Is it ok in a non-exotic car?

It's good to be the king.

The cameraman farking sucks at his job.

Shakeycam galore!

Of course this was just limited to the one Sgt and is just an anomaly. There isn't a corrupt culture that encouages this.

"Thinking the laws don't apply to you isn't normal, but on police powertripping, it is.

Who needs a police escort to do 100mph? They should be charged with Being Pussies.

RandomAxe: Identify 'em, confiscate the cars, sell them at auction and use whatever you earn to turn off sales tax at Wal-Mart for two hours, or something.

Any millionaire who doesn't cry when you take the car, you charge that one an extra $50k to cover the costs of replacing the cops involved.

I don't think that is codified into law, so your suggestion is at best a daydream.

also: they did it 2 years ago and the case is "still under investigation"

espn reports that it was a convoy including Brandon Jacobs going to atlantic city. link

Approves.

"the race was done at the request of Giants star Brandon Jacobs"

I think this tidbit should have been up in say, paragraph 1 or 2

This is supposedly called "death race" and apparently the poice were facilitating the whole thing. So stupid considering they were hardly racing, and more like following each other while doing triple digit speeds. Brandon Jacobs was in one of the cars..and it's just a bunch of douchebag rich dudes making a spectacle while all the pissants gawk and and try to move out of the privileged jerk-offs way...and u know, supporting the state troopers with God knows how much cashish and autographs...

....whole thing makes me ill...if some lady driving a mini-van with her newborn wailing in the back makes a wrong move while trying to get that sippy-cup for the 3 yr old and got killed because she didn't react in time..and possibly causing a chain reaction whereas many get hurt well....

...they'd just pay their way out I'm sure

Some animals are more equal than others.

Meh, tiny-dicked losers compensating for having, well, tiny dicks.

Fire the police officers involved and fine any of the motorists you can find.

You know how I know you're poor?

Sometimes boys will be boys, and besides you got to blow those type engines out once in a while.

Good thing you spent all of that money on an exotic sportscar, but you still can't go faster than a much cheaper police cruiser.

cig-mkr: and besides you got to blow those type engines out once in a while.

Not unless they're carbureted or turbo diesel, which they aren't. And even if they were, the effect is dependent on fuel flow and engine speed, which you can do at high rpm in 1st easier than in 6th, anyway.

What is it with people whose knee-jerk reaction to nice sports cars is, "They must be compensating for having a small dick"? What kind of hangups are they dealing with, I wonder?

Crazy as this might sound, some people really enjoy a gorgeous, finely-tuned, well-engineered car and would really enjoy owning one if they had the money. And it's got nothing to do with compensating for something (or a lack thereof), it because something like this ...

In 1977 I was running south out of Kingsville TX at 85 mph when a State Trooper's lights flashed in my mirrors. Thought my goose was cooked but to my surprise he just waved me to the side of the road, and a moment later an elegant Rolls Royce Phantom Phaeton IX bearing Prince Charles to the ranch of Ambassador Anne Armstrong whipped by me at 125+.

Some years later, Vice President George H.W. Bush passed through Corpus on his way to a hunting weekend in nearby Beeville; they cleared off the whole freeway for the VP's motorcade and mine was one of many hundeds of cars pulled over. I clocked the Vice President's car at 2:16 over a measured 4-mile span, for an average speed of 104 mph.

I have also seen lesser officials exceed speed limits when there was no need, and I routinely see police officers driving 80--100+ with no lights.

Just goes to show you, some pigs are a lot more equal than others in this Animal Farm.

I am pretty damn shocked that there were any serious accidents in that clusterfark.

100 mph in a car. Wow. Bravo. Real men do it on two wheels...with no windshield.

But then, those of us in NJ know Jacobs is soft.

You sound like you have a small dick...no but seriously, how many of those you got, or are you just window licking?

Whoa! 100? Cars cant go that fast i call BS. That would be INSANE.

You sir, are 100% correct.

I seriously wonder what the cop would have done if someone up front would have refused to get out of the way?

Did I say anything about the cars? No. I did not.

A whole 100 mph !!! Oh the humanity!1

So, a NFL player can call up the cops and request an escort? The hell?

Those there cops need a public paddlin.

It's because they're still working at Mcdonalds on their liberal arts degree, and they had to take the bus because their Pontiac Grand Am just broke down for the 17th time.

See this spoils the illusion of the reason for the speed limit and all those revenue gathering speeding tickets. Just the typical cop doing a 100mph because he feels like it is one thing. There's always the 'emergency call' that doesn't require having the rollers on and mysteriously gets canceled near the doughnut shop that us mundanes just couldn't know about. That can be lived with... but add a few rich athletes that some cops want to be friends with and well that's just going to spoil the whole scam. Someone has to pay. Better to sacrifice a cop or two than risk the millions of dollars the scam brings in every year.

Nick Nostril: A whole 100 mph !!! Oh the humanity!1

If there's a lot of traffic, that's not the best idea.

They're compensating for something. Or they're absurdly wealthy and are having trouble spending money fast enough. The vast majority of millionaires look just like everyone else. They drive practical vehicles, live in modest homes, and wear off-the-rack clothes.

I have to disagree with this statement. I live in an area with an exceptional amount of wealth and people are more than happy to show it. (British Properties in West Vancouver just in case anyone was wondering)
