Law and Order

There’s finally a news release about the high-speed chase from my drive back from the train station.

The guy was peeing on the street, and when a cop asked him to quit it and/or made a move to arrest him for street-peeing, he leapt into his car and sped off, hit another car and spun out (and nearly hit us), and got shot at a few times before the nine police cars were able to catch him. Unsurprisingly, they discovered said dude was wasted.

Clearly there’s more here than just being drunk (my vote is smuggling, Mom’s vote is Mafia), but it’s always a shame when people get so drunk that they forget every episode of Law and Order they’ve ever seen. Everyone knows that if you’re ahead of the forty-minute mark, you can sometimes bullshit your way out of charges, but anyone who runs is automatically guilty.

While trying to escape (from the crash we were almsot in), the dude tried to run over a cop, so now he’s going down for some serious jail time. How wasted are you when you try to run over a cop?
