Evatt man's wild ride

Hmm fair call. It seems they do. Although mostly just to seek assistance in tracking them down, it seems.

Well, obviously, why else would they? To say “The suspect driver’s skills were so mad we isn’t gonna get them after all”

They wouldn’t make a press release saying criminals are getting away, would they?

You sure?

You don’t read too many of these press releases where the villan gets away. So why do they continually run?

I guess though that these blokes aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.

Maybe the driver was in posession of some illicit substances or other illegal item, and by fleeing the scene they got away, were able to dispose of the contraband, then hand yourself in to be charged with traffic offences only. In a situation like that, they might not be the sharpest tools in the shed to onlookers, but they save their own bacon.

Haha yeah, so I guess they do hear stories of people getting away and so they tried and were successful, but knew they couldn’t stay on the run forever, so they minimised the number of things they were charged for haha. Not that dumb really.

This sped past my house on Baddeley in Spence, and i’ve seen that car around my neighbourhood ( not sure if they are the people who live down the street, or if they are just friends/customers of the people down the road) the car and the police were smashing it top speed down my street, hope they caught some of them and cracked them where it hurts while no one was looking.

We need a Canberra version of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od4cFtt7xBw

Give the Greens there way however and this blunt tool would have been able to terrorise the territory with impunity.

“The driver tried to escape police by mounting the curb and attempting to drive across the Melba ovals where the car collided with a drain, causing extensive damage to the vehicle.”

The dryness and matter of fact nature required for press releases often amuses me, this is a great example.
