Most Friday and Saturday evenings you can watch this play out in real time, from the other perspective, on Live PD. Unless the person being pursued has done something real serious, they call off chases pretty routinely. They're not going to put a lot of lives at stake because a license plate lamp was out or someone rolled through a stop sign. The beginning of the video was very tame which makes me wonder why the LEO lit them up in the first place.

To me it was entertaining to watch but it seemed highly unlikely that a car drives around with cameras mounted front and back to record a chase seen. IF law enforcement had a real chase on their hands you wouldn't want to have cameras hanging all over your car to show what you do for fun. In remote locations many are friends with the local cop and play games like that or maybe he had a friend with an old cop car purchased from an auction and said lets make a u tube vid so we can get paid when lots of people watch our videos. ;) Maybe its just my experience with driving fast cars or living in the big city like Los Angeles that NO ONE drives like that trying to evade, or the cop whos car doesnt exceed 60- 70 mph :-[ There was no sense of urgency on any ones part but that could be how they do it out in the sticks. We have a few law enforcement guys maybe they could add their views on things.

That's what happens when the Department decides to save on gas money and buys the cop package with the smallest engine.
A city near me had a 6 cylinder in the car they assigned to a 4 block long set of stores. They called it their Mall Car and once everyone found out what it was they all ran away from it.
