Of Course This Australian Driver Filmed His Own Police Chase


There’s knowing and exercising your rights, and then there’s being an idiot. Guess which one this guy will identify as, after leading police on a merry chase and recording it on his phone.

It all started, reportedly, when the man refused a breathalyser test and instead decided to take off with his mate in the passenger seat.

The whole time, the two men are having a laugh as the driver records the experience on his phone.

That led police on a merry chase at what looks like speeds of 80km/h, until the man was eventually cut off in the middle of an intersection.

It all came to an end, though, when police smashed open his window to the driver’s cries of “I don’t consent!”. Oh dear. [Jalopnik]
