well, what if the persuit was for a stolen car?



From the video, it looks like an opening on the left side of the fence. And the cop just happens to get stuck to the right of it.

I just found out, I don't have a life!

I can't belive I've watched that video 10 times already!

It seems that the fence is made in a ditch/trench!

LOL!

That's court TV and a version of cops...... if they'd had a break in the fence it would easily been seen the next day at sunrise. They still have not figured out how he did it. Garden city cops have confirmed there is no obvious gaps.

that doesn't mean anything. they can't just show up at the registered owner's doorstep and arrest him, they have no evidence it was him driving

scary stuff still i say

Ill admit that sounds like one of the things to do in my afterlife.

The car was a total pos. Look like some sort of century to me.

I think he ran over the fence then turned off his lights. You can see the fence bounced back.

his lights were still on after he passed the fence. if the cop sees the gap then he will pursuits after it but he didn't.

Default Cop chasing a ghost car

I am not really sure whether this thread should belong to Car Chat or not. But since it has to do with a car. We'll see.

http://share.youthwant.com.tw/sh.php...dk=4eb74&apid=

This is a website based in Taiwan but the video clip was taken here in the States.

It's pretty freaky that a car could simply disappear into thin air just like that. It's also pretty weird that when the car seemed to have been accelerating away from the cop, its brake light was still going on the off as if it was slowing down.

Can anyone figure out what make/model the car being chased is? My guess is it's either a late 80s/early 90s vintage Chrysler New Yorker or Dodge Dynasty.

Jon

It was an alien reconnaissance ship in disguise. It made the jump to hyper space/light speed.

Creepy though.

But it didn't disappear. When the cops lost sight of it for a bit he probably just turned off his lights.

As for going 'through' the fence, my guess is either there was an opening one side or the other of where the cop pull over and we just didn't see it in the dark, or the fence could actually be driven right over by it being pushed flat to the ground and then springing back up after.

It's also pretty weird that when the car seemed to have been accelerating away from the cop, its brake light was still going on the off as if it was slowing down.
My guess is the driver's adrenaline caused him/her to have a foot on both pedals.

Anyway, doesn't seem that mysterious to me!

He actually went under the fence.

If you look closley, the post isnt attached to the ground. As he hits the fence, it just scrapes over the top of his car.

As the cop rolls to a stop, you can see that the fence is still bouncing up and down.

I agree.

From the way the video is showing, there seems to be some controversies.

It's just rather odd to me that this guy can actually put his foot on the brake pedal and accelerate away in the dirt (where the fences are) like this. Unless he's gotten a faulty brake light, he should've gotten stuck in the mud.

Okay, out of curiosity, I've actually found this site. Just don't beat my head with a stick.
