Sometimes the best way to run from the cops is to not run at all.

If the police are coming after your vehicle, they’re going to get you one way or another. Even if you manage to drive away at that moment, they’ve likely already got the make, model and license plate of your car — effectively rendering it useless in any further criminal or escape-related endeavors.

That’s why it’s smart for those committing a crime to ditch their car as fast as possible. In this case, this criminal got rid of their car mid-chase — and casually stood by and watched as the police continued to follow it.
