Brave Police Officer Throws Spike Strips During Chase Just in Time!

(VIDEO) – A police chase ended in a brutal crash when an officer hurled a spike strip at a car as it sped by at an estimated 50 MPH through a residential neighborhood. Part of the chase was captured on video. According to KATU News, the chase began around 1:20 AM when police officers witnessed the car driven by 35-year-old Richard Millican blow through a stop sign at a high rate of speed. Officers pursued Millican until one brave policeman hurled a spike strip “like a bowling ball” at the speeding suspect’s car as it flew by. Raw video (seen above) captured at the scene shows just how close the car was to the officer when it hit the spikes. After the spikes blew his tires, Millican lost control of the car, jumped a curb and collided into a parked van. Witnesses at the scene said that had the van not been there, Millican would have crashed into an occupied house. Police said that Millican was taken to the hospital and that a search of his car uncovered methamphetamine. His condition remains unknown. Millican was cited for attempt to elude in a vehicle, driving while suspended, reckless driving, criminal mischief and distribution and possession of methamphetamine, according to KATU News.

Duffel Bag Bandits Hit Phone Store Twice, Caught On Tape NR12543pv

Duffel Bag Bandits Hit Phone Store Twice, Caught On Tape NR12543pv

Los Angeles: Detectives have dubbed two men wearing masks and dark clothing the Duffel Bag Bandits after they hit the same Sprint Nextel Store in Panorama City two times since November 21, 2012, getting away with nearly $52000 worth of iPhones and tablets. “It’s clear this is an inside job,” said Lt. Paul Vernon, commanding officer of the Mission Detective Division. “The burglar wearing the khaki mask has the alarm code and the keys to the safe.” The duo hit first on November 21, breaking through the roof and shimming down a rope. This is the burglary depicted in the released video. Store management was able to account for the only two keys to the safe where high-end phones and tablets are stored. “We suspect that someone with prior access to the keys copied them in anticipation of committing this crime,” Lt. Vernon explained. “The suspects were familiar with the security systems too, which is also why they kept their faces covered.” Detectives believe it was the same burglars who struck the store a second time, early this morning, November 26, 2012. The burglars followed the same MO, breaking through the roof and filling a duffel bag with phones. However, this time, a security guard confronted the pair as they made their getaway. The two suspects escaped but they left behind the duffel bag full of phones and tablets. In the November 21st burglary, the burglars made off with 59 iPhones and 14 tablets. “This was a well-planned operation with inside information,” Lt. Vernon …

Fake Voluntary DUI Checkpoint with Breathalyzer as the Final Question

I encountered one of these Voluntary DUI Survey Checkpoints and was amazed. A group of young kids directed me off the road @ 3am and was asking me to take a survey which required me to blow in a breathalyzer! WTF It appeared to be a DUI Checkpoint but it had the words VOLUNTARY on the sign and there were cop cars around!?!?
