If you were in Canton yesterday around 4:30 p.m., you might have witnessed a police chase. Officers pursued a stolen vehicle for half an hour mostly through the streets of Canton, with assistance from a helicopter. And thatโ€™s really where they get you, and why eluding police in a car usually only if youโ€™re driving the Batmobile โ€” the helicopter. Once the helicopter is out, itโ€™s over โ€” it becomes an inevitable, slow-speed chase.

Your best bet (in my humble opinion) is to park it in a crowded area, don a disguise, exit through a secret hatch in the floor, and blend in with the crowd. Of course, if itโ€™s a stolen vehicle, youโ€™ve got to install the hatch on the fly, before you drive it off. Itโ€™s complicated โ€” email me for further details.

In this case, the driver โ€œran into an alley and into a backyardโ€ where he was nabbed.
