Someone pardon this man.
But, but, I need a photo of this performance mod…
pics or it didn’t happen
Here’s the video, but sadly it doesn’t show the inside of the truck.

“high” speed chase indeed
Why was he let go with so many priors?
Arrested != convicted
If someone managed to get arrested so many times without getting a conviction the one or other time, it would be a cause for a harrasment claim against the police.
I mean, in some areas they just throw you in the holding cell until you sober up, which would be an arrest. Dude probably knows someone in the system.
Every layer of the legal system is broken, and lots of people benefit from not fixing it.
Why should he be locked up just because of a bunch of stupid laws?
Because the law is still valid? If you consider the law stupid, do something against it.
I personally don’t consider it stupid to forbid driving under influence, regardless of the means.
Because the law is still valid?
Are you asking me or telling me? Because either way no it isn’t. Laws are bullshit and you should break them just on principle.
Sorry, all of them? You don’t think that sometimes, it’s good for some things to not be allowed?
does it not “being allowed” mean it won’t happen?
In the case of this gentleman, I suppose not. However, I believe that driving after consuming drugs that impede your ability to drive should have a punishment of some kind. It is a matter of public safety. It’s irresponsible to drink and drive, it’s irresponsible to be on heroin while driving.
Agreed. But it should be your own morality that prevents that. A law shouldn’t even be something you consider when making the decision not to.
Maybe I’m just insane, but I think that laws making it illegal to be on meth while driving are reasonable. That’s just me though.
Ethical catch and release
What? Is he too small?
What if, hear me out, you confiscated the car at any of the previous 95 stops?
Oh yeah this is America so it will make it impossible for you to live… You know what, in that scenario dash bong seems totally reasonable.
Somehow, we manage to have the problem of assholes like this racking up dozens upon dozens of priors with (obviously) ineffective punishment and would-be productive citizens languishing with long prison sentences for trivial offenses at the same time.
95 arrests, not 95 stops
I knew he wasn’t black, (the odds of being arrested 97 without being fatally shot is too small) but is he an ex-cop or related?
What I see from the banana republic it doesn’t take too much, certainly repeat offenses to put you in jail for decades/life.
This guy still can drive and what’s even more strange is the lack of name and mugshot.
American news invariably shame their criminals, publish the address etc…
So who is this guy?Nobody. Washington seems to have a lot of repeat offenders that are in and out of the legal system. There’s been multiple instances where someone out on bail commits another crime and makes headlines.
98!
that’s Epstein levels of protection if you’re still free.
He definitely needs to get arrested 2 more times now
322*
You must appreciate his persistence.
Paywall BTW.
@10s did the cop try to pit him off an overpass?
Two more and he’ll get a free ice cream
A high speed chase, or a high speed chase?
Also: wtf was with the pit maneuver when oncoming traffic was like less than a 100 feet ahead? Dumbass shit.
This whole chase was idiotic. Poor pit maneuver. Chasing suspect through traffic and intersections.
I have been living my whole life wrong.
Ok but the judge already said that.
My friend’s dad had a kegerator built into his truck. Tap was in the center console.
He’s either dead or still driving tow trucks.
Let’s hope for the former
Reminds me of a story I heard like 20-30 years ago. Some German dude wrecked his Merc on the autobahn… the cops get there and he just wreaks of schnapps but they find no bottles, no means of consumption. The car gets towed to a police station to be examined and they found that he had diverted the window washing tank into the cabin, dude wants a pug of schnapps and he hits his window washer button.
That is a level of ingenuity that I love to see in people. Application of it is nooot great but he’s got the spirit.
Don’t you mean spirits?
I am pissed off that I watched that video, and they didn’t show the damn dash bong.
Came to say the same. I was looking for inspiration!
I was thinking, “any second and they’re gonna show that bong”. Nope. Very disappointing.
I KNOW RIGHT WHY DO YOU THINK WE EVEN CLICKED ON THIS
Indeed, I wanted to see how the crazy mounted his bong on the dashboard. Adhesive, self-tapping screws, bolts, etc…on a gryo base?
bro they said built into the dash!
“custom bong device built into the dash …"
yeah we GOTTA see this shit
yeah, i can think of a few rigs that are pretty easy to slap together but like, i’m stealing your rims if you want me to do that. and your distributor. fuck driving inebriated, i’ll build you a hotbox but not a rolling one.
This is the post where I quit thinking you were cool. Now if you’ll excuse me it’s my rip, can’t smoke drive and text. Not enough hands!
knees dude knees
