Wonder how the ride is at those speeds. I know that stretch of road. It,s around Picacho Peak, between Phoenix and Tucson.

There's a graphic at the end that says it was done "south of the border." I had naturally assumed California, but maybe not. The cop car was white with a blue stripe. CHP? Locals Or Mexican? Graphics start about 3:00.

And there are interior shots that show the ride.

That's an Az Department of Public Safety AKA Highway Patrol car.

Guess "south of the border" meant south of Utah?

Perhaps. However, I'm sure some folks wished we were a lot further to the South than we are.

Remember the guy, back in the heady heyday of VHS, who made and sold a tape of him doing 180 in his sports car? He was arrested, uber arrested.

Was on I-8 between Yuma and Gila Bend. Only reason they could "only" go 225 was because of sub-standard CA-formulation gasoline. AZ DPS caught him going only 80...so warning.

If I had that car I wouldn't hesitate to drive it like that, with or without a license. Put me behind a wheel and I drive as fast as I can wherever I feel like. Speed limits are meaningless to me. There is good reason that I don't have a license anymore.

Same thing happens on U Tube these days. Cops watch the video and thank the person for distributing their own evidence as they make the arrest.
