I'm sure if they had called ahead they could have easily cut him off
it could go either way , imagine if the police backed off and let him carry on speeding and hed crashed and killed someone. the police would be hammered for letting him carry on. dammed if they do dammed if they don't if something goes wrong.
I got stopped once in my cosworth powered celica purely because the traffic policeman had owned one of those old celicas and knew they weren't turbo charged but had heard my dump valve. if he hadn't had been with a younger officer that was giving me the daggers id have convinced him to race his police T5 against me in the local industrial estate
you tend to find the traffic officers are also petrol heads.
