Running from the Cops If you've ever seen a movie with a high speed chase, or footrace against the cops, where the person outsmarts the police and gets away; then you've most likely imagined yourself in the same action filled position. Then you sadly realize that this isn't real life, and if you were really being chased, you would most likely end up being caught. In most cases, this is the truth, but if you know a few crucial steps to outrunning the law, prior to the chase, than your chances of escaping will increase greatly. The first Idea you need to know is to avoid being seen; if the cops can't see or find you, then they wont be able to chase you. When you're in a car, and you notice a cop pull out suddenly behind you, turn off your lights and head down the nearest side street. The idea is to lose the cop before he has a chance at catching you. If the cop is tailing you with its lights and sirens blaring, than you've already missed the chance to escape, and you should pull over. You need to catch the cop in his hiding spot, or notice him flip a sudden U-turn, that's the moment where you will have the chance to slip around a corner, and out of sight. If you're on foot, then it's a whole different story. If you're causing trouble in the hood, than you can expect the cops at any moment because one of the housewives favorite hobbies is to call the cops. Make sure your five senses are in tune, especially your sight and hearing. If the cops are coming, they will try to be as unnoticeable as possible, often slowly driving by without lights and almost noiseless. You need to hear the sound of the car before it is even in sight. I got to the point where I could here a car coming from about a mile away, well before the headlights were in sight. If you're wearing a bright white T-shirt, with your new white tennis shoes, than you shouldn't be doing anything where you might want to hide from the cops, stay home if you don't plan on wearing dark clothes. I often wore camouflage, and it always paid off. You should also know the area that you are in.
