He obviously had good tires on the thing too, it seems 9/10 times that the police chases that end violently do so when the shred their bald tires or loose control because they skid. Not only did the car hold together so did those poor wheels/tires =)

Had to be less than 3 months because the video was taken in January. Anyways, I'm much more handsome than that guy, so it couldn't possibly have been me!
And if we wanna be serious for a second, I've blacked out my amber reflectors and I haven't de-badged my "C300" lol

OK you got me, it was me. I'd put on quite a bit of weight back then, my olive skin turned white and I was living in southern California. But the real question is, did I make my fellow w204 owners proud? I sure showed those police officers the true power of my mighty w204!

Hahaha well put Rodpwnz, and you're looking at MINIMUM one felony violation which is felony eluding as he was definitely acting in such a way that could harm others while fleeing from the police. They could really cite him for each violation on the road, but in addition he would have probably been arraigned for reckless driving, reckless endangerment, etc. So he would definitely be doing some time in jail if not prison depending on his criminal record...
Also, if any police were injured on the job most common law areas including California there are things called Fireman's Rules where the police can't sue the driver for any injury or risk incurred to them as it is part of their job, but Cali also has California Civil Code Section 1714.9, in which, I believe, he can also be held accountable under tort law, carrying stiff monetary fines.

Exactly, as long as you can establish the authenticity of the tape and enter it into evidence, then it's an easy conviction. Especially on a bench trial which I figure he'd end up getting for this type of case, what judge in their right mind would dismiss this - his only option would be a plea bargain if the DA's office is willing to compromise.
