When i worked in CA we had a no pursuit policy for our motors. Too dangerous for the rider. He was calling for a unit, but imo not worth the risk. He did do a great job fun to watch.

Wow. Cool video. The motor officer slowed down and checked intersections for his safety. Bonus to him on acceleration of the motorcycle once he got going. He was really moving on a couple of straightaways. I got a little nervous for him on that downhill straightaway....he was moving fast...

By the way...really dangerous. The driver definitely had their attention at the end of the video. Glad to see lots of backup for the motor officer.

I do not think you could do that more professional and what great outcome.

Great video. Seriously, no hitting or abuse or anything. I was on the edge of my seat with how fast they were going. I know cops are not fond of the video cameras sometimes but in this case it shows just how great a job they are doing.

Great job.

Says, "Florence", but which state, I wonder. Could be Florence in KY, SC, AL, AZ . . . Scenery looks like KY to me.

The notes on You Tube say Florence, Alabama.

I was wondering that too - thought it might be Florence, Tx ... just up the road from me, and site of the awesome DPS training facility with driving track, shooting ranges, etc where CHL Instructor trainees do their live fire qualification.

Great job by all involved. I was waiting for someone to back out of a driveway in front of him.

I had the pleasure to go to the police MC rodeo in Grand Prairie. Now those guys can ride.

Wow. Didn't hit one single cone. I probably would have taken out the first set. Tight turns on that motor.....excellent job by the officer.

Wow, I was worn out after watching the entire video.

I wonder what model and brand of motor cycle he was driving as it seemed very quiet?

I know not all drive Harleys...
