They don't talk about the ones they lose. The way to run from the cops i have known to work is a) jam into a neighborhood. Park the car kill the lights and hope the cop passes you by and hide till you can sneak away. B) pull a crazy stunt and hop you make it and the cop doesn't. C) used to be you could run by the airport and that woudl mess up the police chopper flight. And give you time to escape the cars.

Those all mostly rely on luck. Bonus having a super fast motorcycle tends to work but will also likely kill you. I saw one where a guy had a super bright flashlight and blinded the cop. Really unless you are very lucky and fast you aren't gonna do it. Realistically you only have a few minutes till they get a helicopter on you then you are fucked. If it is in your car you are fucked cause you can't be faster than a radio and you would basically have to be an outlaw from that point.

I escaped the cops once after some bullshit vandalism. They were in a car, we saw them coming, we ran down an alley that was not passable by car, we got to the next street over, I flipped my jacket inside out and we split up and walked away. Nobody was caught. A lot lower stakes than this though.

Good points. It seems that we need to start cataloguing these, for academic research purposes.
