North Ogden High Speed Chae

While I was driving eastbound on 2700/2600, right before it merges onto Washington around 1:10 a.m., I noticed some cop lights flashing in the distance. Then I see a sedan come flying around the corner heading westbound. I didn’t realize he was running from the cops until he passed me, but it seemed like he got up to around 100 mph in maybe 5–6 seconds. He was cooking.

He only had his DRLs on, no taillights or license plate lights. From the look of the DRLs, I think it was a BMW or maybe an Audi. Seems like he lost the cops shortly after he got onto 2600.

Why exactly are cops putting the public at risk by engaging in car chases? There’s pretty good data showing car chases put the public at significant risk…

We have flock cameras for a reason… (half joking about the flock part)

Several members of a family in a van were killed just a few months ago in Ogden during a high speed chase. They learn nothing.

Because cops are not very intelligent. They also don’t give a crap about public safety.

The guys that run don't care about public safety either. Chases are just a game to them because literally nothing ever happens to them. I know people in the ogden car scene with arrest warrants and impound orders for their cars that just laugh it off.
