Yup, that was filmed just a couple of weeks before I single handedly apprehended the scumbag who broke into my Metro. To be honest it hurt when I hit the deck but off camera I ran after the truck TJ Hooker style and caught it at a red light.

Needless to say it will be a long time before the driver crosses my path again with a side exit exhaust...

The important thing is that the man is now disabled.
And restricted to a (standard) cobalt blue 3 wheeler Invacar.
With a standard exhaust.

Chalk down a score for the team Standard. :wink:

Much as other people may proffess the opposite Chris, the police are not subject to the laws they enforce.
they can speed, carry offensive weapons, assault, kidnap, kill, and do many other things that when applied to anyone else, would be classed as a crime. On the job its all good. And i suppose it wouldnt work any other way.
Criminals and Police have all the real power.
Its only the law abiding idiot that needs to worry.



and lets face it. Which one of us HASNT wanted to chase someone up the road unloading a 12gauge hanging out the side of a speeding car at some point?

Sign up. Live the dream. :lol:
