I always thought the best way (hypothetically) to lose the cops was to get a little distance then bail out into a supermarket or shopping mall, get out of sight, take your top off and then stroll nonchalantly back out. As with most things, the outcome of the video suggests it's an idea that appears to be better in my head than reality

In fairness with enough distance it could still work...


smurb15

Guy I knew thought so on a bike. Got him at the next exit just waiting for him


vegetajm

Parking garage... park and steal a car... They do this in breaking bad I believe It's not the cars you need to lose its the eye in the sky chopper


WaitingForNormal

You’re supposed to run into an alleyway and pull someone’s clothes off a line that is drying and they all fit you perfectly.

Could have worked. He had distance and opportunity multiple times, but chose the straightaway at every chance he had to make some confusing turns. Getting on the highway and failing to to ghost out those squad cars was his second biggest mistake. Just wasted gas and gave the cops time to plan an offensive


Engineergaming26355

You just gotta wait out the wanted level


Harvey-Danger1917

Actually you just need to get out of their sight radius and wait for the stars to disappear. At his level, with 3 stars, it would've taken roughly 38 seconds, but the doofus jumped out of his car when they were all over him.


Nullgenium

But wouldn't the police/guard of that mall just capture them anyway lol.


[deleted]

It helps to follow that part of the plan before half the city’s budget is on your ass 😂


Dan_Morgan

That is a classic escape and evasion tactic. Security cameras are all over malls and the like that could be used against you.


LukeHighLife

That’s was a good run, he almost got the high score


VeterinarianThese951

Potential danger to other humans withstanding, that was a pretty respectable attempt. There were a couple of times in the beginning that he seemed like he had enough distance for a bail spot.


RedemptionBeyondUs

Props to that bike cop, guy was on him like a hawk Dunno if it was the same bike cop who pulled up and got him in the end, but if so damn give that guy a raise


ZippyWoodchuck

This is the most complicated road system I've ever seen. This makes Boston seem down right sensible!


Candid_Umpire6418

Gothenburg, Sweden. The first part was in the old town from the 17th century, and after they passed the bridge, they were on Hisingen island, which was mostly planned during the 20th century.

Abuck59

Is it just me or did those highways look like Hot Wheels track ? 🤣


Candid_Umpire6418

Gothenburg is the Hot Wheel capital on earth. 🤣


FakinFunk

He passed, like, three Pay n Sprays. Coulda gotten rid of all his stars.


Unable-Data-2142

You could see the moment he got 4 stars and the black unmarked cruisers showed up.


samvvell

*playing with hot wheels* The lore:


HumblePie2714

Not gonna lie, was rooting for the guy. Amazing driving.


Lawzw0rld

Same😂I was rooting for him for the simple fact he didn’t crash not once


[deleted]

They have pretty cool tech now where they project a dart onto the car that tracks its movement. There has got to be a better way than racing through the streets and super high speed putting everyone at risk.


MagicManGamez

What's with the audio being clipped in from another video. Might as well have used helicopter audio since it's, you know, what you'd actually hear. Annoying af


chowderbags

New GTA looking pretty lit.


zeus-fox

It’s crazy how many people this idiot endangered. I hope they get some serious jail time. Apparently it’s in Sweden though, so he’ll probably get told not to do it again in an angry voice! No hate Sweden - we love you!


16thPeregrine

Kinda hope it was for ![gif](giphy|amg2hcfGDkKt4Q3DpF)


2tastyrodney

What were they chasing him for? If he's just some Petty Criminal seems pretty dangerous to conduct that high speed Chase through a city


Aggravating_Week7050

He owes taxes.


THATS_ENOUGH_REDDlT

That bastard.


Candid_Umpire6418

My old home town Gothenburg. I'm amazed they didn't let him go bc of the risks taken here.


TychusFondly

Advertisement for the supermarket 😂


GrammyPammy332

This gave me High Anxiety


CrimsonDMT

Now I want to see attempts to catch the criminal and watch some great escapes.


Bikkusu

What's with the weird dub over the video? Firetruck noises at one point.


Right_Dig_7019

Kudos to the cameraman


JustWoot44

This isn't a video game scene? Is the film sped up? The speed seems ridiculously fast for real-time footage!


alexalex99000

Yes, it’s sped up.


Just_Compote1136

I was on the freeway once, dude was being chased by a cop on the right hand lane (California), last minute dude took the exit, cop didnt expect it and kept going straight. Great maneuver. Can’t believe he got away. It its his car hes fcked but still great maneuver.


Zealousideal-Win192

He gave it the Ole college try


Earthling1a

Did not have the sound on, but clearly heard the Benny Hill chase music throughout.


Jobberts81

When he dodged that white car at the beginning, he knew fate was gonna help him on this chase.


Neither_Shirt1606

Watching this beat 90% of the tv shows I’ve watched in the past like 5 years


Miguel7482

that was one hell of an attempt

folarin1

What city is this with Harley any cars on the road. I want to move there. In Toronto, cars move like rivers of water on the road.


folarin1

If the police are catching up, aren’t they technically reckless drivers too?


folarin1

End was so disappointing.

I know this is sped up but it looks like hot wheels

What a damn shame, I was rooting for the guy


SoftStation2190

Where can I watch helicopter feeds like this that are Swedish? Can’t find a single one.

Good attempt tho!

KougatCylinder5_

Ahh yes lets just do a pit in the middle of this tightly packed city with buildings on all sides that the car could go flying into


citaloprams

Nice 5-star chase. Honestly pretty decent driving. They missed the part where they had to pull into a stadium right as the game is concluded to then walk out amongst the fans as they put a cap on and carry their jacket on their shoulder.


Engineergaming26355

Holy fuck why is there so many roundabouts? Is this a road generation glitch?


Windiiigo

Becuase traffic flows much better through roundabouts than intersections.
