I’m always shocked at the people who run from the police only to be caught and not be hiding anything, not having warrants or drugs/guns on them. Why run at that point, for fun? I’m not risking my license for a thrill. Motorcycles make a little more sense that you would believe you can get away but still how boring does your life have to be to find that thrilling.
