Florida Highway Patrol Pursuit Reaches 142 MPH, Cruiser Catches Fire

[@RealWorldPolice]

Update: Colonel Gene S. Spaulding, director of the Florida Highway Patrol, released the following statement: “The Florida Highway Patrol is committed to public safety and troopers must balance the need to quickly intercept unsafe drivers while using due care to conduct traffic enforcement activities. In this instance, FHP immediately reviewed the incident and assigned additional training to the responding trooper [Bryan Zegers] on May 1, 2018, to improve overall public safety.”

[@calebdavis1323]

So let me get this straight. The RAV4 driver is going 20 mph over the speed limit. This is considered dangerous and therefore he is to be pulled over and given a ticket. The officer that catches him goes 72mph over the speed limit along with cutting across a highway median and passing other cars on the shoulder at well over 100 mph in the name of public safety. Seems about as ass-backwards as something can get to me.

[@ucap6486]

While I agree that the Trooper shouldn't have gone THAT fast (he was just trying to catch up to the car), I don't have an issue with HOW he drove. He was running lights and sirens, and on top of that, LEOs have EVOC training. That is a part of the academy where you pass or fail. I'm totally fine with how he drove, just not the speed at which he traveled.

Pulls me over asking if I thought running a red light in front of a cop was a good idea. I told him “entering the intersection on a yellow is not running a red light, but doing a U Turn in the middle of a busy intersection filled with heavy snow just to power trip a teenager doesn’t sound very smart to me.” He said “wait right here, you’re getting a ticket.” I said “officer, audio and video of this incident for front and rear of my vehicle will be used in court, what will the outcome of harassing me be?” He gave me a nasty look and said, “have a merry Christmas” got back in his car and drove off.

Speeds may vary, but any officer enforcing speed limit laws usually has to speed to catch up to the offending vehicle to conduct a traffic stop. The faster the offender is going, the faster the officer must go to be able to get within range to signal the driver to stop. Once motorists decide to stop going 20 over, you will no longer have to worry about a police officer speeding to catch up to them.

Did 145 to catch someone doing 20 over. Priorities right? 😂

[@fcaughli]

You mean you don't think that going 140 and weaving around 60 or 70 mph traffic to catch a guy that was doing 90 was a good idea. You don't want some innocents killed?

[@haydenr7528]

@@fcaughli naw man that driver is the real hazard! Its deffinatley not wrong to go almost 50% faster and potentially cause more harm to stop a low value suspect going slower than them .

[@mrmoparrr]

Hot exhaust caught grass on fire ? Cat must have been glowing!

[@nunya2524]

He says there is FIRE EVERYWHERE! I can't stop laughing. He couldn't keep his cool enough to remove the locking pin on his fire extinguisher, how is he supposed to make cool headed decisions about guns and others lives? He cannot properly decide how fast he should NOT travel but he has a gun, how sad. Thats what we get for militarizing our police who are supposed to "Protect and Serve", not hunt and chase like predators for the sake of speeding fines. I just see this as symptomatic of larger issues with all our police forces.

[@mattlane2282]

Protect and serve is a joke... they are not supposed to do that... they are to catch who ever wronged you... not protect you... court ruled...

[@graceleah3216]

Dennis K. : he looks at the fire extinguisher and says “what the hell is this ?” He went back to his truck to find the instructions on how to remote the safety pin from the fire extinguisher.

[@graceleah3216]

Matt Lane : which case law from the Supreme Court says that ?

[@axil157]

He’s not a police officer. He’s a state trooper. Speeding tickets and accident reports. No real criminal stuff for these weed watchers. (SARCASM) Lol good observation on the fire extinguisher kicking his ass

[@Av3ntur0zky]

Wow.. That cop didnt even know how to use a fire extinguisher. Fire his ass lol

[@terranceaddison4599]

Hes already toast

[@Av3ntur0zky]

@Nobody Knows Yes i have been trained and used it as a safety class.

[@informitas0117]

@Nobody Knows wtf it's not rare to have been trained in extinguishing.

[@Av3ntur0zky]

@Nobody Knows Did you know cops are trained how to operate one and case of emergency.

[@Av3ntur0zky]

@Nobody Knows definitely he was trained but obviously he didnt learn anything at all.

This is why Toyota's are better. - Scotty Kilmer (probably)

[@retiredandroaming]

Yeah, Toyotas can't get over 100. Exhaust stays cool. :)

[@gregoryclemen1870]

you are so correct!!!!!, scotty would say "THOSE AMERICAN BUILT S.U.Vs ARE JUNK!!!!

[@brianlowe251]

I often wonder why an officer is justified to go speeds of +/- 150mph to catch a guy going 7 mph over on a 65mph highway

[@delwynhallett565]

What a wanker... All he needed to do was stop on the road... and put the fire out... Car should come out of his pay check

[@MaximillionBucks]

It won't, it'll fall on the taxpayers, such as the rav4 driver, to pay for his idiocy. This is the problem with cops, they fleece the taxpayers for "commuter fees" then turn around and break their shit, and demand payment for it.

[@benjaminc8789]

Delwyn Hallett ....stop on the road ? It’s like a 3 lane highway you donut . It wouldn’t of happened if the driver wasn’t speeding . You get ? Your logic is skew

[@humams5034]

Benjamin C ohh okat so it's the drivers fault. Should we bill him for the actions of the idiot cop?

[@newname4405]

Benjamin C rofl.

[@howleh]

I’m not convinced this officer actually has public safety in mind. He does 135 plus and passes on the shoulder to pull over someone doing 90ish? I appreciate his enthusiasm but these FHP guys, in my experience, think THEY are above the law as well.

[@petergriffin383]

Face it... he's a dumb fuck that shouldn't be anywhere near a badge & a gun.

[@MANTAMANBREAK]

They gotta get that "Quota" basically that's all FHP does is write summons and investigate accidents, they are more like clerks than cops !!!

[@Audisport99]

So the cop wanted to pull this person for going 90 and here he is driving over 140 mph and driving in the shoulder at that speeds..... smh 🤦🏻‍♂️ Updated Comment For those who are saying “He is a trained officer and he can break the law to catch someone for speeding”..... a well trained officer would rather keep the public safe rather then putting their life’s in danger and specially his. What he should of done was called it in on the radio for the next unit near by the area the vehicle was traveling. That said the public isn’t trained and his lucky no one moved to his side on the shoulder causing an accident.

[@JKIZZLLE]

win toto stupid right?

[@Howard3S]

To catch law breakers. You can break the law...but you are responsible if it goes bad. He's trained and the car is setup for it.

[@Thatguyujustmet]

Except he’s not breaking the law by doing those speeds. That being said, I’d agree with other’s that his driving was too dangerous for the circumstances.... specifically: the pass on the shoulder.
