Real life Fast and Furious-style gatherings and street races are nothing new and in fact, it’s probably wrong to use that term as they precede the fictitious movie franchise by several decades.
Cops making their appearance to disband these gatherings and even arrest hoons when they break the law, is just part of the cat and mouse game that goes on between officers and racers. The video that follows comes from one such meeting and it bears the title “Honda Civic Race Chase By Police Helicopter”.
We can see the spotlight and hear the chopper following the cars from above, but we’re not entirely convinced that it is indeed a police helicopter.
Some commentators on YouTube like ‘Tha7Dude’ are of the same opinion: “I saw at least a dozen violations. The chopper was most likely already coordinating cruisers on the ground. No way they’re gonna chase that hard and not call in ground personnel.” You have to admit, he does make a valid point…
However, others disagree, including YouTube commentator Envyhvy, who wrote: “Cruisers were called i was there personally they just went after the other cars and the heli stood on them to see if they made any driving violations. they did the right thing.”
Head past the break to watch the video and tell us what you think.
