Do you want Robots doing our jobs?? ZERO discretion??
Careful what you Wish for!!
Have you ever been given a "Warning" instead of a citation?
Officer Discretion is part of the job with exception to stuff like Forceable Felonies and Domestic Violence.
Trust me. You do NOT want all "Yes Men" working in the world I do..
It's never ALL Black or ALL White out here.... You would NOT want to live in that world..

I realize this is just an internet forum and the banter may not reflect what we would actually do in practice.

Hence why I said, "Hard to answer that" when asked.
I've witness some "racing" before but nothing at speeds anyway near 150... Have I made arrest before..yes...Have I given warnings and sent them on there way..yes.
But like said, without discretion at times, life would really really suck for a LOT of people... Oh, and you have NOBODY wanting to ever do this job anymore. Already getting absolutely horrible at filling spots these days anyway from all the media lies and Sheep that believe them...

I understand completely... I guess my relationship here with all of you is like a "friendship" so my response was that of benevolence towards him vs. how I might respond to someone doing that through my city streets.
Anyway... Thanks for understanding and trying not to judge me to harshly.
I am just a more lenient cop than most by nature...

My wife would have chopped my nuts off if I dragged someone with her in the car ......I don't bother with guys wanting to race anymore I am past that age where I get the urge and just go for it ....... Besides I get a lot of restraint practice from all the hot shots pulling up to me with lowered Honda's and loud exhausts that always want to go ... Give me a break already

The 9.9 second published 1/4 mile times for the cbr1000rr are with pro drivers with rare skills, whereas the GT2 RS 10.6 times are just a point and shoot affair. I would expect nearly every street race against an amateur scooter rider to turn out the same. As to roll racing...the GT2 is a 211 mph vehicle whereas the superbike scooters are good to about 186...the physics give a huge advantage to the 700BHP vehicle the faster you are going,..I heard him down shift and rev his scooter so he was ready for the roll race...and the GT2 left him for dead.

Hard to answer. First off, our "chase policy" is very strict and if either chose not to stop, we couldn't chase anyway.
Secondly, I'm a bit different of an officer compared to most / others. I've ridden fast motorcycles / cars all my life. So odds are (unless they were totally disrespectful to me), I'd give them a good "talking to" and cut them loose.
I've had my share of speeding tickets back in the day. Even got arrested once for riding a wheelie. lol. But, I look at things in the big picture. It's all the other crap I see most normal drivers do that's FAR MORE dangerous, than the folks on an open deserted road going for a quick "roll race".
But for the record, Racing isn't just a "write them up" thing. It's a, "Do not pass GO and head straight to jail" thing, most times. So be careful!! Not all officers see / do things the way I do.

Any stock liter bike driven at its full potential would absolutely destroy any car (with the exception of a highly modified Koenigsegg) until the bike "runs out of sprocket."
Couple videos of a very skilled rider on a stock BMW S1000RR making a Bugatti look like a VW Beetle. Can't even see the the bike up until the bike runs out of gear at 190mph.
I have an Aprilia RSV4 RF and it amazes me that they sell these things to the public. Unless your modified 997 Turbo has over 1,700hp you would have no chance against a liter bike ridden at full potential.
Really tough to compete with a 400pd vehicle that has over 200hp. Just simple physics.
The only "pull" that is remotely close is when the Bug gets a huge jump on the bike.

Growing up on Suzuki GS1100E, GS1150E, GS1150ESE, Honda Hurricane 1000, and a Yamaha V-Max, I embarrassed a lot of hot shot Pcar wannabe drag racers. In fact, I never, ever lost a drag race against any car. This motorcycle driver was an inexperienced drag racer or he would have sucked your doors off.

That race against the Bugatti was from a slow roll, where the launch from dead the bike has a huge disadvantage (unless the rider is an uber-experienced motorcycle drag racer), and racing from higher speed the car would have had a slightly more advantage. It was set up to make the bike look more dominant. Would like to see the roll starting from around 60-80 mph and go, the bike would have got a jump and the car would reel it in I bet.

Maybe, but I think you may want to hop on a "current" liter bike. They are all as bat-sh*t crazy as the BMW S1000RR. The new Yamaha R1-M is another step-up from the Bimmer yet.
Comparing the performance of today's liter bikes to those of the early 2000's is like comparing a 996 to a 992 P Car. A LOT HAS CHANGED!
Almost all liter bikes are OVER 200hp now, they have downloadable software (from an app on your cell phone) for mapping (traction control, wheelie control, launch control, side slip calibration...etc). These bikes are like little spaceships.
My liter bike actually fights for traction all the way up to 150mph.
