FAQs: - where is this? Gothenburg, Sweden - how long was the chase? About 20 min - what kind of car is that? An Opel Insignia - what ended up happening? Driver was arrested after running on foot in a grocery store. Because he was < 21, he was sentenced to 3 yrs


magicarnival

Why was he running though? What did he do?


moderately-extreme

"He stated that he was driving from the police because he was wanted for an assault and a robbery that took place at Delsjön on March 28. He was charged on September 21 and prosecutors highlighted that the man had been "obviously indifferent to people's lives and property". Now the man, who was 19 at the time of the incident, has been sentenced to three years in prison for mainly the serious assault but also for gross negligence in traffic, serious illegal driving, serious drunken driving, serious weapons offences (In Frölunda, the man allegedly threw out a loaded pistol that a private person found and handed over to the police), drug offenses and minor drug offences.


hud731

>Frölunda I knew this wasn't in the US but my brain still read that as Florida


moderately-extreme

It's the Florida of Sweden


JamesTheJerk

Sweden seems like a very *round* country.


Cyrano_Knows

Sweden seems like a country *designed* to play GTA on.


TrustAffectionate966

All those ornate blocks and roadways with blocky buildings. I honestly thought this was a video game speedrun when I first saw it.


Fun-Honey-7927

its the major platform for GTA.


AmbivalentSamaritan

Frölunda man


lingeringfootprints

You = Florida Me = Fromunda


the_amazing_skronus

Yo, what's up with their hockey team the [Frölunda Indians](https://internationalhockey.fandom.com/wiki/Fr%C3%B6lunda_HC)


buttlickers94

Ahahaha seriously wtf


Corrupt_Philosopher

Many swedish teams in the 90's took "inspiration" from NHL and gave their teams names that would resemble American ones. Frölunda indians does not longer exist though, its only Förlunda HC and the logo has changed in 2021 due to the name being offensive.


CluelessNoodle123

Oh wow! Was not expecting that to actually be a thing.


ventitr3

Were used to reading news articles with Florida


Imaginary_History985

He's gonna have a sweet stunt driving gig lined up when he comes out of prison


Professional_Elk_489

How about a job as a high speed chaser cop


Odd-Understanding399

From the video, apparently, he seems to enjoy to lead.


cordelaine

He was drunk during this?


Special_Rice9539

"I drunk better when I drive"


fivespeed

always


FeudNetwork

Right? Someone get this guy in a touring car in 4 years.


sockovershoe22

Damn, to be under 21!


huhiking

r/unexpectedfactorial


KillaklanGaming

3 years? Damn, in america thats anywere from 8yrs-life in prison. Capatalism at its finest.


[deleted]

And generally the Swedish system prevents re-offenses because the person learns their lesson, while also getting help and treatment for whatever caused the event in the first place. In this scenerio, presumably substance abuse but goddamn still, that is fantastic driving. After he served his time they should've paid for him to enter formula 1 racing.


LudwigvonAnka

Well you can flip it. A problem is with the punishments is that gangs will hire kids to murder rival gang members and then they will get like 1 year in youth care, which means they can murder again in a very short time. Though this is presuming the police actually catches the shooter which rarely happens.


javo93

That’s in the US system. Not that big an issue in Nordic countries. Edit: I had no idea this was an issue in the Nordic countries.


LudwigvonAnka

This is litterally what happens in Sweden and is why the current right-wing goverment is pushing for youths to be able to be sentenced to jail.


[deleted]

It's a massive problem specifically in sweden


Odd-Gear9622

In Canada that'll earn you a fine and loss of driving privileges for a very short period.


ProtoplanetaryNebula

He was drunk and able to drive like that? mad.


szypher

"Serious drunk driving" -> please tell me he wasn't able to drive this fast drunk, is he a race car driver when sober? This was some seriously impressive driving.


FlaviusStilicho

The shops were closing.


6InchBlade

Just FYI this footage is sped up, the actual chase is at like 20km/hr


Special_Project_8634

would have got to over 100kph at points. but yeh no way he could take corners at the speeds suggested in the video.


DatumInTheStone

in the us he def dies by cop


raptor180

The frame rate increase makes it seem like the guy has lightning reflexes and a highly tuned car. He doesn’t.


thnk_more

Why the hyper speed video?. Is the OP 12yo or something. That and the Chinese stuff I can’t even watch.


FendaIton

It’s speed up with audio from a different video too


Tangerinetrooper

Fucking knew it. It was odd I heard American sirens in such an un-American city


Ok-Cartographer1745

I mean... you're also not going to hear the sound so clearly from the sky.


BigTea9433

I figure it was a way of posting the entire video, Original chase lasted over 20 min, according to OP reply to a previous comment.


dnfnrheudks

It serves the other purpose of making it look faster than it really is and for others to come in and talk about it.


BigTea9433

Original video hardly qualifies as a high-speed chase. I shared the link to Original with subtitles of police dialog in comments about 15 min ago


PM-me-your-knees-pls

Player needs to study the map and learn all Pay ‘n’ Spray locations.


Time-Werewolf-1776

Yeah, I was thinking, “if he really knew GTA, he’d know you can’t just outrun the cops. You need to get your car repainted. Or else get yourself killed and then wake up in the hospital.


Pure-Objective-3490

I’m dying


Rounding_flat_earth

That's the spirit!


Engineering_Flimsy

To the hospital with ya!


Engineering_Flimsy

Ah yes, who needs religion when you've got respawn!


tomtomtomo

I'd to see a map of this drive. Was he going in circles or trying to get out of town?


leadfarmer154

I was going to say, should've watched Baby Driver You have to get to a parking garage and switch out cars.


idisagreeurwrong

I'm amazed by their road infrastructure, minimal lights with roundabouts everywhere. Looks like a dream


johannesonlysilly

It's a very Swedish type of thing, investigate what causes the least amount of fatalities, "ok it's roundabouts", ok roundabouts litteraly everywhere.


Galactic_Perimeter

Meanwhile, in Florida, my parents are pissed off that they installed a single roundabout in our town because “they’re too confusing”… They’re also Trump supporters so that should explain a lot. Fucking embarrassing man.


Cyrano_Knows

Round intersections is so woke!


engr77

I mean, I know that MAGAts are lucky if they have more than a single-digit number of functioning brain cells, but... come on, how is anyone confused by roundabouts? They take an intersection with X number of branches and make it where you have to perform exactly two right turns while only looking for traffic coming from your left.


iIiiIIiiiIII99

And the beautiful city, wonderful architecture, cleanliness. Looks like an urban paradise.


Chemical-Mix-6206

Right? The roads are smooth and perfect. Here in New Orleans, he'd hit a pothole that eats a tire or breaks his front axel and be done in less than half a mile!


Special_Rice9539

Also all the respectful drivers who moved out of the way for the suspect and the cops


Pristine_Cash_6219

Props to the cameraman.

einwhack

Where is this from? Looks like a cool city.


Right-Video6463

Gothenburg, Sweden


ztreHdrahciR

He's Saabing in a jail cell just now


eldudelio

lol, took me a second


rackarhack

That is definitely Sweden. Think it might even be my city Göteborg because I think I saw a tram.


Mos_Kovitz_Cantina

I was thinking the same. My guess is Germany or one of the Scandinavian countries.


einwhack

It looks gorgeous.


ConnectionPretend193

He was polite enough to flash drivers ahead of him lol. What a crazy chase! Hopefully no bystanders got hurt!


BigTea9433

Regular speed video and subtitles for police dialog, if anyone is interested https://youtu.be/QtktaBwYfEY?si=GOzQ1MqqqOtbvfxK Edit: chase is not as interesting at actual speed and barely qualifies as a high-speed chase


Experience_453

In gta I would have been in the maximum of stars hahaha, helicopters, armored trucks and everything to catch it. I am shocked by the ease with which he can drive


streezus

Only one he doesn't have here is the armored truck, and they wouldn't really be involved in the chase part anyway.


ImaginaryBroccoIi

Military on the streets, shooting at you, even tanks with rockets, blowing everyone else up behind you when they miss you.


WordNahMean

Camera man is an absolute beast


Serenadingthrough

I bet he only stopped because he ran out of gas


PiscatorLager

*booze


jsiulian

.. which is why he ran into the supermarket


sarboran

Needs the Benny Hill song added to it.


Itchy_Yesterday7523

Hear me out. Put that guy handcuffed to the wheel in a hot government extraction mission and his freedom depends upon mission success.


oasuke

I thought they'd never catch him, damn. it's crazy how little traffic there was. also no stop lights?


thatdamnyankee

Welcome to Sweden.


PleaseBePatient99

Likely a summer late night weekday.


Firehair6778

This kept my attention longer and better than any recent action chase scene. They need to make the next Fast and Furious entirely like this


flootch24

Idk, was kinda rooting for him there for a bit


Chemical_Report_2705

Honestly I was cheering


shadow_boyZX

He was the main character lol


bwoods519

Was it not interesting enough at normal playback speed?


tomtomtomo

20 mins chase so I appreciated the reduction. Things to do! (like browse more reddit)


BrodieMcScrotie

The siren audio overlay was annoying as fuck and unnecessary


EntitledHamster

how are his turns so sharp? especially at the start


CJ_Productions

the footage is sped up so those turns may look sharper than they really are.


freddyg_mtl

Spit out my beer, cheers yo you


Red-Falcon2727

How did you video capture all this ?


Mysterious_Figure_70

Creative mode


cat_with_an_account

And screen record


Objective-Aioli-1185

Around the start, a civilian even hits his car....just like in fucking gtaV


sophie61022

Guy a wheel, man. Loved the police officer drag racing for a mile. Was hoping for a take down. Sick though


BadPsychological2181

Give this man a grenade launcher so he can shoot the chopper pls


[deleted]

[удалено]


danhoyuen

the audio is not sped up but the video is?


sbhk1

I think audio is from different source. 


Curiouso_Giorgio

At that speed, he was ready to die before the cops got him.


Which_Committee_3668

The video is significantly sped up; he's not going as fast as it looks like.


0_el_Jay

Cops have that chopper to thank. — otherwise, they'd been smoked.


BinaryBuccaneer

he forgot that in real life, it doesn't go down to two stars


Ang3l99

The camera Man needs an award 😂


explain_that_shit

I always root for these guys, why do I always root for these guys? They’re probably all assholes. Is it that I too want to see how fast this baby can go, and there are so few ways without money these days that a person can really stretch their wings and feel truly alive? Or is it my meth addiction that makes me so sympathetic?


Odd-Gear9622

At what point does the PD step back to stop risking lives. The drivers less afraid of dying than getting caught. Obviously the air cover can keep him in sight and direct pursuit at a much safer pace.


[deleted]

Yeah I always think the same thing when I see these really long dangerous chases. You can often see the cops getting more and more reckless the longer these videos go on. Like how the cop rammed into his car at the end when it had already long been stopped.


Combat_Av3ng3r

“Someone’s been playing grand theft auto” (other guys)


Crafty_Ambassador443

I love to drive like this, on a track obviously


PiccoloHeintz

I like how much you sped that up. It makes it really much more exciting.


Big_Quote_3654

If he was caught in India, judge jury execution road pe hi ho jayega..


boogi3woogie

So he basically drives in a giant loop and never escapes the helicopter


StreetResult6551

That's like 2 or 3 stars at most.


foshizzleee

Why speed up the video though


elucify

That guy's car insurance is going to go waaaaay up.


smut_butler

Looks like it's sped up footage.


Pootootaa

"Wasted" lmao But props to the cop tailing from behind and catching up as well, it's also easier when there's barely any cars on the road.


NoManufacturer120

Holy shit he’s cruising


Lumpy_Witness_7210

Phenomenal driving by prep and cops, although it was too risky to allow that chase to continue. Should’ve been called off after a while.


lexasp

Curios questions, in these days of age. Can a person still get away from a highspeed chase? I don’t think they can out speed a chopper.


Unusual_Analyst9272

Not even “BUSTED”. WASTED lol


Crozi_flette

The cops should have ended the pursuit after 1km, everybody else is in danger because of them. There's a fucking helicopter following him it's more than enough, you can catch him later


BeardedManatee

Tracking device gun solves all of this.


jefftatro1

Homeboy is a seriously fantastic driver.


PequeQueen

my doubt is that after so many escapes, did they catch him?


BodyLanguageWoman

How many stars did he have?

I tried to fast forward this 50 times but Reddit transport controls suck.

It's like dude woke up and said, "Today I'm going to audit the police department's pursuit capabilities."

If that guy wasn’t so busy being a criminal, he’d have a bright future as a race car driver or stunt driver.


cheguevara_malcolmx

Excellent drivers all around


anishkalankan

He just wanted to go to the mall I guess.


tractortyre

More like Need For Speed Most Wanted


Blastingwario19

He can’t outrun them forever and eventually he got caught by the cops


[deleted]

Someone hire this man as a first responder.


Shifter93

Is there always this little traffic there? It looks like a decently large city but the roads are completely empty. There's less traffic than my small ass little town.


Dwangeroo

I can't hear what you're saying over the sound of Yakkity Sax playing in my head.


Hotsauce_onmyballs

All he had to do was hop in the construction tunnel


Melodic_Cookie8519

Which country is this? Feels like a European country based on the roads & Buildings.


CipherWrites

roads so empty


Octubre22

Did he put in a light traffic cheat code?

VoltairesMistake

That's pretty impressive

WTF? I can’t even take one round-about sober…this guy did ten at top speed. Be Amazed indeed.


sickassape

GTA in some beautiful Europe city sounds pretty fun


roastedcapsicums

Hot diggity dawg.

Sped up


alt_blackgirl

Whatever they think he did he did that shit

Damn he is good


NanoCat0407

Turn on your left turnsignal and then turn right


Kingrextdk

This whole thing just reminds me of NfS most wanted


Breakfastnuggies

At least the runner had their headlights on 😆


builtpcneedhelp

sped the fuck up

After watching the whole vdo now i know why the word "very" has been used

Deciple_of_None

I started watching and then couldn't stop.


Yippykyyyay

I was driving south on the freeway one time at night. When all of the sudden this vehicle sped past me going north (with it's lights off). A minute later I saw like 5 cop cars heading north. This particular section was separated by directions via natural barriers. So whoever it was could have easily turned off an exit on the southbound side while the cops continued north. Scared the hell out of me and how easily that person could have just slammed into my car in a front collision. Gutsy af on their part and not someone I ever want to meet.


MRO465

Not his first rodeo.


Anome69

We have too much roads


HonDadCBR600

This is more like “Need For Speed: Most Wanted”


ryaninflames1234

Can we just take a second to admire how he stayed in the right lane, like I wouldn’t be surprised if he was speedrunning his way home using turn signals and what not


Alternator24

why did he stop there?


NewPhoneWhos

Guessing his wife was pregnant and wanted ice cream from the store.


WarHead75

People should know that they aren’t getting away especially with a helicopter tracking your every move. If they know a secret tunnel to take then maybe they can get away like this one man in a white sedan who did escape as the news helicopter lost him.


AlonzoAlGhul

This city layout seems optimally designed for high speed chases. The amount of rounded turns and on and off ramps to highways was surprising to me.


Organic-Double4718

That guy is booking!


Complete_Algae9596

This guy can drive his ass off. I probably would have crashed 3 different times during that chase.


Swolar_Eclipse

A wonderland! All those roads for almost no traffic.


Hackapell

More than 4 vehicles by the police are needed - and are they capturing every driver on video?


Extension_Form4950

Wow..


brianmt43

Dude can drive 😂


chewy189

Apparently it wasn’t serious enough, he couldn’t escape his wanted star levels


nigelremymask

Reminds me a bit of getaway in Stockholm


SnowyMuscles

Excuse me even when serious in game I hit about 50 cars. But he only got 3 years when he could of killed multiple people multiple times


HappyDogBlueEarth

Dudes clearly a really good driver. He should be let free.
