Illinois Cops Use Facebook to Post Videos of Red Light Violators


Police cameras keeping an eye on motorists is nothing new these days, but posting these videos of offenders on Facebook is something different altogether. Welcome to the world of Granite City in Illinois.

In an effort to inform the public and reduce violations, the local police department has being uploading videos of red light runners at the intersection of 27th and Madison street on its Facebook page on an almost weekly basis for the past few months.

DUI Suspect Full of Swag Asks "What is Drugs" After Crashing Into Three Cars…


Here's a new meme in the making. Last Friday, 29-year old Vardan Aslanyan took police on an hour-long chase reaching speeds in excess of 100mph (+160km/h) through several freeways in the San Fernando Valley.

While being pursued by cops, Aslanyan collided with three vehicles, including a Mercedes-Benz SUV that was knocked over injuring a mother and her 3-year-old toddler, fortunately, not seriously, according to NBC LA.

Bikers Troll Texas Police Car, Cop Arrests Another Motorcyclist to Seize His Camera for Evidence


A group of bikers and several police cars in Dallas, Texas, were involved in a bizarre incident that was captured on film during Memorial Day weekend on May 27.

It all started when a squad car was taunted and harassed by a couple of motorcyclists that appear to belong to the same group traveling on Stemmons Freeway.

The Dallas Sheriff's Office released footage from a dash cam video that shows the reckless bikers slamming on their brakes and blocking the police car’s path on the highway.

Shortly after, the cop pulls over a pickup truck with people sitting on the open bed and which was traveling alongside the bikers.

Before the police officer comes out, a female passenger hands over something to one rider and moments after she hops onto another bike and leaves the scene. At the same time, we see other motorcyclists, evidently from the same group, driving on the wrong way of Stemmons Freeway.

Chrome Gold-Wrapped Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Nabbed by the Cops


We can't say with certainty that this is the first ever Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 to be dressed from top to bottom in a chrome-gold foil wrap, but we can say that it's likely the first of its kind we've seen being pulled over by the cops.

Lamborghini Miami CEO Brett David reportedly unveiled the overly flashy Aventador at a special event in Miami, Florida, over the weekend.

Man Impersonates Federal Agent in Road Rage, Handcuffs Teen and Takes him to his House…


We all know that road rage can escalate to the point of serious physical violence (remember this Brazilian lady or these two men?), but an incident in Port Jefferson, New York, took an unexpected twist when a man posing as a federal agent allegedly arrested the other driver.

The key word here is posing as 39-year-old David Bradley is actually an insurance agent in real life and not an officer of the law.

Russian Driver Scolds Cops for Not Wearing Seat Belts and Talking on the Phone


In what might one of the funniest encounters between a civilian driver and Russian police officers we've seen to date, a man captures two cops in a car completely off guard when he opens the window of his BMW (perhaps that may have something to do with it…) and tells them off for not wearing their seat belts and talking on the phone.

If you have 30 seconds to spare, hop over the break to watch the clip.

Motorcyclist on a Suzuki Hayabusa Turbo Tries to Outwit Cops


Before we give you as short description of what's going on here, let us note that like the video poster points out, we do not promote this kind behavior because aside from the obvious (um, that would be breaking the law...), you could end up hurting yourself and/or another person on the road.

The motorcyclist appearing in this video shot from inside a car on the highway, is said to be riding a very powerful and evidently, extremely fast, Suzuki Hayabusa Turbo.

Russian Duma Speaker's Motorcade Accused for Blocking Ambulance with Dying Patient


Local and government officials abusing their power to block roads is nothing new in Russia, but the exposure of one incident that involved a dying patient in an ambulance has caused uproar in the country.

News agencies in Russia reported that a convoy of the current speaker of the Russian State Duma, Sergei Naryshkin, had police block the way of an ambulance carrying a patient in serious condition, who died before he made it to the hospital, in the town of Vsevolozhsk on Monday.

Mother Straps Fuel Tank on Safety Seat, Leaves Toddler Unbuckled…


And the award for the most reckless mother of the year goes to…a Colorado woman who had her two children, a 14 year old and a toddler, sitting in the car without seatbelts but had a small gas tank strapped on the child's safety seat.

It sounds like a joke but there's photo proof as the police officer who pulled over Sandra Ramirez during a routine stop in Aurora, Colorado, on May 30, snapped a shot of what he encountered in the car for the "Click It or Ticket" campaign.

The Force is Strong with this One: Darth Vader Successfully Appeals Parking Ticket


In a not so far, far away land called New York City, a man impersonating Darth Vader with a heavy-breathing Brooklyn accent was captured on film last month quibbling with a traffic cop over a parking ticket that he had received while promoting interest in Star Wars during a 5th Avenue Street fair in Brooklyn.

However, the traffic trooper completely snubbed Darth Vader...

A Northumberland village man named Christopher Hodgkinson has set up a creepy looking scarecrow of sorts dressed as a police officer with a printed version of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson as his face and a…hairdryer as a speed gun, right in front of his house to deter drivers from speeding!

Ford Taurus and Dodge Charger Cop Cars Chase Down a 2013 Ford Shelby GT500


With 662 SAE-certified ponies kicking under its hood, the revamped 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 promises to be the meanest pony car on the road offering Ferrari (straight-line) performance for Ford prices (the coupe starts at US$54,200).

When the crew over at Motor Trend magazine got their hands on the new Shelby GT500 in, they wanted to do something out of the ordinary so they assembled the new 2013 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor and 2012 Dodge Charger Police Pursuit, to create a short film of sorts.

Oh Russia, Cops in Pursuit of Lime Green Nissan GT-R…


With all the odd and crazy things we have seen taking place on Russian roads thanks to the widespread use of dashboard mounted cameras over the past years, one could say that nothing surprises us anymore.

All the same, we cannot say that we remember seeing a police officer filming a pursuit on a hand held camera (or cell phone), but we guess there is a first for everything in Russia these days… Perhaps the explanation is that the cop was an avid fan of the Nissan GT-R, who knows.

Anyway, the two Moscow cops in the Ford Focus managed to catch up to the lime-green Nissan GT-R R35, but only because the latter gave up. One of the police officers approaches the car, politely tips his hat and asks for the driver's license and registration. The driver then exits the GT-R and gets into the cop's car, at which point the video ends.

Chinese Motorcyclist Attacks Cop with a Knife for Pulling Him Over!


No one likes being stopped on the road by a police officer for a traffic violation and while complaining or simply trying to justify your actions to avoid a ticket is part of the game, there is really no point in taking to the next level.

Try telling that to this motorcyclist, though. After a cop on foot pulled him over, the man on scooter blew a gasket and grabbed a large knife stacked in his bike and started chasing the officer! And all this on a busy street in broad daylight!

Do You English Speak? Russian Driver Tries to Fool Ukrainian Cops


There is no denying that searching for a way to avoid a speeding or a parking ticket is a universal behavior that transcends both society and race.

A pair of Russians who were driving their car through the Ukraine was caught speeding by the local cops. As you would imagine, the two men wanted to dismiss the ticket so they came up with the bright of idea of speaking in English, convinced that the Ukrainian police officers would not understand a word they said.

And indeed, the first cop who approached their car did not speak English, which of course, made the two men happy. However, the euphoria did not last long as there was a second officer on hand who happened to know English…

Head past the jump to watch the video.

Polar Bear Driving a Mercedes-Benz Pulled Over and Arrested – No Really


Plucked from the weird depths of YouTube is this dashboard-camera footage that begins with a Mercedes-Benz A-Class being pulled over by someone that appears to be an undercover cop – how else would you explain the blue jeans and leather jacket?

The cop comes out of his car and approaches the Mercedes sub-compact model. He then takes the driver's license and returns to his vehicle, at which point this incident gets really creepy...
