Whenever I've seen videos of spike strips being used, they usually end in some sort of accident

To be fair, if the video didn't end in an accident, then you wouldn't be watching the video in the first place.

Why would you upload or watch a completely asinine uneventful video where nothing happens? Your not gonna find a video with millions of views where the spike strips stop the car in an orderly and controlled fashion, then the driver peacefully surrenders without a fight. Because it's loving boring.

Uh, the cars were "parked" because of the spike strip.

:rolleyes: Yes i know. That doesn't make the cars any less parked, it just makes it more reckless from the cops. why would you stop traffic right next to where you put your spike strip, it's just putting people in harm's way.

A police officer once told me that if you can get away when there's just one car on you, you have a pretty good chance. Once there's multiple police cars, you're probably done. Once they get the helicopter out, according to him, absolutely no one gets away.

Employers organizing a competition based around a job activity is something that happens. Although it's usually something like a travel company having a trivia contest about vacation destinations.

I did see a coal shoveling competition once and it was slightly impressive to watch. The same small town fair had chainsaw races with different classes all the way up to 150cc which were best described as loud.

Hand chopping and sawing timber is the best part of the Easter show in Sydney. You know a guy is serious business when he starts with close to a minute penalty for his handicap. Then the same bloke still wins clad in a singlet, cricket pants and a pair of Dunlop volleys.

I can agree the police perhaps didn't consider all the variables on deploying that spike strip.

This does not however under any circumstance to me, make the actual speeder themselves, the party with the least culpability in the spike strip situation.
