I watch a lot of YouTube Videos on people running from the cops in the USA and it seems that it is a bit of a wast of time as they always seem to get them in the end. The one thing that I really don't understand is the way the cops in the US do it.
When you watch these videos you will have one vehicle running and at times not that fast and behind them you will have about a thousand police cars chasing them, why so many police cars needed?
Then even if they going slow it will be a slow possession with the thousand cars following them.
When they finally do stop the guy there seems to be no cop in charge as they all jump out guns in hand screaming at the driver and all seem petrified to approach the vehicle in question.
Maybe I am just used to it being like this and this is why we don't run

You're watching the wrong vdeos. Check out some Gixxer and S1000RR dashes. The fastest things cops have on the roads are still absolutely no match. I havent top-ended mine yet, nor will I probably ever, but given the right conditions there is simply no way any cop Charger can do anything but eat dust. I can go from 80mph, the low-end speed you're at risk of being stopped, to 160 in about 3 seconds(I've never actually timed it) and I still have 30-40mph left in me(160 under controlled circumstances is about as high as I've ever put it). Again, I've never done this but there are quite a few YouTubers who do.
From what it looks like the serious riders have the local freeways, roads, and streets cased out exceptionally well and once they put a mile or so between them they rapidly weave through a series of lesser roadways and end up on an altogether different freeway going in a completely different direction. They often kick things off with a State Trooper/Highway Patrol but then bust through one or two other jurisdictions. This congests mutiple commo nets and can significantly confuse the agencies involved. The motocross guys can cut across property lines and weave through industrial areas like it's nothing.
A lot of times the cop sees them on the "right bikes" and just pulls them over for "a safety check" which is total bullish-t. They just want to figure out a way to ticket them and 90% of the time they will, like "improper equipment" when their onboard camera isn't installed they way they want it. In traffic, the rider won't even be speeding and a cop will charge up and shadow him just because he's on a bike type that's suspect. Like I said, I've had it done to me and it pisses you off. Then they cry the blues that so many people have lost respect for them in the US. Maybe if they spent a little less time trying to criminalize everyone they see and more going after real criminals this wouldn't be such an issue.
US cops pursue pretty much a blanket policy of escalation, not deescalation. They intentionally seek to increase their chances to implement violence. Other countries' LE do not necessarily do that.
Bottom line the guys on the right bikes that are out there to blow away cops commonly have a plan and can disappear in about 15-20 seconds.
