[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=242YqeItGnE]YouTube - Australian "Highway Patrol" motorbike chase w. actual dash-camera footage @ 7:15[/ame]
The above is a segment from an Australian reality show "Highway Patrol" where they ride with, surprise surprise the traffic police. This video features a member of another Aussie motorbike forum I go to...
Now.... I am not condoning his actions.
But I thought I would throw it up here, as this video actually has the raw footage that he received as part of his defence. It is interesting watching it, reading the annotations and then seeing how it actually went down. Interesting to watch the dangerous driving of the police and their less than savoury comments along the way (ram him!!) that didn't make it into the TV version.
There is a saying, "You can't let the truth get in the way of a good story."
Bit of background...
He was on a suspended licence. Had modified the number plate to avoid detection. And did a runner. This all happened late last year. He has been to court and the TV episode aired after this. Got a 2 year licence suspension and 200 hours community service. Avoided the criminal convictions the police tried to stick. He has since sold the bike and no longer drives (anything). Yes he was caught again 8 weeks after this one, but that was months and months before his court appearance where the licence was taken off him. He had another court appearance to go to though for it.
