Got into a pursuit last night. It was awesome!!! We got a call over the radio that the county next to Culpeper was in pursuit of a motorcycle doing excess of 150 miles per hour on Route 29. The motorcycle went by two Culpeper County Deputies and smoked them. I had set myself up on a on ramp to Route 299 just to see the motorcycle go by at 150 miles an hour.
The motorcycle didn't see me sitting up there on the bridge and next thing I knew he was slowing down. I then saw him get onto the entry ramp to Route 299 and I knew that he was coming to me. I turned on my lights and siren and the motorcycle went by me. I followed him and he turned into a subdivision. He then made a left turn in the subdivision and then another left turn. When he made the second left turn he layed the bike over and crashed. I caught the guy by his bike. I got to pull my gun on him and order him to the ground. WHen he didn't go I helped him to the ground (it was only a little use of force) and handcuffed him.
The guy was drunk and blew a .20 grams per 210 liters of breath (the legal limit is a .08). He was really drunk and really stupid. 150 mph on a motorcycle with that much alcohol on board is death on a stick!
Anyway, Just wanted to tell you all about my exciting night.

Not promoting speeding or anything but I got a smile out of this. I own one of these bikes.
I haven't lost a pursuit before. All of the ones that I have been in ended up in a crash or we boxed the car in. Oh, one time I threw the spikes on a car also so that is another thing that can happen.
In the end the guy turned a smiple misdemeanor into a really serious felony. Way to go idiot!
The guy is lucky he wasn't a big red skid.
As long as the danger is minimal we will chase people. If people start getting away all of the time because we don't chase them then it will be a bad world.
There is no technology to slow down a motorcycle. We can spike a car but think about what that would do to a motorcycle. Not a good idea.
Btw...It was a Honda motorcycle, sport bike. Not sure of the model but they guy didn't even damage his bike much. He came out in pretty good shape.
