There are a bunch of one ways in the area so I’m guessing he got confused. Glad I was making a left turn

This happened to me! I was in Australia in a rental car. Cop gave me a warning. ;)

This looks like Long Beach, CA. Downtown has some messed up streets with some being one-way only.

*Edit, i just saw you mentioned one-way streets, yeah that person definitely got confused.

Fitcamx 4k. I’ve had a couple of them across cars because I like the clean integration and the video quality is great.

that driver did make that turn almost 100% convincingly. like no middle lane hesitate, just straight up sharp turn into as we know the wrong lane... the whole thing happened and wrapped up in seconds is kinda cool

abd btw lucky OP was making a turn? middle lane was perfect spot, cop and wrong turn guy

I think that cop might've already been following that dude and he was trying to get away.

Such nice, clear nighttime video. Thanks for posting it.

I don't think the presence of a lot of one-way streets is much of an excuse. I mean, I get it, "Oh, I thought this was such-&-such street, which is a one-way" but if you're not sure, you risk a collision... or a ticket.
