I saw this on TV today, very impressed he got up that quickly.

Grrr absolute scum, what a hero for chasing him down afterwards though!

SS-89 · 2 Aug 2011 at 13:28

Only got 23 months

He must have felt it the next day though!

He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, driving while disqualified, driving without insurance and resisting arrest.

And not stealing a car?

Is the picture of the pc or the thief?

Wow that guys invincible! although it did state he collapsed after the arrest. Its amazing what adrenaline can do!

The way he got up and chased that scum looks like it could have been taken from an action movie.

23 months is embarrassing, could've easily killed him :mad:

Shame he didn't do it in America, would've been done for assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder if he wasn't shot and killed*

* I base this solely on what Sheriff John Bunnell has told me.

It's an E39 Sport, I thought they were too old to appeal to proper thieves but too hard to nick for idiots :eek:

Of which 1 month was for the collision with the police vehicle.

The model had not gone unnoticed, many of the 'idiots' will be opportunists, lets hope that was the case here.

That’s quite a knock and he’s almost horizontal after the impact:

I think we need a referendum on the death penalty.
Then our Courts can become credible with the introduction of electric chairs for the accused so that, if necessary, justice can be dispensed as soon as a Guilty verdict is returned.
This would also help the current situation of not enough people applying to be judges.

Man what a hero, can't belive he got up and just chased him like that!

Sin_Chase · 2 Aug 2011 at 14:23

Machine! Awesome stuff

Avathar77 · 2 Aug 2011 at 18:36

I am sure he got told off by his bosses quoting some heath and safety notes!

Poor E39

Good on the copper
