeway? That left turn onto the ramp was the perfect pit opportunity.
Exactly
They need permission from their supervisors to do the pit
What Viking9 said. Most likely a supervisor finally made the decision otherwise they would've PITted a lot sooner.
I was thinking the same
when the police have to go through this much trouble to pull someone over... the deserve to lose their license for life.

What gets me, is police had ample opportunities to pit before got on main thoroughfare, but waited until in traffic.
@Fishkeg ...and learning to type in complete sentences. 'before got on main thoroughfare'? wtf?
That was pretty dumb to allow him to get back on the freeway when they had a perfect opportunity to do a pit maneuver as the guy was getting on the ramp. But no, they have to clutter up the freeway!
oh good.. I wondered when the youtube expert would show up
Must have been one of the slowest chases ive seen.
All the drivers behind the slow police convoy: Gee why can't this perp speed like all the rest?
good job by the cop who was thoughtful enough to hold the traffic back out of the danger zone.
In California they would have 40 cop cars, 5 helicopters following him. In the end they would call off the chase and let him go.
Why not? It looked like the guy was driving at or below the speed limit so why not just pick him up at his house.
Plus 10 hours to do so!
PERFECT opportunity @ 2:15. No traffic, 10 MPH turning the corner, guard rails for containment Nope. Let him get back on the freeway then shut down traffic for an hour. Come on man!
u need approval for pit, they prolly didnt respond in time
Everyone stop... Jack here has all the answers. There will never be a police chase again now that he has solved the problem.
@@johnd5398 So, you are saying I should be the king of the world ? :)
what was the reason for 'the CHASE' ...
was he going TOO slow?

Old lady said after wards, "I didn't even know you were behind me!"
2:52 The trailing cop should have pitted the little white car as well. That dude refused to yield to all those flashing lights.
If this had occurred in California they would’ve had 17 cop cars a helicopter and a tank for good measures
never been to Arizona have you? There could have been a lot of more trust me.
And lasted for miles and miles and miles and hours and hours.... ugh!
and they still would have been unable to stop the White Bronco..
🤣😂🤣🤣 You're so right, the helicopter would have even had to stop to refuel and still be able to come back to catch up where they left off..
And chased them for at least 2 or 3 hours.
Another one to add to the "only in America" file, why it takes 5 cops to stop one car. So over the top.
I'm sure you know the reasons.
Usually 8 or 10
2:06 Well, they did use their blinker.
It’s at 2:03 bud
One of the most courteous cop runners ever. ;-)
2:55

Totaled their car over nothing... smh. FYI, This is on I-17 between Carefree Hwy and Anthem some 30 miles north of downtown Phoenix.

Every minute the bad guy is rolling down the road is another minute of freedom. I guess that's what they're thinking. He's like "You were behind me? I didn't see you."
Since there was no sound, I had to imagine listening to"Foggy Mountain Breakdown" while watching this.

This has got to be a training exercise...
They had all that open space to pit and waited until got back into traffic!!
Straight up ignorant when they went and took the over pass the side of the car was available for the cop to push it off the road at thirty miles an hour without blocking off the freeway
I like how that pickup is just not moving out of the way
That truck was an unmarked police vehicle.
But where did the driver think they were actually going to go? I don't get what these criminals think.
Looked like a modern day filming of the ‘Keystone Cops’. 🤣
Don't often see a pit from this type of perspective!
Just wondering if OJ in his Bronco was going fast enough to have a PIT manuever be effective.
I would like to know their excuse for not stopping?
Why chase just shoot back window out
AZ DPS don't mess around. That was a great job! 👍
They should have done it immediately, but I guess they will too busy reading the 75 page approved procedure on their interscreen while following him.
Good job I’m glad you got the person off the roadway
Why in the heck didn't they pit the car when they had all the open space with no other cars around? Instead they waited until he went back the other direction then pitted him on the downhill run with lots of vehicles coming. That police department needs another course in PIT manuevers.
a chase? More like a funeral procession
I've never been able to understand why people run from the crops. That type of driving can be very stressful!!!!!
Pontiac Bonneville sedan.
Missed opportunities while at slow speed…wtf….waiting on approval from someone, without eyes on 🤦🏻♂️
No sound, they had numerous opportunity to pit when he left main road and didn't even try.
How do these pissy cars out-run high-powered police cars? They had ample times they could have gotten up there and pitted, with no cars around.
I hope the police paid for the damage they did that beautiful Ford Taurus!!
All you need to do is to follow that car... just don't endanger yourself or other road users...
3:25 Can someone explain why the idiot in that white car decided to drive onto the shoulder? Another clueless driver & should've been given a ticket.
Because they couldn't see the show with that pickup truck and trailer in their way.

This is bad training I'm sorry eliminating the problem as soon as possible did not happen here.
A nice day for a parade. Doesn't anybody know the "Pit maneuver?"
That definitely stopped him . .
Ok you got your suspect, now let the other cars that dont have to do nothing with that pass.
These drivers who create the chase, send them away to work farms. A jail cell is not enough. And this chase was not even so crazy though a clear disregard for the public and it’s safety.
Chase ended off in the sunset, no traffic and no pit maneuver, back too Walmart training school
Reminds me of the OJ Simpson chase. Pull Over!! But Officer.... I'm just riding around... 😭😭
Was he using his blinker while driving away from the cops?
Not sure why the didn't pit when he was on the bridge before he got back on the freeway.
No idea what these Cops were waiting for.
Houston police in my City wouldn't have used this instead of getting into a 100 Mi an hour Chase for 32 minutes they would have saved my wife's life instead but suspect killed my wife at 100 miles an hour
High speed Pit, the way to go!
Well at least they didn't flip the vehicle like another officer in another state did to a mother and her child.
never happened. fuck off

Does anyone know does that just like totally rip up the transmission?

You can sometimes outrun a cop car but you can't outrun their radio.
The runaway was carefull at the road junction and was keeping within the speed limit
Apparently, they need more "grapplers" as seen in other AZ vids.
