I was hap-hazardly browsing youtube and came across a police chase in Baltimore from last year.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the car is an RL!!
Never knew that RL drivers were so badass.
I'm guessing the car was stolen. Surprising, nonetheless, to see an RL involved in a police chase!

Good find!

The driver obviously wasn't aware of the RL's superior cornering ability or he would have been whipping around those side streets. Now that would have been interesting to see if the cops could have kept up with him.

The car probably was stolen, so nice to see that the owner's car wasn't damaged as happens so often in these chases.

 

Well, I guess even criminals have good taste?

I'd be pissed if I was the owner whose car was stolen.

Nice tint!

 

 

You need a supercharger and A-Spec suspension to give the police a proper car chase

 

he wasnt going fast enough if a trailblazer kept up lol

 

I have a feeling this RL was hijacked from a unsuspecting senior couple entering a Country Buffet.


Hilarious how the cop try to punch and elbow the driver side window!

 

Thats a hell of a window cause it didnt break...... but they were just cruising in the RL!

 

MMmmmm...Country Buffet.

 

Next time the crook scumbags will pick a car that does not weigh 4000lbs and with a 6 cyclinder.

 

lol.

lol.

The cops beat his ass

 

If you look closely, it appears to have an aftermarket performance exhaust. I doubt granny was modding here RL.

Now, should we wait for the owner to surface in this forum?

 

I thought it was halarious cop trying to break the window...even if he cracked it the tints would stop anything interesting.

Also, the camera politely zoomed out as the cops started beating the suspects, an unspoken agreement between the news media and the police force...

either way, those two did not seem like they really wanted to get away and they stopped for a stop light...come on!

Did I mention they had their doors unlocked?

lol once again at the cop trying to break the window and failing...that's when he would have gotten shot...

 

cops prob saying driver take the effn keys out the ignition
driver: but there are no keys
cops: oh you wanna be a smartass, take this beating!

 

I notice this too

and trying to break the window = Fail. maybe he watches cop shows a lot..lol

 

Damn, that car looks just like mine. Hope my previous owner treated mine better than this guy.

*carfax didn't say anything about car chase* Whew !

 

the front doors open out close to 90 degrees so the cop can pull the suspects' asses out of the car without any trouble

 

Hahaha!

 

Wow...I was just thinking about this the other day. Now here's a chase with an RL.

 

 

why was he driving so slow...lmfao

 

hahahahaha

 

LOL this has happened to me before when i got pulled over in Jersey. Cop asked me to take the key out of the ignition and i said i dont have a key. He said "What?? Excuse me. I DONT HAVE TIME FOR GAMES TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION!!" I then politely said officer i'm reaching for my keys in my pocket dont shoot me and took the key out of my pocket and said look this is my key then i unattached the knob thing and gave it to him like here and he stepped back in amazement. Yeah that was an awful night.

 

 

OK Bob, what's that new Avatar? Have you lost your "brain"?

I suppose the police will rue the day when they have to chase a CTS-V instead of an RL.

 

I think what they will do in that case is called a "radio" and "spike strips", even though, I think if they drop sand that should be enough to stop him.

SH-AWD FTW!

 

cool avatar, i'd say!

<<<< meet my Mazda3...(let the burns commence....)

 

and they tell me my car has a big smile...

 

 

yea some sort of trick question! TAKE YOUR KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION

 

Why not just turn the car off?? If they see you clearly going through the motions, and hear the engine stop you can then explain (if it gets to that).

More and more cars have pushbutton ignitions these days, so the long arm of the law had better adjust their ways to keep up.

Thinking about the elbow-banger in the video, the RL does have pretty thick side glass, doesn't it?

The RL really is ULEV -- Ultra Law-Enforcement-resistant Vehicle.

 

Just trust me, Just a reminder of what Acura is up against as they are creating the exterior design on the next RL. The chief designer had better get it right this time.



Leo is right, they'd have to get out the puncture strips FOR SURE.

 

I figure the front bumper falling off the GM product would work better than spike strips. LOL.

 

Glad they didn't wreck it. Owner probably left the key fob in it.

 

at the "beating"

 

why do the cops always have to punch the suspect in the face all the time did not look like they where resisting arrest. For the RL yes they did not know how to drive it when I am on a wet street I am always going sideways and full throttle and control l love the power of the Acura RL.
