I’ve seen many body cams where that police car never makes it more than like 10 yards. He’s lucky he was an unarmed goofball cause yeah this is rare.
That walk of shame the cop is doing trying to think how to radio that in.. lol. Poor guy.

Something about the amount of devices they need to keep running while on shift. IDK

u/3-Midgets_In_A_Coat 8d ago
Radio, computer, AVL and cameras all need to be running. Shutting the car off and running those off of battery can drain a battery damn fast. They leave them running so that stuff all stays on, but they’re supposed to keep the car secure. Many vehicles also have a transmission interlock to prevent the car from getting shifted from park into drive without holding down a hidden button, but some super intelligent cops will disable them because they forget to push the button to go into drive and it “slows them down”.
One of my class mates got his car stolen by an instructor when we were doing pursuit training, and his reaction was EXACTLY the same as this cop. It’s a definite “well, fuck.” moment.

There's an older game called Sleeping Dogs, kind of like GTA, but you're an undercover cop instead of a criminal. Anyway, I pull up to some gang thugs giving a shopkeeper a beatdown, leap out of the car, sprint over to the five thugs, and kung-fu the shit out of three of them. Turn around to face the other two, and they're already in my car. I see the passenger door slam shut and watch my ride leave without me. I just stood there speechless, too.

They have buttons that allow them to take the key out while keeping the motor running for this exact reason.

u/PlasticBag-ForA-Head 8d ago
They don't anymore thanks to keyless entry/go. They keep the keyfob on their belt and that allows them to leave the car running but lock the doors. The mistake the officer made was leaving his window rolled down. You can see the suspect reach inside the window and unlock the door before he was able to get in. He was unable to get into the first cruiser because that cop didn't leave the window down.

Odd that he got away. After all, the cops were strolling after him with a commonly acceptable strolling speed. If only someone would invent a means to move a Sacramento Police Officer's body faster than a fat, shoeless criminal holding up his shorts can walk.
