Michigan LEOs are tough on unlicensed ORVs running on public roads...

then why did'nt he stop? if he stops the chase is over Didn't want to be messed with and charged protection money by the local mob. Not really that complicated when you look at it objectively. you sir are a real piece of work. i take it the are no laws to follow in hawkeyeville and everyone is friendly and merry.

The word "objectively" is his problem, or else he lives in a really bad place where objectivity is extremely skewed.

I agree but I feel the same way about bicycles that tend to hold up traffic, too. No license, no insurance and they pay no taxes to use that road!
.
I sure thought the police car could have caught the quad on the pavement easier than that showed, though. Kind of surprised me but then that was no fat ass like me riding the quad!! But what was she going to do if she caught up with him on the pavement? Execute him? Were you dropped on your head when you were a kid or something ?

Me and several buds were cuttin down the highway in between two large WestVaCo tracts. The Billy Bob deputies were on a crusade to score themselves some wheelers for their auctions. The word was they would "confiscate" any ORV on pavement. We rounded a curve, there was the fuzz comin the other way. [bleep] them, we took the ditch and tore out through the pines.
I think it was bullsh!t anyway, just for riding down the edge of the road.
You guys got it made out west, I passed several 4wheelers in Kanab. Heck they ride through town, pull into the gas pumps, grocery store.
Don't know why the law are such bitches in the south about these type things. Yup,here in Montana ATV's and UTV's can be made street legal for about $200.00.

My first response would have been why are you chasing? Absent a damn good reason my next response would have been terminate chase.

Unregistered/uninsured vehicle speeding on a public thoroughfare.....open and shut case.
Copper was doing his job.
The part I do not get is the number of dills on this forum that are willing to ignore tossers doing unlawful, dangerous, stupid things just so that they can fnck over the cops.
I wonder how permissive you lot would be if that same tosser skittled your wee little Grand-daughter?
Personally, I do not have a problem with coppers shooting dangerous tossers...over there, or over here.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I made it a point never to chase someone I couldn't catch...and to make'em wish they hadn't once I caught'em.
Had a family member, 1st cousin, run from the cops one night. He died in a wreck. His Dad was upset. Me being a cop, I could only listen to the bullcrap so long. Someone runs for no reason, they are simply morons. If they have a reason to run...they are double morons.
Cops aren't beyond reproach, but the person who runs, bears the responsibility for what happens.

So..... What is the top speed of a quad anyway..... For factory and then the um, modified versions? Stock they're in the 60-70 mph range I guess. Dunno for sure. I know mine pushed triple digits and beyond with the gearing I had. Holy mackerel..

The word "objectively" is his problem, or else he lives in a really bad place where objectivity is extremely skewed. What I meant by that word in that context was to look at it form the perspective of someone who was born totally at liberty, who wasn't messed with so long as he wasn't harming anyone. Put that person in this context and then try to see how he'd perceive being chased by a cop so the cop can oblige him to make a payment of several hundred dollars to her gang under penalty of her gang kidnapping him and tossing him in a prison cell, or worse should he resist. That's seeing it objectively. A biased view (good or bad) would be the one we're all taught in civics class, i.e., look to the greater good of everyone needing to abide by rules, and punishments applied to those who don't abide by them. See, that's not the objective perspective. That's the perspective that's biased towards what we've all been indoctrinated into since childhood.

I know mine pushed triple digits and beyond with the gearing I had. Holy mackerel.. 60-70 doesn't sound too fast to somebody used to doing it in the safety of a car, or even a street bike, but on a quad? And faster??  I have been to just past 90 in a boat. It's a WHOLE different experience than doing 90 in a car on a smooth highway! I'm imagining that it would be the same pucker factor on a quad!

Let's say she caught up with him, but he still wasn't pulling over. What was she going to do then?

Capsicum spray or taser at 60mph should just about solve the problem.
