1994 Lexus LS400 evading police almost successfully

Where did he get caught? You said almost. It looks like it was lowered with wheels and tires, impressive gittyup for an old school LS. It looks like the cop was chasing him while going the speed limit! LOL! The cops in Los Angeles would have been right on him. They drive crazier than the average driver and they still use cellphones w/ no bluetooth!

cop cars couldnt have caught him once he hit the freeway and hit the ect button and went through the gears...the only chance the cops would have is the radio,otherwise the LS would over power those cars, also the chp stop chasing over 100 mph

LOL! 1'st gen drivers have great night vision, the headlights look the same on or off from behind the wheel!

Imo looks like he got away unless some other cops got him.

After reading the title and seeing the all the police lights... I was like damn.. they got him, but I didn't see it, I wonder if they say it over the radio. There no way it was boosted or he would have lost him along time ago. LA police officers are like Minneapolis ones, they get the thrill from driving 100+, seriously even down city streets they do well over 80 mph, and because the overall city is made up of several little cities, most of the districts have authority to be able to roam into other district in pursuit. Nice driving thats for sure.

lmao its so true its like my 1st gen has bday candles for headlights aha

Well, let's not get negative on the officer. Just because it is a Lexus doesnt mean the driver is not a criminal. Running like that highly increases the probability that some innocent person will be injured or killed be it a passenger, an officer, another person in another car or a pedestrian. IF the person does get arrested and unless the license plate is bogus is a HIGH probability he/she faces felony charges... not smart.

If the car was STOLEN then all of us on this thread would want the thief arrested.

Interesting video.

Take it easy, Officer Brady, nobody is dissing The Law here.


Apparently, the only conCLUSION here is that the headlights SUCK.

Officer was probably ordered to break off pursuit and another agency continued pursuit. It was likely a vehicle reported stolen.

MY OPINION: I've driven those Police Interceptor version of the Crown Vics and can say that they 100% suck compared to my LS400. I can't even parallel park those Crown Vics correctly because Ford designed that car retarded.
