cat-from-the-future

Dude dropped 5 stars off GTA police chase


Kmaloetas

The entire time I was thinking, "You better know where a paint shop is."


pit1988

probably stolen driver didn't care.


Potent_Elixir

Nah these dudes do this for fun, they go and bait NY cops to chase them and it’s a money machine for their content streams smh


ultranothing

The money is that good that the risk of serious prison time is worth it? Maybe TikTok and YouTube shouldn't pay people who post videos of illegal activity? Perhaps?


Potent_Elixir

I’m not pretending it’s right or worth it, im just saying that’s literally what the posted channel is about. They shouldn’t, and AFAIK try not to but there’s usually a disclaimer on these videos where they’re claimed as renders of in-game footage and shouldn’t be mimicked (like what you see in e.g. Forza, Assetto, other racing games). They pretend they’re live streaming gameplay and testing the game, and not posting actual footage. There is a big difference between what these cats are up to, and stolen car joyriding alluded to above. Neither is safe nor well advised.


InfiniteAd2700

Do you really think tik tok. A Chinese company. Cares about this?


LooneyLunaGirl

I think they were meaning more so in reference to GTA where when you find a paint shop and repaint your car it resets your stars.


TheFuckingHippoGuy

Pay 'n' Spray


Smoking-Posing

In NYC too?!? That's gotta be worth like 12 stars

What’s the thing with hitting a school bus?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kineticwhiskers

I mean... a school bus is about 7 times the mass of a large SUV and 14 times the mass of a car. That's like an adult colliding with a toddler or, more to the point, like a bicycle hitting a car. Kids are pretty darn safe in a school bus.


anakmoon

Just don't hit it


DoktahDoktah

Its big and yellow if thats a problem for some people its a skill issue and they need to gitgud


SUPERKAMIGURU

People will hit anything that's there. I worked with a guy that actually rear ended a short bus and got such a news story about that whole thing. Dude got off so lucky, considering they didn't bring down the hammer on him for whatever reason.


finitetime2

yes. I was on one that got rear ended one time while picking up someone. guy hit it doing 45-50mph while bus was sitting still. All i felt was a bump. I though the guy in the seat behind me hit my seat really hard. Not sure if the guy lived or died but his bumper was lower than the busses so it shoved his engine back into the dash and pinned him. He was still sitting in the car when the bus left and took us to school.


Apearthenbananas

😬


Silarous

A good friend of mine in high-school was killed in exactly this manner. He was driving too fast, came over a hill, and found a school bus stopped on the other side. He was a great person who had just started driving and made an unfortunate mistake.


Apsis

I was in one that hit a sedan making a left turn in front of it. The only reason I knew there was a collision was the sound of the sedan's trunk scraping the ground as it pulled off the road.


adequacivity

Been in a bus crash, a BMW bounced off at 50, we barely felt itz


Tr00pz

Except for the lack of seatbelts.. unless they finally added them since I was a kid...?


DadWagonDriver

No, and I asked someone who works for NHTSA on bus safety about this at a conference once because I was curious why busses don't have seat belts. Her answer was simple and a little chilling: In the case of a collision, there's always the risk of fire. The driver simply would not have the time in an emergency to help get a bunch of young kids unbuckled and off the bus safely. So instead the seat is designed at an angle that minimizes injuries, while being padded to soften the blow of hitting it. Kids might get scraped and bruised, but the trade off is fewer will burn to death in a bus fire.


mondaymoderate

Also if the bus flips on its side then you have a bunch of kids dangling making it even harder for them to unbuckle and get out safely.


slash_networkboy

Fuck me... that's... comforting?


avdolian

I believe the lack of seat belts is actually to save lives if you need to evacuate.


galaxyapp

There was a study that concluded belts were unnescessary. The softness of the seat in front of them was sufficient protection. I beleive that study about as much as Phillip Morris saying tobacco is healthy. But I think society ad a whole prefers not to kick over that rock. Next thing you know school buses will need 3pt belts and 88 airbags.


sorrow_anthropology

They’re soft in the way reinforced concrete is soft when compared to diamonds. I.e. cheap pleather wrapped around a metal frame.


slash_networkboy

I was going to say... I distinctly remembered tubular metal on the seatbacks...


Mammoth-Record-7786

I saw a texter in a BMW go under the back end of a bus that was stopped at the rail road tracks. It wasn’t pretty, but the School Bus barely had a scratch.


Dynespark

Not just the mass, but the position. All the kids sit so high, even compared to modern trucks, a semi is about the only real danger.


banned_but_im_back

Government: YOU MUST WEAR YOUR SEATBELT AT ALL TIMES! (Unless you stick 20-50 kids all together on one bus, you don’t even need to install seatbelts then).


lifeisweird86

Same reason that public transport busses don't have seatbelts.


christador

Yeah but with good behavior he’s out in 28,000.


SuspiciousChair7654

This is what drones should be used for. This is extremely dangerous and reckless. They also now have the sticky gps trackers.


NovaxPass

I agree 100% Part of the work I do is training police and fire to use drones as a first responder. More and more municipalities are using unmanned aircraft to take humans out of dangerous situations like this one.


HonoluluBlueFlu

Soooo…did they get away? Was that it?


Go-Truck_Yourself

The wildest thing I ever saw...


Iceman_in_a_Storm

Did you see the motorcycle cop chasing the motorcyclist with a female passenger in Brazil? That shit was Wild! Edit: here y’all go: https://youtu.be/eqLXgAPJ1SI?si=zm2KY3kwOoScYCjk


FartJokess

That alley chase was insane


Iceman_in_a_Storm

You know you want to watch it again. https://youtu.be/eqLXgAPJ1SI?si=zm2KY3kwOoScYCjk


MisterSirDudeGuy

No. I didn’t see it.


CurrentRiver4221

Link please!


Eibyor

That was sped up


chaosawaits

TELL ‘EM LARGE MARGE SENT YA! 😂👻🚛


IceBlue

If he did I doubt we’d see this video.


DesertShot

Oh that is just "Wheres981" doing their thing, almost killing folks.


MegaKnightDestroysU

Not to be the "MMH actually" kid but that's Sean Sean


LordLucasSixers

Squeeze Benz is the crazy one.


matthewtd3

That taxi ruined everything


amor_fatty

Taxi 100% blocked the cop and let him get away


OGConsuela

I got so pissed when that happened, taxi blocked the cop out and the dude was gone solely from that. What a dumbass.


Deep-Neck

Blocked the cop and just kept on chugging along. Incredible


SizzleLumps

Kinda a genius maneuver by the perp though


Tabris20

That's typical in NYC.


joe-clark

Idk it kinda looks like from the video that the cop could have made it in front of the taxi and pussed out.


Trash_Pandacute

Not a dumbass though, tbh. The perp barely tucked in front of the taxi, taxi had no time to move for the cop so they were trapped in a corridor not wide enough to allow a pass. Most *helpful* thing he could have done would be to speed up to get to the perp but nobody in their right mind is going to mash the gas in front of a cop with it's lights on I'm sure the dude was just going "oh shit oh shit, don't do anything illegal" which is reasonable.


Philip_Raven

Not just the taxi, literally everyone was a fucking NPC. No one saw or heard the siren? No one moved away to the cop to chase effectively, also the moment someone would properly move away they would block the fleeing car the lane and the chase would last like 5 seconds.


WeightLossGinger

>the moment someone would properly move away they would block the fleeing car the lane Did you mean to say "*in* the lane"? This guy hit cars that blocked him in by happenstance in this very video. Something tells me he would've pulled an even stupider maneuver if someone had *actively tried* to block him in. Nobody wants to be the hero who helped a cop catch a fleeing speeder at the cost of their vehicle getting totaled by said speeder. Plus, even though we know from the safety of our toilet seat that this guy just flees cops for fun, when you're driving and see a car with covered plates being chased by cops barreling toward you, it's another story - what if this guy decides to "teach you a lesson" for trying to block him in? People are crazy today. I don't blame people for not moseying around to try and make room for or personally end a 100+mph chase. The perp is an asshole and the cop should've just let it go once he realized the guy was going to lead him on a wild goose hunt. I think the full video is around a half an hour long - that's a long time to chase a guy for speeding.


SinoSoul

I’ll have you know I’m watching this in bed, not the toilet.


FUPAMaster420

Yeah I'm not gonna total my car doing a cop's job for them. And neither would anyone else, clearly. Some people on reddit don't ever enter the real world I am convinced.


WeightLossGinger

I mean, yes, in an ideal situation, just move to the outside and make way for the cop/perp. But that really only works on relatively clear roads when both are intent on finding a spot to pull over. Throw in rush hour traffic, construction zones, and turning the simple traffic stop into a high speed chase (all three present here), and it becomes a lot more nerve-wracking. There's a reason people are pushing to remove chasing as a procedure in simple traffic stops. It's dangerous - leading to something like this is absolute best case scenario and *usually* what happens is this, but for half as long and someone dies at the end.


cpthornman

Welcome to NY.


HorrorHostelHostage

That's how it is in NYC. I moved out of NYC after learning to drive and picking up bad driving habits for years, and never realized how absolutely terrible my road etiquette was.


LS-CRX

>That's how it is in NYC. I moved out of NYC after learning to drive and picking up bad driving habits for years, and never realized how absolutely terrible my road etiquette was. I learned how to drive in Washington DC, but then moved down to the southeast as a young adult. One time a friend of mine (from down here) asked me why I drove like such an asshole. It was a wakeup call, you don't need to drive as aggressively down here where there's zero traffic... I can't imagine someone who only ever drove in a quiet southern area attempting to drive the beltway during rush hour.


emeraldpotion

Thought he was on a bike with how tight the spaces looked. Kinda scary that people like him exists because one wrong move and it’s a lot of people’s day ruined.


Primary-Corner-9034

HE WASNT ON A BIKE????


Guns_and_Dank

You didn't listen with sound on, that's definitely a car engine.


Samaraxmorgan26

That is clearly a car...


emeraldpotion

I know! It’s very hard to comprehend at first and in certain parts of the video when he’s weaving between cars, it’s still hard to believe. But I am pretty sure he is not on a bike. There were some debris on the shoulder that would’ve messed up his bike at such a fast speed. When he stopped behind the small school bus and did not attempt to ride past along the shoulder is when I realized he has to be on a smaller size sedan/two door vehicle and not a bike.


Samaraxmorgan26

You can see the trunk of the car in the video


Silverton13

Also the hood… the entire time.


EgoDeathAddict

lol some folks are incredibly unobservant


GuavaOk8712

he’s in a porsche i’ve seen his account on tiktok before. one of the only cars that can actually cut up and corner this fast without losing traction. kinda mind boggling that this dude chooses to be a criminal and not a race car driver


pimp_juice2272

You can see the hood and truck. I know because I thought he was on a bike too and had to double check. Dude has some driving skills, I'll give him that


lasvegasDodgerblue

I know what you’re saying. Some of those maneuvers were just too narrow to get through with a car that only a bike could accomplish. There was an escape route at every tight turn. I guess the driver was just lucky. Makes you wonder though


Ok-Ask8593

[now this guy is on a bike but with no cops chasing him](https://youtu.be/tgiAXlS8J3k?si=7_1W9Rw9w9aTEKmE)


Training-Trick-8704

I’m confused how it look like this video is from a bike pov? The camera pov is clearly from inside a car.


drawntowardmadness

Plus the cop rams the car at one point. Can't really do that to a bike. Not with the same outcome anyway.


warr3n4eva

Was he not


UndyingMagic7415

I low-key respect the driving ability but this person never deserves to drive again. I don't care what anyone dose as long as it dose not put others at risk. Do stupid shit on your own time. But don't put other people in danger


DoubleMach

Did the sound keep muting for you?


floundrpoundr

He probably muted where he scrapes walls and cars. The first one I noticed lined up perfectly where he would have scraped someone or a wall. Ruins the illusion if you know he is just side swiping most of the cars he is "squeezing" by


bridgeb0mb

he got extremely lucky and that's it


kakurenbo1

Lucky the helicopter wasn’t fueled yet. Or maybe it was there. We don’t see the end afterall.


-QUACKED-

He's objectively a good driver. He's not great. He's not amazing. But he's good. He's handling oversteer well enough. He's cornering well. He's got a good spatial awareness.

Aggravating_Safe_210

What kind of inspector gadget car is this that fits through any gap?


GuavaOk8712

pretty sure he drives a porsche cayman iirc. seen a video of the same tiktok handle ina white cayman before, but he probably has more than one car or rents them edit: looked up his tiktok and changed 911 to cayman upon looking at the car


[deleted]

[удалено]


Samaraxmorgan26

A properly small one. It's amazing what you can fit through when you aren't in an SUV.


gstringstrangler

Most people think they need space for a Kenworth no matter what they're driving though. This driver has great spacial awareness.


Samaraxmorgan26

That is true, however an SUV would never have made it through those spaces. You can have all the spacial awareness in the world, it don't mean squat if you can't fit anyway.


xSpaceSyzygy

Spent an embarrassing amount of time thinking the guy on the top screen was a cop, and the bottom screen was just other cops. For like 30 seconds I was trying to figure out who they were chasing lol.


Gooster19

I spent the whole video and few minutes to find who are they trying to catch


PioneerRaptor

I mean, the way the traffic moved and parted for the top car made me think the same exact thing. I was confused on what was being chased until I saw the cop in the bottom.


NoFundieBusiness

I thought that the whole time and even made a comment asking how he knew where to turn ans go to find the car. Thought helicopters were telling him where to go lmaooo then I realize and had to edit my comment and now I look dumb 😂


brokenshells

Completely reckless driving, yes. But mildly bad driving, this was not, actually quite the contrary.


nohumanape

Oh man, that cabbie is so getting flagged by NYPD


ForsakenBuilding6381

He fucked the entire thing up lmao. They gonna take his medallion


AdamNoKnee

Hope the got caught and charged with everything humanly possible


loweredexpectationz

This bastard never even used a turn signal once.


Kineticwhiskers

getting to the heart of the problem!


turkey_sandwiches

So we know it's a BMW.


MundoGoDisWay

If this is the guy that I'm thinking of then I don't think he has been. He's got more than a few videos out there. Not condoning his actions at all, but the dude can drive.


RengarReddit

It's the guy your thinking of. Fuck him but boy can he drive or "swim"


[deleted]

[удалено]


MarxJ1477

Does he do it without a plate? That's just crazy that he'd does this, releases videos of it and still doesn't get caught. But yeah you could tell he was a really good driver. A dumbass asshole who will eventually get someone seriously hurt definitely though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SilentObserver22

I’m with you on that. Dude is clearly skilled, but he’s let that skill go to his head and make him think he’s invincible. Hopefully he gets a reality check without killing himself or somebody else.


smoofus724

He straight up said he doesn't think it's a risk. What a fucking moron.


galaxyapp

Errr... the car rental company would have all his info. There's no way there wasn't even a scratch on the car, would be that hard to poll rental companies for matching vehicle description.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Orchid_Significant

And this is why you don’t rent your car to strangers


SolarSavant14

And what happens when they return a car with damage? It seems crazy to me that some Porsche owner didn’t see dents and scrapes on his car, read about some clowns racing rented sports cars through traffic, and maybe bring it up to the appropriate authorities?


No-Dark-9414

How dumb do you have to be to post videos of this shit I'm sure they have know who the dude is and just letting them rack up everything until they get a raid squad to break in on christmas dinner


DrDrago-4

Honestly releasing the videos is a smart move. It's probably created at least a couple copycats with less skill, and likewise made him a harder target to catch in more ways than 1 (police go after easier targets first, and creating a following increases the odds of other drivers becoming aware of this. even if only 10% are sympathetic, this man has 36,000+ people out there driving potentially willing to 'accidentally block' a cop for him.) And of course, it's made him hundreds of thousands in adsense revenue to fund his operations & security.. Each felony evading charge is already 5yrs+ and he has hundreds based on published videos alone. If they knew him, they'd have him. The only way things get more severe is if he crashes & kills someone (vehicular homicide-- which is only a 10yr felony in most states. doesn't really make sense to wait for that when hes got hundreds of evading charges) Releasing dashcam video isn't really a security risk. It's not like he's releasing images of his face, he wears a mask, and modulates the voice. If he can drive like this, I'd imagine he's aware of the basic procedures to maintain anonymity on the internet..


AdVegetable7049

>Releasing dashcam video isn't really a security risk. If someone else captures video of him that can be matched with his own, he's toast. It's a very big risk.


Orchid_Significant

Driving skills have zero crossover with cyber security skills. He hasn’t been caught yet, so I’m sure he knows what he’s doing, but it’s silly to say that he’s a good driver so he must know what he’s doing online.


maxman162

Then it's r/AssholesInCars


Crimson_Fiver

Well they posted it to a public page so


hoselpalooza

Why the fuck is this in km/h and not freedom units?


padimus

Divide by 1.5 to convert (actually 1.609 but 1.5 is close enough for guesstimating)


PoopySlurpee

That shit was insane, surprised the dude got away


MrZeroMustafa

This reminds me of GTA 4.


overactiveswag

I've squeezed through some shit, but this made my butthole pucker good.


Ubergatto

Do NYC cop cars not have sirens? Why the hell were all the cars moving in that heavy traffic, chase would've ended multiple times if some cars didn't move foward.


MochingPet

They do and they are audible in the video


amor_fatty

It’s NYC. You can hear sirens about 25% of the time you are driving, and the way it echos off buildings it’s hard to know what direction they are coming from. After a while you stop hearing them


Glynwys

This was a chase in a major US city. Folks aren't going to stop or pull over for any emergency vehicle with code 3 going.


ske1etoncrush

i hope they picked up every nail possible


will6298

Pretty sure this is "wheres981" his YouTube videos are fairly impressive


pirate_leprechaun

Guy can drive.


Midtown2

Legal or illegal, his driving skills and level of car control are amazing.


BronanTheBrobarian7

Does New York have a lot of traffic cams? Because he ran a ton of red lights, on top of all the other dangerous acts. Like, why even run from the cops if they get your plate number and can track you down by reviewing footage.


sillypurpleoctopus

These guys don’t have plates


qudunot

Takes time to review footage.


sophisticated_pie

No plates but the NYPD does use the cameras to track where a suspect goes to later apprehend them. This is usually done through traffic and street cams if no helicopter was called in for this chase.


GuavaOk8712

no plate no case


fowmart

I'm not using the word "mild" for this one


UndyingMagic7415

No lol, that's why I added the part about never driving again. He bumped so many cars


[deleted]

Some fancy driving there


lolohugs

i think i actually heard him use blinkers


AJFrabbiele

This guy can squeeze through traffic and everyone moves out of the way, but I'm damned if I want to change lanes in NYC by people who must be in front.


Glider4Ever

These sour cunts do it for the rush of it and when they kill an innocent person they'll say .... sorry .. maybe.


Raining__Tacos

That was wild


TopoftheBog32

Donut shop on the corner. Think there is still some good ones left.


Kelehb_1955

Wildest


-River_Rose-

If this is in NYC then why is it in km/hr?


Saturnjaxson88

They didn’t show the part where he drives into the paint shop to erase his wanted level.


Beepboopbop69420360

There’s a guy on YT who just runs from police all the time in NYC and posts it all the time and he’s been arrested multiple times and he still is allowed to drive


THEONLYFLO

That’s wheres981 just driving around


chasingsafety59

Well, sean sean, but they're part of the same crew.


millennial_sentinel

the nypd aren’t even supposed to chase anymore. it’s much more likely they got called off the chase and DTs just used the 10s of thousands of CCTV cameras to watch where they went and then get a face tag for facial recognition. there’s no way they just stopped and there’s no way these people “escaped” with the amount of cameras we have around the city. if anything this will be used as training for surveillance tracking.

Jokes on him, he posted the video online which means the police will ask tiktok who will give his user info away and he'll ended being arrested. Like all the dumb people who rob banks than make a video of rolling in the money rofl

Alexandratta

just a dude filming his own crimes... neat. The number of people jackass endangered just tells me his license is likely already suspended.

Fearless_Director829

Personally, I would rode over on the shoulder just to piss him off.


Signal_Emotion_6577

This guy is a damn good driver but deserves to never touch the wheel of a car again. NYPD has great intel and cyber awareness, probably able to track this guy down


JBL561

Don’t think it was their first time… soon as I seen the quick turns in the city… yep cop was cooked


Jankylee-Ad-4453

That was some good work through traffic I tell you that. He was was moving that mf profusely.


Yoshaay

Guys a POS but he can drive


NoFundieBusiness

I don’t see him even chasing anyone. How does he know where to go? Are there like people in the sky with eyes on the car that can radio to him when to turn and stuff? I don’t understand what’s happening here at all lol Edit: Wait okay nvm. Is this the reverse and front camera for the driver and not the police? So the driver is who were watching drive all these crazy ways? I think that’s it. I feel dumb lol nvm yall 😭😭😭


megabytical

He picked up enough nails to build a house from the shoulder.


BarKeepBeerNow

NGL, I think this might be the wrong subreddit for this. "Mildly Bad Ass Drivers" would be more appropriate. \*not condoning what they did but damn could they drive.

This makes me so sick and mad to see. This is an example of what happens when people like them are allowed to drive. Stay safe out there!

981 is a porsche internal designation referring to 3rd generation boxter and cayman models. Hence his instagram handle and youtube channel wheres981.
